Boulder is a Stoopid Place

I’m sure if it was the other way around the Camera would write a headline like this… “McCain leads Obama by ONLY 5 points”.

And that’s the way I see it, Obama’s lead in Colorado is ONLY 5 percentage points. To me that’s a bad sign for Obama.

Keep your distance, the Mom’s are protecting their young.

Boulder Open Space and Mountain Park rangers are warning residents to stay away from unruly mother deer this week, after responding to at least six reports of aggressive female mule deer chasing after homeowners and passers-by who happened upon their resting spots.

It’s birthing season for most deer, ranger supervisor Pete Taylor said, and that means dealing with animals that are acting on instinct more than usual.

“The deer are giving birth, and they like to give birth in people’s yards,” Taylor said. “When people go out to use their yards, the deer can be aggressive.”

The Democrats tie themselves in knots to be green and PC at the upcoming Denver convention.

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000 fanny packs for volunteers. But they had to be made of organic cotton. By unionized labor. In the USA.

Official merchandiser Bob DeMasse scoured the country. His weary conclusion: “That just doesn’t exist.”

Ditto for the baseball caps. “We have a union cap or an organic cap,” Mr. DeMasse says. “But we don’t have a union-organic offering.”

Much of the hand-wringing can be blamed on Denver’s Democratic mayor, John Hickenlooper, who challenged his party and his city to “make this the greenest convention in the history of the planet.”

Convention organizers hired the first-ever Director of Greening, longtime environmental activist Andrea Robinson. Her response to the mayor’s challenge: “That terrifies me!”

Can’t “do” a convention but they’re going to change the world. Laughable and pathetic at the same time.

and recognition that issues exist in other professions as well. This includes engineering, where the problems of engineers are “well known”. Who knew?

Hopefuly Instapundit will expound on the engineer theme or perhaps he already has and I should search his blog!

It’s a last resort as Longmont continues to get “Boulderized”.

Chuck Stout, director of Boulder County Public Health is a rarity among County officials…

As director of Boulder County Public Heath, Chuck Stout agrees that larviciding and education are the foundation of any mosquito-control program.

But he also is “absolutely convinced” that when cities decide to spray insecticides, “we will dramatically reduce the level of human infection.”

“When you have infected mosquitoes in flight, you really only have one option at that point,” Stout said.
