After being on the waiting list for awhile, I checked out Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky from the Denver Public Library. Even after a few pages into it, I felt Alinsky held a dim and grim view of life in the free world. In his view, the only way to achieve the so-called [...]

I joined a media panel September 24 at Tattered Cover in downtown Denver. There were a few sparks. I sat right next to fellow panelist Greg Moore, which was a great position to heap abuse on the Denver Post (which Moore edits). One guy treated the question period as his personal monologue time and finally [...]

Was I right, or was I right?

AMES, IA – When we realized our route would take us through Kansas City we contacted Brad Spangler, with whom we crossed paths in many places online but had yet to meet in person. The reason?

From the InDenverTimes, “Post’s owner to charge for some content at Salt Lake City and others.” Charging for content only insures ain’t nobody gonna read it.

A remarkably clueless LTTE in Indian Country Today by one Craig Fontaine:
As a high school teacher and a collector of oral history for my tribe, I find it troubling that professor Michael Yellow Bird of The University of Kansas would jeopardize the validity of oral history in his support of Ward Churchill. Ward Churchill’s scholarship [...]
