NPR Reported yesterday that President Obama has advised democrats not to try and push through a health care plan that doesn’t have bipartisan support. This because we’ve lost a democratic seat in the Senate. I’ve been defending the President up to this point. No more. To say I am disappointed...

Most who know me know that I believe in giving back – I have a list of organizations to which I contribute here on my site. It takes time to find charities that are a right fit and that are trustworthy – that’s why I was so heartened this morning when I hear on KBCO that Colorado had...
