The Bat and the Rat
by
Murray R., age 5, student at Broomfield Academy
The sun was shining.
It was fun to play.
Rat was out of the house.
All the bats flew away.
The bat flew down.
The rat got away.
The bat chased the rat.
The rat hid under the mat.
The rat found some cheese
And ran under my knees.
The bat found some blood
But it was a dud!
The bat and the rat got…

The backers of Amendment 52 say it will improve I-70 or other transportation in Colorado (the measure's a big vague). Yet none of the traditional traditional transportation groups in Colorado are contributing any money to the effort. Club 20, the big West Slope lobbying group is opposing it. It goes against recommendations by I-70 communities. And all of the money behind Amendment 52 comes from out-of-state oil and gas companies.
Why would out-of-state oil and gas companies…

Here’s a plan I could get behind!!! If only…….
Hi Pals,
I’m against the $85 BILLION bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a “We Deserve It” dividend. To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. citizens, aged 18+.
Our population is about 301 million counting every man, woman and child. So, 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up. Now, divide 200 million, 18+ adults…
