Daily Camera.com: : CU-Boulder students camp out to draw attention to fossil-fuel divestment movement - Boulder Daily Ca

Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:12:57 +0000

Meanwhile, the student parking lot is jam-packed with Grand Cherokees, 4-Runners, and X-Terra's. Plus, I'm guessing the average CU student uses more electricity than 98% of the other residents of this fair planet. Good grief. Pot, meet kettle.

Don't worry folks, it's not a war it's just a "counter-terrorism" operation...with 500 pound bombs and Tomahawk cruise missiles. I wonder how many Boulderites will be protesting the Democratic Party and its allegiance to the Military Industrial Complex. For shame.

Josh Fox and his movie Gasland failed to note that the famous scene whereby homeowners light their tap water on fire was a complete deception. It's been well documented that methane had seeped into the underground aquifer at least a decade before any fracking took place in the area. Natural methane intrusion into groundwater is not that uncommon. There are lots of sources via google but here's one to watch where he admits people could light their tap water on fire well before fracking - but that it wasn't "relevant.". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9CfUm0QeOk

Daily Camera.com: : Census report: 10.5% of Boulder workers commute by bicycle - Boulder Daily Camera

Thu, 15 May 2014 14:06:41 +0000

I commute to work by bike pretty much every day (blizzards excluded). I'm not sure how they come up with the 10.5% number. I certainly never received a survey, so perhaps they're extrapolating from a smaller sample size. 10.5% may be accurate from May through September but I can tell you that I see very, very few people (sometimes none) commuting by bike from December through March or April. It's dark (in the morning and in the evening) and it gets pretty cold. I do give the city credit for making bike commuting possible with the multiple bike lanes and paths. They also do a great job keeping these paths open during the winter. So at least my car won't be the one slowing you down.

I'm sure Boulderites are in a flux knowing the Military Industrial Complex is alive and well in the heart of Boulder.

Not a single mention of the fact that the current administration has done nothing via fiscal policy that would lead to sustainable long-term, economic growth. Pretty much everything already mentioned above retards economic growth. How about personal income tax reform? Business tax reform? Long-term entitlement reform? A balanced budget? A plan to repatriate the trillions of corporate income being held overseas? Etc. etc.

Tue, 19 Nov 2013 15:33:10 +0000

Here are some questions I have regarding CGI Federal, the company that produced the website: 1) why was the contract for the biggest government expansion given to a Canadian company and not a U.S. company? Amazon couldn't have done a better job? 2) why was the contract a no-bid contract? 3) is it a coincidence that Michelle Obama's friend and Princeton alum is a senior vice president at CGI Federal and has had Christmas dinner at the White House among other visits? 4) Why is CGI still getting additional government contracts from other agencies? http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/cgi-federal-scru...

I guess I commented before I comprehended what I'd read. I just sort of assumed this was the work of 14 or 15 year-olds. My bad.

Just add up the total of all damages, divide by four and give the bills to the respective parents.

I find it interesting that the president can just unilaterally change a law that was passed by Congress. I'm pretty sure that's how they do it in China, too. I think it was this same dictatorial power that allowed him to give an Obamacare exemption to members of Congress and their staffs.

Oops. I was refering to the OTHER dump truck that killed somebody. That one was on Lefthand as well. I don't remember hearing about what happened with the one on Valmont.

Daily Camera.com: : CU-Boulder police: Arrest warrant issued for Golden woman in bicycle theft - Boulder Daily Camera

Thu, 7 Nov 2013 19:38:21 +0000

As I was locking my bike at the gym, a friend pulled up with a new bike. She said she bought it on Craig's list for $100. It looked like a thick-framed Cannondale that had been re-painted (with no other no markings) and no sign of a serial number. I have a real problem not only with bike thieves but also the people who have every reason to believe the bike they're buying is likely stolen.

Daily Camera.com: : Will: Clunker progressivism - Boulder Daily Camera

Thu, 7 Nov 2013 15:44:22 +0000

I would just point out that the money spent on cash for clunkers was all borrowed money that will likely never be paid off as we amass more debt each year and roll over existing debt. Assuming a 3% cost on 10-year treasuries, the overall "cost" of the program will effectively double every 24 years in perpetuity - long after the cars that had been purchased are long since scrapped. It's like buying dinner on a credit card and only paying the minumum due each month.
