Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
Tech, I do not know where you are getting you erroneous information, but I can guarantee that the majority of city employees do not get a "bonus." The salaries have been stagnant for several years. No one is complaining because with our current economic situation, we are happy to have jobs. I have not spoken with anyone who has a $50,000 bonus. There are higher level executives who may pocket that amount of money especially with Bach firing upper level employees and then buying them off with large sums of money. I can guarantee you that the average employee does get any bonus pay or extra compensation that you mentioned. I find it strange that you go after employees when the Mayor is wasting money right and left with the huge buyouts for employees that are fired. In the past you have also whined about employees using the internet and blogging while they are at work. If you looked at the date and time recorded on the blogs, you will see that the majority of the time it is after work hours. I would suggest that you do more research before spouting off with opinions that are not even close to the truth. Have a nice evening!

Re: “Frack war tonight in Boulder”
"FrackNation was funded through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter with 3,305 backers donating $212,265."
So believable because pro fracking conservative types are always cruising Kickstarter looking for projects to put money into that will net them zero return.

Re: “NRA is gunning for Morse”
Nothing from the author about America Votes funded by Bloomberg? Nothing about the lies about so-called criminals and sexual predators? Nothing about the fact this effort is being LED by three people who LIVE in Senate District 11? Could it be the Indy is biased?

Re: “Shortest candidacy in history?”
Siggie...the interesting thing about all of the coverups, trying to hide the true Obama and his real agenda for America, those who would have been informed by these revelations already knew enough not to vote for him. And those uniformed who even now don't fathom or know what he has been doing wouldmstill have voted for him for the freebies. Just wait till Eugenics hits them upside the head. They will be screaming for the rest of us to save them. Not!

Re: “Shortest candidacy in history?”
No mention in the Indy of Memorial Day weekend...when we remember those who died for the right of left wing whack jobs to spew all their crazy stuff, with their hands deep everyone's pockets but their own, while refusing to answer questions about their reign of totalitarian oppression.
Happy Memorial Day Siggie, you may be the only other person who gets it

Re: “Shortest candidacy in history?”
Andy: Okay, let's be fair. Benghazi is huge. A massive cover-up, bigger than Nixon's paranoid play. The President, and the Secretary of State (not to mention Rice and Carney) flat out lied to the American people and perpetuated that lie until things died down and they hoped it would just go away. Stay tuned - it's going to explode.
You are correct on the IRS and Fast and Furious however, the American people (and you) should care.
And we will see how legal the "spying" was. http://theweek.com/article/index/244114/wh…
Do you really believe that Holder had no knowledge?

Re: “The park's toxic neighbor and renewable rural energy”
Why Mr. K you are right? In the "intervening years" science has gone a long way. Micheal Mann has shown everyone how to cherry pick data and ignore all data that shows anything other than what he wanted. He showed people how to "hide the decline". And now with all these "advancements" the little people have learned how to ignore all other atmospheric measurements except the ones coming out of an observatory on the side of an inactive volcano that is within 10 miles of two active volcanoes. Yeah, "science" has gone a long way, a long way backward that is.

Re: “Shortest candidacy in history?”
Sigge: The Democratic party is the blind leading the blind. but to be fair and balanced; Benghazqi is a none story.
IRS scandal is bad anyway you look at and people need some prison time.
Fast and Furious is a typical screwed up government operation but 65% of American does not care or do I.
Spying on AP was legal and allowed and it was investigating not spying.

Give him medal and name part of building after him and then I do not want to hear his name again. People get killed every day for less.

Re: “ Gasland Part II lights up UCCS crowd”
how annoying to have the pro-gas side quoted there are the end..... anyone who works for the oil and gas industry does not have a say, you know that their industry paid for dribble is not accurate. Josh Fox has no stake in this, he is just a grassroots person. But what he saw over time convinced him of the actual reality that fracking poisons and kills. Kudos to Fox for his work to open our eyes, despite the industry shills howling after him every stop he makes.

Re: “Shortest candidacy in history?”
Andy: since we are all trying to be fair and balanced (yeah, right) I'm wondering why you didn't mention the "circus" that passes for the Democrat party. Or do you believe Benghazi, the IRS scandal, fast and furious and the Justice Dept. spying on the Associated Press are just a pack of lies dreamed up by Obama's opposition?

Re: “ Gasland Part II lights up UCCS crowd”
I suppose I should say that I thought his interview with Josh was great, but it IS frustrating to have the review of the film talk more about the banjo playing then about the validity of it while posting the review by the gas industry which has NO facts or science in it and actually has FALSE information. Matt did a great job in the interview and I encourage more of the same, but I guess I just expect that journalists would call out the lies spouted by the industry. Plus it would have made for a better blog. just saying.

Re: “ Gasland Part II lights up UCCS crowd”
Vic Furman, if anyone asks you for a good fracking joke, just say "Fracknation." That film is a joke. The only scientific community that isn't taking a hard look at the mounting evidence that fracking cannot be done safely, is the community practicing the science of industry spin. Don't get your information from the industry spin doctors, Vic.

Re: “ Gasland Part II lights up UCCS crowd”
Josh Fox has been ousted for the many lies he told in a factual Documentary called Fracknation. Right from the very first scene josh was caught in untruths and theatrics, not journalisim. His credibility in the scientific community is at ZERO"

Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
Gosh K, thanks for your wonderful contribution. Of course, censorship wasn't even close to the subject, but not surprising that you would miss it. Very difficult to see reality from high on that perch you place yourself while casting your self-righteous judgments.
As to your other point re: "... anyone and everyone with whom they disagree." Another blatant falsehood. Of course you will see my challenge of your lie as a "malicious personal attack". But such is the distorted, self-deluded liberal mind.

Re: “ Gasland Part II lights up UCCS crowd”
Some valid points made above, but I'd like to remind the commenters that this blog was written by the Film and Food Editor. The same one who did a good interview with Fox in this week's Independent. But I suppose since he did post the industry's toxic emissions, he opened himself up a little for this criticism!

Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
Maico...if you work for the government you are by definition living out of my pocket...that is a fact jack, and I don't get jack for all the taxes I pay to the city, except a bad attitude, poor service, and speed traps.
