“The fact that they hired David Lane tells me a great deal about the family, and it's not good. Lane has quite a reputation in Denver and while a few still think of him as a man of principles, most people realize that he too will do anything for attention. Let's just say, knowing him personally, I have nothing good to say about him, or any integrity he might have had.”

Colorado Solar Power Outshining State's Gas Industry

“We live in Denver and had enough solar panels put in earlier this year to produce an amount of power equal to our average use. So far we couldn't be happier. Excellent work by Joe Bid-en's friends out of Boulder and the price was a deal b/c of the rebate and tax credit. I always knew I needed the sun in a big way.”

Sandra Day O'Connor: Stop Electing Judges
Commented Sep 14, 2009 at 23:04:05 in Politics
“As a lawyer with 20 years of experience in the judicial system, I agree 100% that judges should not be elected. Appointment, with or without retention by election, is not a problem-free alternative but I cannot imagine wanting anyone who is willing to run for the position to be a judge. It is an inherent conflict and a Bad idea.”

“you might be right. Something needs to done. The Bush administration politicized the DOJ. Am worried we are going to end up with the court swinging to the religious right.

“I think almost anyone should stop the color. There is a difference between bettering ourselves and trying to pretend aging doesn't happen. Grandmothers are generally of an age in which it is appropriate to have gray hair. And gray hair would be considered "attractive" if more women had the courage to wear it. I've been going gray since my 30's and I can't imagine wasting the time and effort to try to fight it. Life is too short.”

“First of all what she said was not factual. Bill had locked up his nomination late April early May, NOT JUNE and she knows that. She brought this up for one reason and one reason only. She stopped short of saying "I am staying in the race just in case Obaman gets assasinated like RFK". That is exactly what she meant and I believe is what she wants to have happen. I THINK SHE WANTS TO WIN AT ANY COST. If it were an accident or if she was sorry, she would have picked up the phone and apologized to Michelle Obama. Can you imagine if someone had said something in this line about her husband. SHE WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO WANT THEM IMPRISONED. She is dispicable and I cannot believe any decent person is not offended. FACTUAL DOES NOT MEAN IT IS DECENT AND RIGHT. GET A CLUE.”

“Ever heard of shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater, LegalMomma?
It is also a fact that all of us urinate and defecate, but I'd be equally upset if I turned on my television news and saw footage of people relieving themselves. The question isn't whether or not Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, the question is whether or not Hillary Clinton should cite the fact as a reason why she hasn't withdrawn from the campaign, especially when her opponent is an African-American who had to be assigned Secret Service protection long before the other candidates due to a an unusually high number of death threats they considered to be credible. It's a matter of what is and isn't appropriate, of basic human decency.”

“Why would Bill have dropped out in June he had all but secured the nomination? That would be a better example of why Obama should stay in the race.
Or do you think the true part is that she is waiting for something therrible to happen to Obama so she can take the nomination?”

“The inappropriateness is on many levels. Sure, it's a fact. But it's all about CONTEXT. It's how you use a fact to support what you're saying. The question was, why are you still in the race? She is using this fact--gosh, an ASSASINATION happened in 1968--as one of the reasons to stay in the race. She was saying "anything can happen." She knows full well what many fear but will not verbalize. She knew full well what she was doing.”
DMW1 replied on May 24, 2008 at 23:53:47
“What was her point? To say that the primaries sometimes run until June and that's why she's staying in? If so, why didn't she just say that? It's easy, watch:
"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June."
She is a Yale educated lawyer, claims 35 years of experience and also claims to be ready on day, but she can't just say what she means? Now we have to go to her supporters for translation?
She didn't just mention this once, she has mentioned political assassinations 4 times when asked why she is remaining in the race (she first mentioned the RFK assassination in a Time interview in March).
You don't find it disturbing that when asked why she is still campaigning political assassinations spring to her mind? And she then speaks these thoughts aloud? I think it shows not only a disturbing train of thought, but a serious lack of judgement.”

“Clinton's comment brought up the taboo topic of the possibility of a rival's assassination, and political analysts said the remark was a serious gaffe.
"This is serious. It's more serious because there were already questions about why Hillary Clinton was still in the race and what she was hoping for," said Calvin Jillson, political science professor at Southern Methodist University.
If there is one thing responsible people in the public eye know, it's that you cannot put suggestions into the media that crazy individuals will interpret as a call to arms, literally.
Public figures do not discuss things like this for that very reason.
It is also a huge leadership and character issue.”
