When I voted for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, I believed he was ideally situated to speak truth to the Muslim world regarding its intolerance of infidels, apostates, and unbelievers. I still think so. There is an urgent worldwide imperative for reformation of Islamist ideology, or we are all in...

After our drive time radio show, I fought the weather and traffic to get downtown to moderate a mayoral debate. There was plenty of parking in front of West High last Wednesday evening. Denver and its politics seem to be in the doldrums. Memories of more exciting elections stirred within...

In 2010, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, answering a direct question, told a national TV audience, "We are on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are...

What do we know for sure about the tragic Tucson shooting? The intended target for assassination was a Jewish Blue Dog Democrat, Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Here are my top ten reasons why Ken Buck lost:

How are you going to judge a fight where one of the competitors only dances and never punches? I score it for the man who is engaged and competing.

What if there is a fight and one side keeps throwing exceptionally low blows? At a certain point, that kind...

When there is a will, there is often a way. When it comes to solving crimes, it also helps to have DNA. This JonBenet murder mystery has never been lacking for clues. There are too many clues. It is putting all the puzzle pieces together that matters.

In the last...

It is not like John Hickenlooper needs a new nickname. Denver's Mayor seems to like the moniker Hick, and he has no doubt heard less flattering variations on his name. How about Teflon John Hickenlooper as a back-up? Like the Gipper, nothing seems to stick on the Denver Mayor.

Ayn Rand, born a Jew, escaped Russian anti-Semitism and communism in 1926 when she first viewed the Statue of Liberty and made it to the USA. Rand treasured New York skyscrapers and saw them as symbols of the American freedom and capitalism she coveted.

From an early...

Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose

For non-scientists, this massive oil spill contains lots of intellectual complications.  Apparently, scientists are not doing a whole lot better.  Neither are engineers.  Nor are lawyers. 

A caller to our Caplis and Silverman radio show ripped all attorneys on our Wednesday show.  He asked...

Andrew Romanoff has stepped up big. Taking my June 1, 2010 advice delivered through Huffington Post, Romanoff showed his cards last night and revealed truth. Now, the chips will fall where they will. Andrew Romanoff's brand, as a different kind of...

Former Colorado Speaker of the House and Golden Boy Andrew Romanoff has done nothing wrong. Yet. All he has done is provide Colorado Democratic voters a choice when choosing their candidate for U.S. Senator. So far, Romanoff appears to be winning....

What a world, what a day, what a life. That is my standard greeting when I host the Caplis & Silverman Show on 630-KHOW in Denver. Never has that expression been brought home to me more clearly than this weekend.

Happy New Year. Let's look back.

Innovative American publisher Ben Franklin wrote hundreds of years ago that publishing gossip, backbiting and censure "is frequently the means of preventing powerful, politic, ill-designing men from growing too popular. All-examining Censure, with her hundred eyes and thousand tongues,...

Political correctness can be a killer. Normally, "correct" means "truth." Add in politics and the truth gets twisted. Consider the askew analytical abilities of some political and media leaders when it comes to determining if Major Nidal Hasan's motivation was Jihad. Smart journalists write detailed and "balanced"...

We have another Colorado classic here. This is the greatest American media hoax since John Mark Karr deceived the Boulder DA and the media about what happened to another Colorado six year old.
