Post blogger Mike McGarry, co-founder of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, wants to stop the madness that comes when laws are not applied to all. "In former days," he blogs, "aliens were required to demonstrate “good moral character” to qualify for citizenship, but not any more. That’s because we now live under the tyranny of a two–tiered system of laws, one that gives a pass to foreign criminals and another that holds citizens legally accountable for their actions. I have had official documents in my hands that showed that a convicted criminal alien who served time in prison for child molestation was rewarded with U.S. citizenship. It’s the New American Dream."
With the best produce of Paonia to choose from every week, Chef Dava Parr always finds lots of goodies. "It is a step towards much more healthy to have the Beef grass finished naturally," she blogs. "It requires them to be on the hoof for a couple months longer but the animal eats only grass for their lifespan and that makes them healthier and higher in Omega 3 Fatty acids, which makes them healthier for us to eat. We humans don't eat grass, I think you need two stomachs for that, so our necessary grass consumption comes from animals who eat it."
"I invited my neighbor Miss Jodie over this morning for a Squash Blossom Breakfast," she blogs. "I've had a hankering for weeks now since Mona Esposito fed me one on my delivery route in Aspen, and boy was I hungry for them. I stuffed them with a mix of Haystack Smoked Chevre and James Ranch Belford, put in a sliver of roasted Jalapeno, rolled them in egg whites and then I dipped them in flour. Next a few minutes of saute on each side in a hot pan with a little ghee and grapeseed oil."
Aspen Community Theatre is offering a free dance workshop on August 23rd from 10 am to 3 pm hosted by Marisa Post, the director and choreographer for Aspen Community Theatre’s fall musical, "Chicago."

The workshop will include a film history of vaudeville and burlesque, a session on how to follow choreography, culminating in a dance class designed to pull it all together. This class is perfect for actors, singers and dancers of all experience levels.

Bryan plays Kodaly, a dashing clerk who woos his lovely co-worker, Ilona (Jennetta) then does her wrong. Jack Cassidy won the Tony for best supporting actor in a musical in this role in 1964.
Last month I participated in the annual gathering of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR – www.fairus.org) in Washington, DC. Former Colorado Governor Lamm was a keynote speaker – giving us a STARTLING speech.
His national leadership in the immigration debate illustrates his far-reaching understanding of our greatest dilemma in the early years of the 21st century. Every social ill emanates from too many poorly educated, low-income people flooding into the United States – beyond our capacity to sustain them – or ourselves.
Order up, this is the second to last week, and well there is something to say for going out with a bang!!. I will only do one

In tomorrow's America of suffocating political correctness and clashing cultures, unrestricted immigration, both legal and illegal, proves a merciless weapon of war. George Bush promotes it, Condi Rice facilitates it and Dick Cheney shoves it down America’s throat. All maintain memberships in the Council on Foreign Relations—a One World Order organization dedicated to dissolving the borders and sovereignty of the United States of America.
If you look at the ‘elite class’ in America, none of them or their families dwell in the midst of that which they create for Middle America. We do!
During the final days of his presidency, Bill Clinton signed into law Executive Order 13166. Under that far-reaching order, any entity that receives federal funds, including state, county and local governments, must provide translations upon demand in any language a person wishes to conduct business, with the costs of translators and translations carried by the providers, private and public.
Well it seems that we are destined to live in a gang land type setting in the near future. The peaceful valley is not very peaceful anymore.
Who is responsible for this problem?
Are the people that hired the illegals to cut their grass and clean their houses to blame for the shootings? Are the children of the peaceful gardners and maids that do work in the area the culprits ? Or are the companies that hire the illegals to do the labor that they say no one else will do responsible?
There is a false set of choices to solving illegal immigration being perpetuated by the illegal-alien amnesty crowd They claim that our only options are to institute a draconian and implausible mass rounding up of illegals or to give them amnesty, or its euphemistic equivalents (e.g., “regularization,” “earned legalization”). Among those spreading this nonsense are the worse president in U.S. history, Jorge Bush; the notoriously fowl-mouthed presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, and Sen. Ted Kennedy, the killer of Mary Jo Kopechne. Quite the cabal.
Having royally had it, on April 1, 2005, hundreds of peaceful but righteously indignant civilian volunteers of the month-long Minuteman Project assembled in the storied southeastern Arizona city of Tombstone to petition their government for a redress of their grievances—probably thinking they'd catch some hell for doing so, but not knowing the holy-half of it.
Check out the Aspen Townies here This local group of bike riders get together on the 2nd Friday of the month to cruise town and end up at a local pub for a couple of beers.
