In which the Washington Bureau Chief still doesn’t get foreigners

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 12:00 pm, January 25, 2012

One must suppose any state with a functioning hereditary monarchy has let obsession with the rich and famous get out of hand.  Here in the states, we got rid of royalty and replaced it with Hollywood, the U.S. Senate, and drunk Kennedys.  These individuals support a rip-roaring pulp journalism industry, which those of us with degrees pretend not to [...]

Ranking the Top Political Stories in Colorado for 2011

by elpresidente | 6:21 am, December 22, 2011

People’s Press Collective has thrown together a quick, informal, and non-intended-to-be-scientific-but-fun-anyway survey for our readers to rank their Top Political Stories in Colorado for the past year. There have been some doozies, which would be an understatement.

Bill of Rights Day: Celebration or Mourning?

by Bob Adelmann | 5:57 am, December 19, 2011

This was hard for me to write as there isn’t much good news. Both the Democrats and the Republicans overwhelmingly have voted to abrogate our rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. That’s correct: our own elected representatives, who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, are now guilty of treason by ignoring it and imperiously mandating controls and limitations on citizens never dreamed of in our founders’ worst nightmares.

Institute for Justice: Licensing Tour Guides is Unconstitutional

by Bob Adelmann | 12:56 pm, December 18, 2011

The more I read about IJ the better I like them. I’ve heard one of their attorneys speak about one of their cases, and was impressed. When I called the lead attorney in the Tait case (see the article) he was cordial to a fault, and he graciously allowed me to quote him in the article. Sorta changes your mind about attorneys, doesn’t it?

In Which the Washington Bureau Chief Prays This One Doesn’t Get Passed Ex Post Facto

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 8:30 am, October 14, 2011

Buried in the GOP plan to re-authorize the TSA is a clause that could make it a felony to satirize or parody that cadre of polyester clad perverts*. The language of the proposed law bans, “without written permission, us[ing] the words, acronyms, or symbols of those agencies on apparel or in a publication “in a [...]

PPC’s Re|Education Camp: A Value Proposition

by elpresidente | 3:44 pm, September 20, 2011

Why PPC’s Re|Education Camp you might ask? Simply put–we’re better than the competition. More advanced and thorough than similar digital training camps, yet at a better price. That’s not to say that other training camps aren’t helpful or useful. We’ve been to some of them ourselves, and found them to be good in areas PPC [...]

In Defense of the Political Insult

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 4:31 pm, September 16, 2011

It is one thing to allow some behavior legally and another altogether to smile upon it in polite society. Trying to legislate manners is as stupid and dangerous as trying to lower the murder rate via cotillion lessons.

In which the Washington Bureau Chief is just asking to be denounced

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 2:33 pm, September 14, 2011

I’ve already given my two cents on one aspect of the Obama reelection campaign, a search-and-destroy approach to message control called AttackWatch.  Basically, the President wants his shrinking fanbase to do the work of digging up every scrap of media that paints him in a less-than-flattering light.  On that count, I sarcastically touted the benefits [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief doesn’t care about your feelings

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 8:53 am, September 7, 2011

Each time I hear about someone I dislike suffering, I smile a little.  Schadenfreude, it’s called, and it both human and, I hold, Constitutional. Case in point, one of my least favorite creatures, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.  Conservative news aggregator The Drudge Report does not like the lady Jan, along with a sizable chunk [...]

A quick hit on the Westboro Baptist Church decision…

by David K. Williams, Jr. | 11:18 am, March 3, 2011

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Westboro Baptist Church case is a loss for civility, good manners, politeness and basic decorum. Thank God the government is not in charge of enforcing any of those things.The case is an excellent example of why…
