  • I protest UC students self interest

    Not My Tribe

    UC students are occupying campus buildings, in scenes gloriously reminiscent of the 60s. Debbie Downers have foretold that an antiwar movement would not catch the interest of youth until there was a military draft to affect them. They are right. We’ve seen marches and rallies for peace, but it took [...]

  • Chargers will have Merriman, Phillips

    Haley's Comment

    Whoever the Broncos put at quarterback, and Friday it appeared it will almost certainly be Chris Simms, the Chargers will be at full strength in their pass rush. Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips, who second and first respectively in sacks for the team, both sat out practice Wednesday nursing minor injuries. [...]

  • Rockies bring back catcher Paul Phillips

    Haley's Comment

    Free agent Yorvit Torrealba still might return. But if he doesn’t the Rockies have a backup plan. They signed Paul Phillips to a minor-league contract today, The Denver Post learned, providing them with a veteran to pair with Chris Iannetta. “I still have a shot at being the backup and I [...]

  • Butcher’s gift certificate

    Haley's Comment

    Recently I had a dinner party, and in a thank you note the next week, one of the guests included the best gift I’ve received in a long time: A gift certificate to Oliver’s Meat Market, my favorite butcher in town. My next roast is covered. Take note for the [...]

  • “President or Jihad?”

    Haley's Comment

    I wonder if the major league dimwit at Wolf Interstate Leasing & Sales in Wheat Ridge who put up this billboard understands that all he does — other than humiliate himself — is provide fodder for the Left to smear everyone who is involved in legitimate and substantive opposition to [...]

    UPDATE: According to a photo at 9NEWS, the sign's finished, with the large yellow rectangle containing "BIRTH CERTIFICATE." Classy, especially against the backdrop of pre-owned autos.

    Westword, oh boy:

    So... whaddya think? Is this billboard, on display outside Wolf Interstate Leasing & Sales, 4855 Miller Street in Wheat Ridge,' [...]

  • So long Twitter

    Haley's Comment

    I never liked writing things in under 140 characters anyway. Couldn’t stand writing abbreviated words like “abt” for about or “2″ for too or two. And I didn’t like the “na na, na na na” aspect of how many followers one had. Nobody in the media will admit it, but [...]
