In response to Myles's post about this article describing a recent Colorado Supreme Court Decision.
I decided that my blog would be a better avenue for discussion because I have a few thoughts on this.
A bit of background: the Colorado Supreme Court commuted sentence for a convicted murderer because jurors considered ...

Some 11 days ago, Senators Boxer and Clinton sponsored legislation that provide for "sweeping voting reforms" for the next election cycle. I think that we can all agree that the election system in the United States is not as good as it could be, with companies like Diebold making voting ...

Democrats, who dominate the California House delegation, have been seeking the meeting for more than a year. But for Republicans, it's fraught with land mines because any concerted advocacy with Democrats for the good of California could cast them sideways with the priorities of the Republican-controlled Congress and the White ...

I think it's about time to junk the state constitution and to send our lawmakers about rewriting it. There is something wrong when we, as a state, need to send what otherwise might amount to piddly changes direct to the voters or when we have to draft constitutional amendments to ...

A vacation from reality,
this weekend didst bring me,
I cuddled with Sarah,
at Ellen's party.
I enjoyed the party,

for eating cake and cookies,
doth oft make life swell.
I drank some beer
and ...

I like to read what actual people have to say on this coming presidental election. I'm an unabashed liberal, to be sure, but I don't necessarily disagree with viewpoints expressed by my conservative friends. I also don't ignore the opposite side completely.
I spent a little time reading through the conservative ...
