The suspect is identified as Sheri Sims, 39, who lives in the 10000 block of South Cedaridge Court, said Deputy Cocha Heyden, spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. First off, I am actually kinda surprised thatLearn More
Racist joke leaves em gasping
So Bill Farr attempted to tell a joke, and ended up making a racist statement which offended most everyone in the room (from the Rocky Mountain News): William R. Farr was pretending to read telegrams congratulating this years award recipient, University of Colorado President Hank Brown, when he pulled out a piece of paper and said, “I have a telegram from the White House.” Then he added, “They’re going to have to change the nameLearn More
More racist ideas from possibly-racist Tancredo
Now as I’ve said before, I don’t know this for certain, but I am fairly certain that Tom Tancredo is a racist. How else can you explain most of his anti-immigrant stances, or his racist-tending ideas? For example, 9NEWS reports that Tancredo wants to have the black and Hispanic congressional caucuses abolished. Apparently, Tancredo believes that these caucuses are equivalent to segregation, which basically just shows that Tancredo has no idea what segregation is. AndLearn More
Open letter to Ted Harvey
After the disgusting behavior during the “debate” about illegal immigration during the special session here in Colorado, I was inspired to write the following letter to my local Representative, Ted Harvey: Mr. Harvey, As a resident in your district, I am shocked and embarrassed at your statements about illegal immigration. Your statement about Mexican gangas was bad enough. And your defense that you were just repeating something out of a newspaper article is not reallyLearn More
Immigration reform: the will of the people
Hmmm… I think this is telling of more than people want to admit: About 250 opponents of the immigration march, with the group Defend Colorado Now, staged their own protest on the south side of Civic Center Park. Their protest began as the thousands of other protestors left the area. So there were 250 people who wanted to oppose immigration reform, while 75,000 gathered in support. Do I really need to say more? No matterLearn More
The Rude Pundit on Tookie Williams’s execution
Once again, the Rude Pundit says it all: And the most disheartening thing of all was how little was mentioned, in the cruel march to the death chamber, of how the ex-wife of one of Williams’ alleged victims, Albert Owens (whose family is entirely fucked-up in conflict over the execution), called for support of Williams’ efforts to redeem himself for his gang-building past: “I, Linda Owens want to build upon Mr. Williams’ peace initiative. ILearn More
Tancredo in the news again
I found a couple of articles at SoapBlox Colorado regarding more fun with Tom Tancredo. If you are a member of the Republican party, don’t you really want to reign this guy in? He’s so extreme, so blatantly bigoted, so plainly insane that he can’t help but hurt your party.. Anyway, the first article is about the war of words between Denver Mayor Hickenlooper and Tancredo regarding Immigration. Basically, Tancredo sent a letter to HickenlooperLearn More
Bennett Blames Media In Flap About Aborting Black Babies
How pathetic is William Bennett? He still can’t take ownership of his horrible comments that aborting all black babies would reduce the crime rate in America. Instead, he is continuing to insist that his comments were taken out of context. His new tack is that he was using these statements to make a “bad argument” which he could then dispute. Which is total bullcrap! Let us not forget exactly what he said: Bennett told aLearn More
Anger rises among Mississippi’s poor after Katrina
I took a break from blogging because of Hurricane Katrina. The destruction and human toll was just too much for me, so I’ve been ignoring this blog for a while. But I am back. And the hurricane deserves to be my first topic. The major question left from the storm concerns the poor response made by emergency services to the residents of the effected areas (esepcially New Orleans). I don’t buy the theory that thisLearn More
