(Editor's note: Some Colorado Springs councilmen don't see anything wrong with leasing public assets for private profit. Is there anything wrong with that?) Well, let's see. The City Council is so top heavy with Real Estate Brokers including Princess Barbie Czeladtko, and Tim Leigh, and if they get their Fascist way fellow Realtor Steve Bach as "strong mayor" who all ran on money donated by people who favor privatizing ALL public lands, from the BLM lands to the Indian Reservations to the National Parks, National Forests and... city and county parks. How would they do that without a conflict of interest? It seems they're throwing City Funds straight to their own businesses. Then there's an Issue Princess Barbie and a few of her friends (if self-absolbed Princesses HAVE "friends") blaming the drastic fall of real estate value on the visibility of poverty. 23999

Recommendations for the Denver rally tomorrow…
Find out if Fox News is finally realizing that their shit ain't flying as well as they thought it would and if they've decided to charter a fleet of Greyhounds to bus in TeaBags for the "grass roots" counter rally, sponsored by Fox and the other Koch-suckers. Then have REAL grass- roots people infiltrate and get a free ride to the rally, courtesy of the Korporate Diktatorship. Tweet and Facebook that around. It's easy to pretend to be a Bagger, just wear one of those stupid "don't tread on me" caps, carry a confederate battle flag and a sign that says "No munky presdnent!" "Unoins are Socalist!" Make sure you misspell every word longer than 5 letters or two syllables. Talk really loud about shooting some more liberals. You'll fit right in. Oh, and don't take a bath first. Make their bus ride as pleasant as possible. The Koch-suckers are now trotting out all their "philanthropic" donations, including to PBS... Remind them that the only reason there's any record of that is because they take every dime of every donation off their taxes. Meaning WE, the worker class, have to pay THEIR advertising budget simply by not cheating on OUR taxes. Finally, Governor Scott
The Memorial Park Grenade and Drugs
The CS Fuzz Dept isn't squeaking very loudly about the grenade they found at Prospect Lake a couple of days ago. There's ways to make a booby trap from a hand grenade, take one and set it down, prop a rock onto it and set the rock on a small stick, so the rock will fall off if the stick is disturbed, lots of ways to make the stick fall out. Test the rig to make sure. assemble it and extract the safety pin then leave, and never go back. That doesn't seem to be the case with the Lake Grenade. But it's Apparently a U.S. Army hand grenade of which there are several types, standard enough in triggering style, weight and size of the device, many made by an Israeli based firm called LGB Ltd. The cops would have a database on who supplies them. NOW... Drugs. 22986
Ed on Internet Radio “pressure points” about Princess Lisa.
I missed the live broadcast/podcast however to term it. But the show has archives, AND, has a live call in number, it's just long distance from here and not a toll-free number. Just a personal take on it, but maybe Mz Czeladtko ought to get a different hairdo. If I wanted a bunch of completely ridiculous spam flooding my email account I'd do it myself but there's an online version, somewhere, of the "Dress Up Barbie" program, she could try out the new look OR ANY OF OUR READERS MIGHT... but put Carrie Fisher's hairdo from Star Wars on her... Barbie also has a tiara to complete the Totally Cryptic And Nobody Would Understand It snark. 22857
Miz Lisa Czeladtko, drop the hell out of the race, M’kay?
You know, there's not many options. Threatening police actions and lawsuits for people mocking your positions on civic issues, especially when you're hoping to be in government power, to be honest, would put you right up there with Rivera and his adopted/anointed replacement Bach-door. And the rest of the Clown Parade that is, sadly, our City Government. You've worked at St Mary's, cool. But a few hours a week doesn't equal one single day of the nightmare Hell that IS Homelessness. And it surely doesn't give you any moral authority to go putting down people who have to endure that Hell. Go back to the Country Club, m'kay? That guy you saw cursing in the park, Remember? Your instant diagnosis of schizophrenia... what if he isn't "crazy" or in the case of real schizophrenia, suffering from a degenerative neurological disorder? Would it make any difference to you, personally? How much concern does that show for HIS welfare as opposed to worrying that children might see what illness or death or age or poverty looks like? I call that the Prince Siddhartha Syndrome. Before he became The Buddha. 22836
Questions for Ed and Herb Weinberg to ask Lisa Czeladtko
Herb Weinberg is a retired ABC News reporter. A link to Ed and Herb teleconferencing. Herb suggests taking a list of questions to ask, here's a few of MINE: Yeah, actually, there's a cop shop right there at the park. Did she KNOW that the man swearing at the Uncle Wilber fountain was actually homeless, actually schizophrenic, or was she making a snap judgment? Usually it takes a team of behavioral specialists and a Neurologist and an Endocrinologist DAYS to diagnose schizophrenia. 22371
Our Elitist Friend Beep-beep and the Anti-po’ folk-unholy-Crusade
play in snow aka beep beep Who is leading or at least cheerleading the charge to keep bicyclists from Acacia Park. She wrote in a comment to the Indy that "only 'the homeless' have bicycles at Acacia Park". Which is a huge crock of shit. The Indy didn't publish it. I don't know if the Elitist Corporate Suck replied to my answer to that, don't care either. Fact is, I'll have MY bicycle at Acacia Park on such occasions as I have to go to either my doctor or my LANDLADY'S doctor and the bus is for one reason or another not an option. What the Bitch means is "People who make less money than she does, therefore aren't worthy of the titles and privileges of Citizenship or even those normally accorded to people just for being born Human". It was in response to the Colorado Springs Gestapo doing sweeps of people having bicycles at the park, which isn't illegal, rather than people riding their bikes in the park, which is. Apparently, the CS Gestapo have decided that anybody who even LOOKS "homeless" is suspected of being a criminal. "Looking Homeless" of course in the arbitrary decision of the Elitist PIGS.
