I couldn't agree more

The Prior-Art-O-Matic says "walterindenver is like a normal fusebox, but it can be used by children." Well, of course. Everyone knew that.

It's Gotta be True, It's Printed Right Here

Seventeen magazine has published a list of top colleges, "where girls can get the best college experience."

At # 76 on their list is Wabash College, an, ah, all male institution.

I'll leave it to readers to speculate on what sort of "college experience" girls can get there.

Things to do in Colorado

From The World Wide Rant

For those interested, Matt and I will be present at the Phelps demonstration on the 4th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard this Saturday in Fort Collins. We plan to visit Phelps and his (cronies) family, as well as those staging a peaceful presence against Phelps and his hatred. If other bloggers would link to us on Saturday to help expose Phelps and his hate-mongering, it would be much appreciated.

Can't make it myself. Feel free to throw some rocks on my behalf. No, wait, that would be illegal, unwise and Palistinian-like. On second thought, those creeps aren't convincing anyone anyway. You'll do enough just by outnumbering them.

Reclaiming the Language

According to the dictionary, a liberal is one who believes in the fullest amount of personal freedom. This does not come close to describing American leftists. But they've hijacked the word, knowing it gives their statist policies a human, even individualist nuance. Michael at two blowhards.com sees things the same way. Writes he:

I also find it helpful to refuse to let the American left get away with calling itself liberal. I insist on referring to them as leftists, and to their views as leftism. Why let that crowd of sentimentalists, thought-police and socialists maintain exclusive ownership of a word as beautiful as “liberal”?

Liberal; it's our word, we need to take it back.

ILTE of the Day
From Jeffrey A. Dorsey, in today's Denver Post.

As president and CEO of HealthONE - metro Denver's largest health-care system - I am extremely concerned that unless Congress acts quickly to improve Medicare payments and prevent scheduled Medicare cuts, our patients and senior citizens will be the ones who suffer.

This reminds me of a joke. A man walks into a charity office. He says, "There's this family, they're having some hard times. The husband lost his job, they've got four kids, and they're three months behind on the rent. Unless they get $2,000 to bring their rent current they'll be evicted."
Charity caseworker, "Oh, that's terrible. Are you a relative of the family?"
"No, I'm the landlord."
