1) Fans of Honorable Macon Cowles; how did this guy, loved by the voters here in Boulder for his support of various fringe policies, ever manage to get away for years with a grossly undervalued property tax assessment of his home? I mean no criticism of him — I’ve enjoyed some interesting e-mail exchanges with Councilman Cowles [...]

Apologies for technical problems
There’s currently some sort of glitch was has caused every comment from readers to all of my blog entries since last October to vanish into cyberspace. I still have them on my dashboard, however. Also, new comments do not follow the correct blog entry; I tried it myself. Patience, please. It’s being worked on now.
Assorted nuts in America’s homeless mecca
Back-to-school alert, she flunked math, and more
1) Parents of BVSD students who ride the SKIP bus to school should be familiar with the offenders on this list who reside at Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, 4869 N. Broadway – http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files/Police/editedredactedsexoffenders081810.pdf Please, discuss it with your kids and show them the photos of these predators! 2) See — http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_15821450 Quoting from the [...]
A success story from Boulder Shelter
I first met “Lenny”, which isn’t his real name, early in 2009. He was very motivated to improve his situation, was clean and sober, and he got into the transitional living program at Boulder Shelter for the Homeless soon thereafter. He had always expressed reservations to me about others in that program, who were simply [...]
Noodles Romanoff, Guest Blogger (maybe), and more
1) I’m so relieved that the inane Andrew Romanoff was defeated in yesterday’s Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate. Boulder County Democrats supported him, of course, as the fringe Dems they truly are, intent on shooting themselves in the foot and helping the GOP. Apparently, the endorsement by President Obama of Sen. Bennet trumps that by Slick Willie of Noodles. [...]
Harmony restored, pesky foxes, and more
1) The curse of Warthog Woman has been lifted, with her departure from Boulder, CO! I understand that she has gone to another state and will probably not return here . . . It’s like we’ve each been suffering from a painful boil on the backside, and had to wait patiently for it to come [...]
WW’s meltdown, bushwhackers, and Street Justice
1) Last Saturday night at a no-longer-secret homeless campsite in north Boulder, Warthog Woman once again wanted to continue jabbering as everyone else was ready to settle down and sleep. WW, for whatever passes for reason in her disturbed mind, decided to criticize our Armed Forces. Eventually, a homeless veteran told her: “Lady, we’re all trying [...]
Bugtussle seeks redemption, warthog sighting, and more
1) Bugtussle has moved on from Boulder, with the intent to enter rehab in another state. I wish him well. BTW, it’s a good idea for anyone battling substance abuse to get out of Boulder, CO; this community tends to undermine the efforts of any homeless alcoholic or drug addict to get clean and sober [...]
‘Spokes Folks’
See this story from Sarah Palin’s hometown newspaper – http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2010/07/13/local_news/doc4c3c14c1104d7697964379.txt I’ll bet they even obey all traffic laws . . .
A happy camper
It’s long overdue for me to salute a legendary Boulder entertainer, who happens to be homeless. He can often be found at the corner of N. Broadway and U.S. 36, singing and playing the guitar and greeting passersby with kind words of concern. I’m proud that he considers me a friend. This gentleman has faced [...]