Full of it, Steeped in it, Stepped in a big stinky pile of it…
The India Laptop slammed by tech sales reporter, because he can't understand altruism, patriotism or any other motives other than profit. Now, the Capitalist Overlords use Altruistic and Patriotic sentiments as Sales Gimmicks and really, nothing more. Country means exactly the same to them as God, in other words, a way to skin gullible people for a quick buck. Celebrate Christmas, Easter, Seder, Kwanzaa, with a promotional sale. Dutch Boy sticking his finger in a dyke, image is now used to sell paint and (I think) donuts. And haircuts but we won't go there. The whole point of the article is that nobody does anything for any other living creature without expecting some reward. Except when Fox bankrolls the TeaParty with wall-to-wall 18 hours a day coverage at no cost. Yes, they're so good to the American people. But because the IndiaPad is designed, then unveiled, without marketing strategies like building the factories, (already in existence) training the workers (done that too) and having a half million of the devices ready for sale as soon as the hype period gets to such a frenzy that people are camping outside the Radio Shack or Best Buy for
BP SnotMuffin Hayward to be replaced by American Face.
Not the "First Church of Christ" videographer who does the extremely hilarious, poignant and heavily politicized youtubes. Just a CEO who will patch their "Image" problem by putting up a straw-man who "you'd like to have a beer with" type. The first thought on MY automatically contrarian synaptic apparatus was "IMAGE" Problem? My God, they've poisoned the OCEAN, and they're worried about Bad Publicity? What the HELL are those freaks thinking? 19200
Doug Bruce on video mouthing off about “illiterate peasants”
When Rivera shot off his own foot saying something similar, at least he wasn't running for Mayor (can't, term limits) To be fair, the "Illiterate Peasants" he was referencing weren't the Bus Riding Public who incidentally are the Working Class who support him and the rest of the Parasite Class. They're seasonal labor Farm Workers who quite literally feed his fat piggy ass and those of his Parasite Class comrades. The ones who, like him, feel that the bus service and the people who ride the bus to WORK, mostly, are extraneous and needn't be considered. One attitude spills into the other and then back again. "5000 Illiterate Peasants", compared to your similar indictments of people riding the bus? When Mayor Rivera said something similar, the "illiterate peasants" with whom I was riding the bus and discussing this same issue (Before the Big Purge of bus service) were a retired lady, with really bad health problems that come from aging, and a SCHOOLTEACHER who is blind from birth. I personally can't drive because of my neurological problems, similarly, from birth. Mayor Lyin' el had said that only bums and winos ride the bus. You could tell right there that he wasn't running
Tea-Potty successfully test-fire Dumb Bomb, counters “Smart Bombs” nicely.
Remember the infamous Speech boycotted by whole School Districts including D-11 locally? The Hoam Skule parents, aided and abetted by the Tea-Party, in turn organized and funded by Fox News, combined to convince themselves that Education Is Satanic. Frightened Tea-Baggers kept their kids from hearing the Zombie-Brainwashing message that educational excellence is a good thing. In doing so, they set up a series of events that has led to among other school districts the Kansas City MO ISD closing half their schools, school closings are the Drug of Choice for the "conservatives" because quite simply, the only way they can hold any kind of political power is to Keep the People Ignorant. They remind me of the "Gone Tertiary" mobs in the movie "Omega Man", led by a former (until they burned down every radio and TV station as "evil") Rush Limbaugh think-alike named Matthias. With their torches and robes, burning down schools, libraries, museums, any form of culture and education, chanting "Evil! Evil! Evil! Evil!" BUT... there is a bright side to this. As painful as it seems, they're tearing their own Empire down. Already, after 8 years of Bush junior and 12 years of the Reagan/Bush Regime breaking down
Looking down on petty usefulness
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died on this day in 1791 at the age of forty-five -- allegedly at the hands of friend and fellow composer Antonio Salieri -- while composing his final work, the Requiem. . . If only everyone could feel the power Of harmony like you! But no, for then The world could not exist; no one would want To spend time taking care of life’s low needs; All would be given over to free art. We are but few, we chosen, happy idlers Who look disdainfully at petty usefulness And form a priesthood serving only beauty. Isn’t that so? But now I feel unwell. . . . -Mozart, moments before his death, in Aleksandr Pushkin's play Mozart and Salieri.
