I am still amazed by what we saw in Chile and the rescue of the 33 miners. I kept worrying something would happen as they ferried each miner to the surface. The Chileans wrote the book on how to conduct a rescue operation and the transparency, the openness they gave to the rest of the world to follow it. No politics, no b.s., no suits and ties getting in the way. Get em out, and they did. The men and women who put that plan together are not receiving enough praise and acclaim for what they did. "Heroes" does not seem a strong enough word for their actions.......Dan Maes is getting beat and battered in his failiing efforts to become Colorado's next Governor. Even if he were to step down and help the republican party focus on Tom Tancredo it still, in my opinion won't be enough to topple John Hickenlooper.....Looking forward to Glenn Becks Colorado Springs visit Tuesday night Ocotber 26th. He is promoting his new book, "Broke." Beck has had a bevy of health issues. A source told me he goes through a case of Diet Coke a day. Can't be that good for the system...So Doug Bruce is sending emails out berating supporters of Props 60, 61 and 101, yet claims he has nothing to do with those tax cutting measures. Right. Can we get this guy a hobby?
