Look for Me at Mount Virtus

by Night Twister | 10:31 pm, April 25, 2010

Because I don’t have time to post regularly, I’ve decided to put my own blog on hold for awhile. It will remain up so you can view previous diaries, but I won’t be posting new content here any more, at least not for a long time. My friend and fellow blogger Ben Degrow [...]

Responding to Peace Action West

by Night Twister | 6:10 pm, February 1, 2010

Peace Action West responded to Diggs Brown’s response to the a survey about foreign policy that I wrote a diary about last week. Their response is so full of logical fallacies that it would take a month to deconstruct. Most of it is an appeal to authority of a list of dubious foreign [...]

Straight Talk

by Night Twister | 8:42 pm, January 29, 2010

Have you ever wished a political candidate would dispense with the usual evasive answers and speaking, but never really saying anything? I found a candidate that has done just that.

The Inevitable Result of Feigning Fiscal Conservatism

by Night Twister | 9:29 am, January 11, 2010

Betsy Markey (D, CO-4) has been working hard lately to convince the voters in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District that she is a fiscal conservative. So hard, in fact, that she claimed to have voted against the TARP funding bill even before she took office (listen here for yourself).

Colorado Political Analysis

by Night Twister | 9:56 pm, December 28, 2009

I was asked to write a political analysis diary of Colorado for the 2010 election cycle at RedState.com. With the help of the good folks at Peoples Press Collective and Rocky Mountain Alliance of Blogs (without their knowledge, of course), I put together a rundown of the major races next year.
This is my own [...]

I’m here at the Budweister Event Center in Loveland, CO for Candidate Search 2010. I was going to summarize the points of each of the candidates, but things went too fast and furious and I didn’t have the full text of the questions beforehand. Therefore, I’ve decided to just post some of my [...]
