Protesting Pennies for Postcards, Pimping Plenty for Propaganda – Denver Post Editorial Board demonstrates new depths of hypocrisy

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 5:56 am, July 25, 2009

Third time’s apparently the charm for the Denver Post editorial board to stick it to Colorado citizens on the Rice/Ritter/Mullarkey car tax – apparently, this time they couldn’t wait until Saturday, as with their two most recent editorial pronouncements against the peoples’ interest, one and two weeks to the day following July 4th. In their [...]

New Outlet for Continued Protests against Rice/Ritter/Mullarkey Car Tax

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 9:59 am, July 24, 2009

Now that’s customer service!  Colorado citizens protesting  the increased costs of vehicle registration and the outrageous “late fees” imposed by the Rice/Ritter/Mullarkey Car Tax (officially, the “FASTER” bill) now have a new outlet to register their complaints (at least if you’re a resident of Park or Moffatt county), according to a recent Denver Post article [...]

“Let Them Eat Cake” part 2 – Denver Post editorial board wants you to shut up and take it on car tax, late fees

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 4:32 pm, July 20, 2009

“Sure, new late fees for auto registration are steep, but threats that result in extra security are out of line. Just pay your bill.”  So sayeth the Denver Post, in an editorial published Saturday (July 18th). Following on the heels of last Saturday’s suck-up to Governor Ritter’s “compromise” proposal,  the Denver Post editorial board has [...]

Don’t Get Mad, Get Even – Car Tax Blame belongs to Ritter, Legislature, Mullarkey Court – not County Clerks

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 10:00 am, July 20, 2009

Public anger in reaction to the Rice/Ritter car tax – the substantial increases in vehicle registration fees, along with the disproportionately (if not extortionately) high, punitive, and regressive late fees – continues to heat up, apparently nearing the boiling point in several instances (“Anger simmers over auto-registration fees,” in Thursday’s Denver Post).  Public reaction is [...]

Friday Funnies – “inspirational” life story no basis for confirming Sotomayor (or anyone) to lifetime Supreme Court appointment

by CTBC Director | 10:33 pm, July 17, 2009

Following “three days of grueling questioning” (including such hard-hitting gems as “what was the publisher of  the encyclopedias your working-class mother bought you because she so strongly believed in the value of education” and “Perry Mason won all but one of his cases – what was the one case that he lost?“), Sonia Sotomayor is set to [...]

When is a “fee” not a tax? When the Mullarkey Court says so…

by CTBC Director | 10:54 pm, July 16, 2009

In a little-noticed ruling issued November 3rd, 2008 (yes, great time to avoid attention, don’t you think?) the Mullarkey Majority on the Colorado Supreme Court quietly handed down an extremely far-reaching decision designed to permanently end-run TABOR and undermine the Colorado Constitution.  Like most people, I missed the significance of this case (Barber vs. Ritter) both at the time [...]
