if you tolerate this then your children will be next
I don't blog nearly enough as I should on local stuff - in addition to the itinerant life I've lived over the last ten years, and the commuter character of school and work, there also seems to be a kind of disconnect on the local for lots of college students, and since I've been a college student for like the last four or five years and blah blah - anywho, I often miss the trees for the forest.
Eyes left, and you can see a list of very good CO and Denver blogs, particularly the shiny and sparkly Vestal Vespa, Soapblox CO, and Howling at a Waning Moon. Another, one I don't read nearly enough of, is Rocky Watch, where a brave Denver rez named Lisa occasionally picks apart The Rocky Mountain News, sort of a of nitwit cousin of the hideous New York Post.
While Lisa normally blogs on the Rocky (hence the name) she introduces a recent opinion piece published elsewhere by former Colorado Senate Leader John Andrews, a kind of bloody to-do list that will win the Yoo Ess Ay "World War IV" (For even more twisted reading, check out the comments - apparently, indicting Kofi Annan and invading Syria just isn't good enough for some people).
Much of what I do end up reading about the city or Colorado tends to be pretty bread and butter politicsy-type stuff: policy, environment, that sort of thing. And while Denver isn't exactly the planet Coruscant, you can carve out a little bit of cosmo life there. It's easy to forget that one of the pillars of the country's religious right network is only fifty or so miles to the south, easy to forget the kind of water people drink out in the sticks and what it apparently makes them do, easy to forget that what it is we want to build our bridges over doesn't always begin and end with the White House and Congress.
