Aside from the fact that they are pedantic and boring, they are not such a singular voice that they couldn’t operate with subscriber support ala what the NYT is doing. They’ve been spoiled for too long.<br /><br />That is not to say, however, that the motivation behind this measure isn’t purely partisan and disgusting, and ornamental as it won’t get anywhere in the Senate.<br />—TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298390238593495215.post-3693099443390298082011-03-21T07:57:55.531-06:002011-03-21T07:57:55.531-06:00Good by Click and Clack, Hello Clap and Crap.

Doug Lamborn is among the uptight, far-right bunch from El Paso County who seem to be bent on destroying the America I've known and loved for 80 years. Locally these guys conned voters into passing TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights), which has plunged Colorado into a tarpit of debt. What these guys say sounds good to some, but it doesn't ever work for the public good. TABOR, for example, was designed to aid Realtors. It did that, at great expense to the decent, hard-working citizens of Colorado who aren't in that business. The bill has a ratcheting effect on revenue that caused a devastating effect on public services that we had taken for granted.<br /><br />Ray Dangel<br />Centennial, COAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298390238593495215.post-33632078853200208722011-03-18T07:33:28.265-06:002011-03-18T07:33:28.265-06:00Sad news.

I remember many instances of national or world turmoil (natural or manmade) when, driving my car and wanting, needing to know more, I tuned to Public Radio. There was no where else to go. Now, via I-this or hand-held that, there's every radio station, TV station, news network, social network, blog, etc., etc., etc., under the sun. Which will be the go-to source for timely, reliable and sane information?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
