Daily Camera: Letters to the Editor : Henry Kroll: Supporting KGNU community radio

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 20:36:57 +0000

Very excited to see Chomsky in person. I hear it's almost a sellout! More than 200 talks and interviews featuring Chomsky are on Alternative Radio's website (www.alternativeradio.org). Chomsky's a treasure . . . and so is Alternative Radio.

Boulder Express : The state of Boulder media: a panel discussion

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:23:57 +0000

Ooze, indeed. Others call it "the fire hose" -- the amazing amount of superb content that's available for free on the Internet. I'd submit that this abundance is one reason that the Camera, the Post and others are cutting budgets and losing content. Eyeballs (and, as Kevin Kaufman notes, people's time) have gone elsewhere; with them went the viability of print newspapers. That said, I'd say the Post and Camera are jockeying quite deftly into the online realm. And KGNU . . . what can I say? It's a gem, a treasure, a hugely impressive source of information and community every morning.

Boulder Express : Forecast 2011: the direction is downward

Fri, 7 Jan 2011 21:54:20 +0000

Tom calls attention to the hideous problem we all have of being inundated with great "content" on the Internet. The fire hose. And this is an unusually long article to read online, probably the longest article I've ever run. BUT what could I do? I find Kunstler's insights powerful and his writing style irresistible -- sort of Bill McKibben meets Hunter Thompson. He has a growing and devoted following, including among the oligarchs he decries. Despite his rather flamboyant writing style, I find that his facts are accurate, and that he has invaluable insights into the big, big trouble we're in.

Daily Camera.com: : Hawk floats extension idea - Boulder Daily Camera

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:47:15 +0000

In case anyone's interested, one of our reporters posted Hawkins' current contract on the Boulder Reporter website at http://boulderreporter.com/hawkins-well-paid-desp.... Warning: it's a 121MB file so long download time.

Daily Camera.com: : Error leads to half off Boulder councilman Macon Cowles\' property taxes - Boulder Daily Camera

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:05:53 +0000

It's very disconcerting to read (well, skim) so many mean-spirited, rude, personal attacks on someone who's perhaps the most consistently progressive members of the Council -- someone who, for example, actually believes that climate change is for real and requires action. A lot of these writers sound like people who'd flock to Tea Party rallies and/or vote for Sarah Palin. Scary...and not the Boulder I have loved since arriving here in 1970.

elephant journal: Yoga, Sustainability, Politics, Spirituality. : Hate PETA? Watch this.

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:25:01 +0000

I can't understand people who are critical of PETA. This abuse of animals is a serious matter, and it requires aggressive -- sometimes theatrical -- actions to wake people up. Next up: abuse of people!

Daily Camera.com: : In the end, it`s just one drunk talking to another - Boulder Daily Camera

Alcohol abuse tends to be part of a larger psychological disorder, addictive behavior, that displays itself in a variety of repetitive, mind-altering actions. Fortunately, some of these habits can actually be helpful at times -- in particular, workaholism. Anything to take the mind off of that chronic anxiety and depression that's really post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), usually from traumas experienced as a child. That's perhaps a useful, and more current, context for viewing "alcoholism."

Boulder Express : Transit Village plan gets an airing, and some critics aren't dazzled

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:08:55 +0000

You're very welcome. And you'll see that the additions are now there, and I've had the article fact-checked by a few people. We'll have more analysis of the Transit Village by some people with more knowledge than I of the city-planning issues involved.

Boulder Express : BMoCA's bring-your-own-art Friday night bash draws 650

Oopsie. I got some bad info from one of the BMoCA folks. But, hey, nobody's perfect, except Boulder Express. ;-)

Thanks, Bethany. Through the wonders of online publishing, I changed the reference in the story.

Boulder Express : Election analysis: progressives retain narrow edge

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:41:00 +0000

In answer to your suggestion, Martin, I got this reply to my inquiry to Hillary Hall's office (she's the County Clerk and Recorder): "Currently, the unofficial turnout for the 2009 Coordinated Election is about 34 percent. The 2007 Coordinated Election had a turnout of about 41 percent. There are some ballots that could still be counted for the 2009 Coordinated Election. This includes ballots that require a voter to resolve their signature or provide a photocopy of ID. Voters have until Thursday, November 12 to do so. Additionally, the election results will not be official until the canvass board certifies the results. The deadline to certify election results is Friday, November 20. Election results can be viewed at www.VoteBoulder.org." -- Source: Jessie Cornelius at the Boulder County Clerk & Recorder’s Office.

Boulder Express : Heavy police presence marred Halloween Night

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 18:03:16 +0000

I agree and recommend the site. It's interesting. I had one small encounter with an impolite policeman last July 4 when we tried to drive up Flagstaff Mountain (which is closed to traffic on that night). But I didn't know there were widespread concerns. Bears watching!
