Boulder floodplain ordinance spurs concern among business leaders
Hence the name of this blog.
Once 70% of energy comes from “renewables” just think of the rules that will be imposed for the 100 year windless months and the 100 year cloudy month.
The Boulder regulators lust for power is an unquencheable thirst.
“We want to encourage people to be self-sufficient, not to be dependent on the government,” she said.
The removals are part of an effort to change the culture of the state’s welfare department and slash tens of millions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse, Corrigan said.
Mind boggling, absolutely.
Greenspan: US “Can Pay Any Debt It Has Because We Can Always Print Money”
Beyond belief, simply beyond belief. If I were a US creditor, after hearing this bullshit come out of Alan Greespan’s mouth I’d be looking somewhere else to place my money. A mattress would do nicely.
(fast forward to about 55 seconds)
according to European court.
At least in the United States it’s only free cell phones.
Can’t imagine why.
With their power-base threatened, Wisconsin’s political establishment is cracking up. Expect to see the same sort of thing on the national level, as matters progress.

Never have I been so glad to live in the County instead of the City. This fantasy power play will turn into a nightmare unless the citizens of Boulder prevent it.
To the opponents, good luck, you’re going to need it.
From commenter BoulderNative …
Brace for the thermostat nanny-state. There is no way folks like Macon and Lisa won’t be imposing their will upon your bill.
We will basically have the Sierra Club in charge of our comfort, or lack of it.
The key word here is “like” since this is years away. There’s an almost endless supply of Boulder politicians that would like to control your thermostat for the “greater good”. If you want to stop them, this November is the time.
for unpastuerized milk and cheese?
OK, after heads roll at the ATF, these guys can be next.
The Food and Drug Administration contends raw milk can carry harmful bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria. It’s lawful to manufacture and sell unpasteurized dairy products in California, but certain licenses and permits are required. Stewart and Palmer, the owner of Healthy Family Farms, allegedly didn’t have those permits.
According to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, law enforcement agencies launched a yearlong sting operation when they caught wind of Stewart’s and Palmer’s illicit cheese.
Robert Heinlein…
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.”
As Instapundit notes, it cannot be repeated enough. Hence the posting.
Frequently despised and often condemned sure sums up the typical Boulder opinion, unless your in the clean energy business.
That would be the Democrat running for Anthony Weiner’s old seat.
“I’m running myself right now. On Sept. 14, I’ll be happy to address the president’s election,” State Assemblyman David Weprin said following a press conference at Queens Borough Hall, where he was endorsed by a bevy of female elected leaders.
Perhaps I should create of label titled “smart politicians”?
Just so I make it clear, this is the STOOPID University of Tennessee @ Knoxville.
Also, this pic was “stolen” from the UTK website so it will be voluntarily taken down immediately upon receipt of complaint, or if someone has a good substitute, let me have it!
The breath mint tins with no educational value.
Oh my.
My message to the University of Tennessee (alma mater btw) is to “man up”. If you can give climate change charlatan Al Gore an Honorary Doctorate, you can sure as hell take a little heat for this “mint tin”.
Oh, this is amusing….

From death row to freedom. The journey took a decade.
There are a lot of themes in Maye’s story. It is a story about the drug war, about the death penalty, about race and class in the South. It’s a story about the inadequacies of the criminal justice system, and it’s a story about the conflict between a man’s right to defend his home and a creeping tendency of police departments in America to serve routine search warrants by breaking down doors. But looking back over the last five-and-a-half years, here among Maye’s party of aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters, the most poignant moments that come to mind all seem to revolve around family.
Cory Maye’s a free man now. Read the whole story.
