The Tragedy of Unemployment
I have just read a very depressing article in The Atlantic. It makes clear the urgency of addressing unemployment. Meanwhile, our president is here in Colorado attending $1000 a plate dinners to raise money for our beleaguered appointed Democratic senator who has distinguished himself primarily by being undistinguished.

The Election of Scott Brown
Republicans should not get too excited about what happened in Massachusetts. The wave that swept Scott Brown into office may very well sweep the entire political class from whence they now perch. Our fury is not aimed only at Democrats. We are mad at politicians.

Pandora's Box.
Yesterday was a new record for medical marijuana applications: 1800. That means in a typical month we can expect to have over 35000 potheads registering in Colorado to get high in a dispensary that sells not pills, not medicine prescribed by a doctor, but “gourmet weed” for happy potheads.

Gangland Politics.
Colorado is in a battle. Ignoring warnings of what might happen if it passed, voters based on compassionate arguments approved an ordinance permitting medical use of marijuana. It was a measure intended to help those people with severe illnesses, primarily cancer, to manage pain and nausea. As with all “do good” ideas, it is now a disaster.
