2016 Colorado Caucus-- Will it be killed?

The Denver Post a few days ago printed a guest editorial from two political science (what an oxymoron, remember scientific management, in politics the ivory tower has maintained the term) profs from local institutions on the topic of killing our Colorado Caucus.

You can read the misguided diatribe, but no comments please, not on the Denver Post's website, they cut off comments because they were so adverse towards building the momentum the newspaper was clearly intending to build for it's editorial that came a few days later endorsing the misguided idea.

So the Denver Post is manufacturing news. This wasn't some grassroots groundswell. But read them both here, the editorial and the poly sci profs party-killing proposal. Then comment here or even better fire off your comments to the Denver Post and encourage them to open up the comment threads on these two pages so this can be nipped in the bud:

Are you a recusant? I think I am for now. You?

Recusant is an adjective that means refusing to comply or submit. For example, "The recusants ignored my instructions to get in line after recess". It can also be used as a noun to describe the state of being recusant, or an obstinate refusal or opposition. Recusant can also refer to: A person who refuses to obey or accept established authority An English Roman Catholic from around 1570 to 1791 who refused to attend services of the Church of England A fast-growing eco-friendly natural bags manufacturing and exporting company in Kolkata The word "recusant" comes from the Latin word recūsant, which means "to object" or "to demur".

YOLO

"YOLO" is an acronym that stands for "You Only Live Once." It's a popular phrase used to emphasize the importance of living life to the fullest, taking risks, and seizing opportunities because life is short and finite. The term gained widespread popularity in popular culture, particularly among younger generations, and is often associated with a carefree or adventurous attitude. However, it's worth noting that while the sentiment behind YOLO encourages seizing opportunities, it's also important to balance spontaneity with responsibility and consideration for consequences.
