Quick shots from today’s WSJ

Interesting nuggets from today’s Wall Street Journal:
Lead story, “The Pentagon has concluded that computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war…”
Germany on Monday said it would close all of its 17 nuclear reactors by 2022.
In 2008, Libya gave Goldman Sachs about $1.3 billion to invest.  GS lost almost all of it. [...]

Dean Singleton makes soft allegations against McInnis

by completecolorado | 12:49 pm, May 27, 2011

Just dropping this post in quickly, but this minor unreported story needs to be memorialized in “print” somewhere.
On Monday, 630 KHOW’s Caplis and Silverman program was at its best, discussing the new developments in the Scott McInnis story.
Besides scoring the big interview of Seeme Hasan, producer Brad Lopez also nailed down an interview with Dean [...]

Mike Rosen, May 23rd, ICYMI, Karl Rove

Great interview today with Karl Rove on the Mike Rosen Show, 850 KOA, talking presidential politics, Obama’s middle east map and the American-Jewish vote, union politics in Wisconsin, and much more.  Great insight.  CHECK IT OUT.

A million here, a million there…

…and pretty soon, you’re talking real money!
Kudos to CBS4 investigative reporter Brian Maas for shining some light on a City of Denver health insurance audit, specifically looking for “free riders.”  By finding false or fake dependents, or finding spouses who really weren’t spouses at all, the city estimates it will save between $1.5 and $2 [...]

Let’s vote on renewable energy, month, by month, by month

by completecolorado | 5:03 pm, April 20, 2011

In 2004, Colorado voters approved Amendment 37, requiring certain (larger) utility providers to obtain 10 percent of their energy from “renewable” sources, like wind or solar power. And since then, the General Assembly has twice voted to raise that limit, so that it now stands at 30% renewable by the year 2020.
And no doubt, [...]

State unions already here, but what about fed employees?

by completecolorado | 6:41 pm, February 27, 2011

Great article in the Wall Street Journal asking President Obama, if unionized state workers are so important, why not the same privileges for fed workers?
Money quote:
Washington politicians may not know much, but they know power—in particular, the art of keeping it. Even Carter Democrats understood the difference between being in electoral debt to the unions, [...]

Fun email of the day…

by completecolorado | 12:50 pm, February 27, 2011

…sent to CompleteColorado, subject line: “WHAT A JOKE”
Your site takes too long to load, you have too much useless and worthless crap tacked on it, you don’t know how to do basic web design, and your egotism and arrogance will sentence it to oblivion.
Signed,
James C. H###
Hmmm. James, if you have helpful suggestions, we’d love to hear [...]

The coming PERA disaster

by completecolorado | 4:05 pm, February 25, 2011

Kudos to Mike Rosen.  Talking about pensions isn’t exactly what you’d call “sexy” talk radio.  But as long as I’ve been in Colorado, Rosen has always dedicated ample time to talking about this looming fiscal disaster for Coloradans.
And kudos to State Treasurer Walker Stapleton for telling it like it is: namely, the unfunded liability is [...]
