Readers of this space perhaps know that I have a burr under my saddle where one Douglas Bruce is concerned. For instance: In a post on the University of Colorado’s unconscionable decision to make Bruce Benson its president, I called Bruce a “perennial pigfucker.” Commenting on his censure by the Colorado legislature for an overtly […]

Taxpayer rights, tax evasion and a modern-day Al Capone: Douglas Bruce busted in Colorado Springs
Were he alive today, Al Capone would probably be a member in good standing of the US House of Representatives, representing the Great State of Illinois. We’ve all read about Capone, of course, and we know that back in the day thugs and gangsters fought the law. And the law won. These days, however, the […]
Colorado is a GREAT place to be a criminal
Thanks to the bungling of the Boulder PD, the Boulder prosecutor’s office and the local and national media we’ll never know who killed JonBenet. But that’s not what we’re talking about today. No, today’s item of business concerns the “sentence” handed down to Douglas Motherfucking Bruce. Anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce will have to report to Denver […]
The University of Colorado provides a handy how-not-to lesson in re-branding
The University of Colorado recently announced that it “will be phasing out its hodgepodge of logos, replacing them with a standard CU symbol.” University spokesman Ken McConnellogue says that “It’s important for the University of Colorado to be consistent and coordinated with its messages and images.

Hickenlooper for Colorado: latest ad is pure doublespeak and John ought to know better

"Teabagger Paradise" revisited: Colorado Springs begs for mercy
Back in February I authored a look at the implications of Colorado’s infamous Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) on the state, and in particular on the city of Colorado Springs, which has been forced to cut services that most would regard as essential in order to comply with one of the most foolish bits of […]
Welcome to Colorado Springs, America's teabagger paradise
Colorado is a beautiful place and it always ranks right at the top of those most desirable places to live rankings (heck, a new poll says the People’s Republic of Boulder is the happiest place in America), but be clear about one thing before you pack up the family to head this way: a consistent […]
I repeat: the University of Colorado will never get another penny of my money
Earlier today I got a call from the University of Colorado, where I earned by doctorate. It was one of those periodic fund-raising calls that probably every alum gets, and the young woman on the other end of the line was incredibly polite and winning. She asked a few questions about how I was doing, […]

Has the University of Colorado sold its soul to the devil?
I’m worried about the University of Colorado, the school where I earned my doctorate. Last night, in one of the more controversial moves in some time, the CU Board of Regents elected Bruce Benson to be the university’s new president. The 6-3 vote fell along party lines and marked the first time in nearly 35 […]
