Re: “Blues Under the Bridge unveils 2013 lineup”
I highly recommend that you ask the city if it is safe to be under that bridge now that it has been contaminated by the blowing dust from the demolition project next door at 25 Cimino.
My property adjacent to the bridge was heavily contaminated by that dust which contained 17 deadly carcinogens and many unsavory heavy metals. Ask the city to have that area cleaned before you spend any time there. Please don't take children to hang out there during the festival unless the city has cleaned the area by then.

Nothing better than the blues.

Re: “Blues Under the Bridge unveils 2013 lineup”
I live in Seattle and my friend lives in Baltimore .. and we flew to your festival to hear Koko Taylor! What an amazing woman she was, and what a great festival it was! We bought our blues memorabilia, talked to a lot of people, listened to a lot of great music and had a wonderful time. Maybe it's time for us to come back!

Re: “Broadmoor road-closing meeting is tonight”
Difficult to understand why the road should be be vacated if it is going to remain. Why not just close it when it needs to be closed? Have orchestrated that on occasion -- there is a payment for offduty police officers and barricades but it's minimal. It would be cheaper and much more effective in case of emergency.

Just put in some wide tunnels under the road with some first class landscaping.

Re: “Broadmoor road-closing meeting is tonight”
That road belongs to all of the citizens of Colorado Springs...not just the Broadmoor and its well-heeled members.
Amusing that we the citizens just funded a 13 million dollar addition to the zoo and now the Broadmoor is going to block access to it.
So far Anshutz has made our paper a Denver Post supplement, and now he is taking over a section of our city for himself, all while he blocks improvements to the downtown.
Send the old fart back to Denver...

Re: “How the country sees us”
"hater" the new term of the weak minded. They have overused, bigot, and then racist and homophobic and now anyone that does not think like "them" is a "hater".
Disingenuous, close-minded people like dori, only concerned with self-interest, are the ones labeling the Springs. Instead of "hating" Colorado Springs and besmirching its reputation, why don't you simply go away.
As a reminder: Amendment 2 was very simply about limiting "special rights". Only the liars, the brain-dead, the self-absorbed and the gay activists tried to make it into something it was not.

Re: “Broadmoor road-closing meeting is tonight”
Whatever the Broadmoor wants, the Broadmoor gets. The slick Anschutz machine has already greased the necessary palms to get this atrocity approved by a compliant Council.
Who benefits? Not us! Only the Broadmoor benefits from possibly getting a high level golf tournament every five years. The neighbors, meanwhile, get hosed.

Re: “How the country sees us”
We're talking about 3% of the population being gay and otherwise sexually disordered. Colorado has fallen to perversion...so either I am right and the perves will make little economic difference, certainly not enough to mitigate my principles, or you are right and we should see a mass influx of wealthy dope smoking homosexuals that will result in high tone places to have good food and drink with very nice bathrooms.

Re: “How the country sees us”
Really TT & Siggie? You two say we aren't still known as the Hate State & home of homophobia royal when you two are the biggest HATERS on the comment board. I know from a reliable source that Colorado Springs misses out on MILLIONS in tourest dollars from LGBTIQ folks and their supporters. Forgetten about that little thing called Amendment 2 and the boycott that followed? Well for many it has never stopped and until CS shows it is a tolerant and accepting city, we will not attract the businesses and jobs that will follow. Chew on that one boys.

Re: “NBA player Jason Collins: 'I'm black. And I'm gay.'”
Obama today expressed his pride in this fellow...last week he asked God to bless Planned Parenthood and their abortion ministry...stoking the liberal base while debasing society.
That this is important for us to know, that this guy is pulling a career saving stunt, is very pathetic.

Re: “UPDATE: Weinstein posts billboard, protest to follow”
Simply amazing the author of the article neglected to post the selections and links from the website. It was quite clear the website did not compare homosexuality to kleptomania.
Weinstein has a history of this kind of thing, though. He's rabidly anti-Christian, which is his choice, but it makes him a bigot. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle "black".
Do a quick search on his name, and you'll find plenty of background information on Mikey. he tried to sue the USAF and the judge threw the case out, citing the fact that NO ONE in the USAF, nor formerly in the USAF was complaining. Mikey had to make the complaint up out of whole-cloth.
Nice guy. Really.

Re: “UPDATE: Weinstein posts billboard, protest to follow”
He needs to be fired and replaced. He hates Christians and most of the things he says sounds like Hitler talking about the Jews. This man needs to be FIRED!!

Re: “Fun with electronica, skin-whiteners and death cults”
Dang Rod, that is gross and yet, somehow, amusing.
The butt-hole to which you refer is likely Michael Jackson.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
I am not a religious guy, so I see this from a strictly pragmatic perspective. I believe, instead of wasting time with all of this "tiptoe through the tulips", non-competitive, inclusive BS, why don't we go back to teaching the three Rs? Instead of a phony sense of self, wouldn't it be better to have an actual education which could compete with other nations?

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
Inclusive means that rather than teaching values that will have your student function successfully in the world, life is a moral free for all...no wonder when you drive by your school the boys don't know how to wear their pants right and girls are all showing their stomachs to the public, just for starters.

You can insist that God has changed his creational intentions and recreate him to reflect your perversions, but they are still not of God, blessed, or acceptable...not matter how excited about your coming out your friends are...or how many polls heap praise and approval.
