Why Boulder Sucks

Speed Traps on Broadway

I should fund raise for my latest ticket. I'll create a bumper sticker:

Welcome To Boulder
Home of the Speed Trap


The police must all make of their parents so proud, knowing that they hide from sight so that they can write up tickets.

Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat (fill in blank)

Years ago, I witnessed an argument that I found quite astounding. Two of my co-workers were arguing whether the new guy was a moron or a pinhead. Each brought up valid points about why one description was more accurate than the other. While the debate was held mostly for entertainment purposes, it also demonstrated that pejorative adjectives each have their own unique application.

More than once, I've had the discussion as to whether an action made the guy who perpetrated it a dick or an asshole. That one always seems to be decided by perspective than denotation. Of course there is the age old argument about the absence of the female equivalent to being a dick. Bitch doesn't quite make it, and we will table the c-word argument, as well we should.

The purpose of this little diatribe is to provide an example, and leave it to you, as to what term most accurately applies to Rush Limbaugh. In reference to President Obama, Rush Limbaugh breaks it down to 4 words, I Hope He Fails. I guess it is lost on Mr. Limbaugh that if the President fails to clean up the current mess that he inherited, then we all fail as a country. Rush's sense of team play an patriotism are astounding. I will leave it to you to determine which favorite adjective of yours most aptly applies. Should you have any good ones, please leave a comment.

That About Says It

I've never referenced someone else's post before, but here goes. Michael Shedlock absolutely nails it with his analysis of the current economic crisis entitled Open Letter To Congress On Sharing The Pain. Somewhere along the way, people figured it out. If you are going to F* up, F* up in a big enough way so that others will have to bail your A** out.
