Ready to Move On

I'm not, Todd.  We're nowhere near done. And if you're not hearing about it, you're either deaf and blind or being deliberately indifferent. Except I don't believe you.  I think you're a liar. [Read]

I think the questions raised by some on CUATF that you might actually represent a move in the right direction have been answered.

Have a comment or tip for investigative reporter Jace Larson? Call him at 303-871-1432 or e-mail him

This Day in History: July 13

On July 13, Capt. John Jones was leading a force of 35 Patriot militia (Burke County Regiment - NC). They were going to join Col. Charles McDowell in North Carolina.
