Set all your buttons, baby, as Jimmy Ibbotson likes to sing about "Con Games With Michael Conniff" on KNFO. The #1 talk show in the Golden Triangle from Aspen to Rifle to Vail is now available online full-time. Now that the original slogan "making the world safe for liberals" has achieved its mission, there is "liberty and justice for all" available on the Web right here on Aspen Post 24/7. So if you missed all or part of the show--or if you are exiled to your first home in a distant land--you now have a way to keep up with the cognoscenti as said Con Man continues into his fifth year "with liberty and justice for all." Move over, Rush. Foggedaboudit Hannity. There's a new boss in town.
“When a candidate for office changes his/her position on a subject” writes new Post blogger Pete in comment 10, “(Romney on abortion; McCain on taxes; Kerry on everything!) they are labeled a flip-flopper. But what is wrong with being a ‘flipper?’... [W]hen a candidate evolves his/her thinking on an issue based on new technologies, unforeseen outcomes, personal experiences, etc., that would be a positive for me. In other words, they start out with a belief on a subject and in later life they "flip" to being a strong proponent of a different point-of-view. What's wrong with allowing candidates one educated flip?
An internet fraud scheme cheated a group of Argentinean nationals destined for Skico jobs out of thousands of dollar. Ignacio Lemos and his friends were lured by a multi-bedroom, single-family home in Aspen advertised for rent on the internet. According to the Vail Daily, “Lemos, 24, said he and nine of his future housemates were bilked out of $500 each after they answered an Internet ad to rent a single-family house in Aspen. They wired a total of $5,000 in deposit money to a man calling himself John Jacobson, who advertised he had a house for rent at the address of 73A Powder St. The problem is, there is no Powder Street in Aspen.”
Recently, Brian Ross of ABC News blogged and produced a piece for ABC TV, and on Good Morning America regarding a very racially charged incident at Texas A&M University. Three students were involved in videotaping a "home video" depicting three white males. Two dominant white males were shooting the video and commanding the submissive white male, complete with a black latex mask on his face, to do as they said, etc. I've seen the video and it is rather well, stupid. Yet, I can also see how the video is being construed as being very nastily racist.
In the year 2000, snowboarding was the fastest-growing sport in the US, with boarders numbering just over 7.2 million. This article was published by the National Strength and Conditioning Association in 2005.
DENVER, COLORADO (Post Time News)--Aspen Skiing Company (SkiCo) is not the only resort company in Colorado trying to keep it green. Of the 26 resorts in the state, "almost all of them are launching some kind of 'green' initiative," according to a story by reporter Julie Dunn.
ASPEN, COLORADO (Post Time News)--The brief filed by Aspen Skiing Company in a case on global warming now before the United States Supreme Court paints an ugly picture of the fate of the resort as the climate in Colorado continues to warm.
Next thing I know, I'm in a free for all slide, backwards, down a hill, multi-million dollar homes on one side with cars out front that would buy me a nice home back in Texas... and yes, on the other side, a steep mountain slope and a river at the bottom. I'm sliding, sliding, turning, turning. I think I did three complete 360's during the slide. I remember just yelling, "Oh God, help me. Oh, God, help me. Oh, God, Help me!"
The announcement last season that MTV would launch its high-definition service from high atop Vail was a head-scratcher for those of us who saw Aspen as the perfect place for just such a venture.
So the announcement that MTV is pulling the plug on Vail comes as no surprise whatsoever. Why? Unlike Aspen, there was no way Vail was going to have the criticial mass of entertainers and artists heading to the Mountains. Unlike Aspen, Vail has no X Games and no U.S. Comedy Arts Festival to call its own, let along Jazz Aspen Snowmass and the bands busting through Belly Up every night.
I don't care if you are Red or Blue. I don't give a flying flip if you are Republican or Democrat. I could care less if you are a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc, etc. Why can't we just all agree that we have a very real opportunity here to tap into the scientific options on the table. Via science, we have the opportunity to turn the tide on incurable diseases.
The latest spate of campaign ugliness--surprise?--stretches all the way from Rush Limbaugh to Eagle County, Colorado, where a candidate for County Commissioner stands anonymously accused of "living with a black man that had past drug convictions and child support issues."
Perhaps it is time for people to rise up and say, "this is my country, that is my government, that party of republicans is not mine... and that party of democrats is not mine, and those choices our President is making are not my choices!"
