However, these claims are not supported by the data, most of which show that transit and dense development are no more environmentally friendly than autos and low-density suburbs.

It's not about unity in the Democratic Party now that Barack Obama is its presumptive presidential nominee. It's not a call for the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens and - the Unity Party - to unify and try to fix some of the major problems facing the nation.

That's a lot of candles, especially when you consider that rumors of the impending death of the newspaper industry have been floating around ever since the first blogger geekpopped up on the Internet like a pimple on the face of, well, a blogger geek.

That is to say you live here, in Boulder, all the time. You don't necessarily come and go with the changing semesters and holidays. You are not a student.

Here's a guy, minding his own business, standing outside a CU dorm when out of nowhere a full-length mirror comes crashing down on his head. Now the man responsible for Moran's injuries, which included a nasty bump on the head and glass shards imbeded in his scalp, will serve only a year of probation and no jail time thanks in part to a plea for mercy by Moran himself.

But when it comes to higher education, it has seemed in recent years as if the State of Colorado's vision quest hasn't looked far beyond one-seventh of a generation into the future. That's been a shame, because despite the occasional scandalous warts, higher ed and the research done at its institutions quite simply leads to development of cutting-edge technology, useful products and educated professionals. Students also gain exposure to new cultures, systems of government, literature, art, and discourse.

"Just say no" was the big idea of First Lady Nancy Reagan, a concept that assumed kids were being seduced by drug dealers at every turn, not bored and looking for something to enliven the monotony of their lives, as was too often the case.

I think that one reason business people are so much better organized and effective than social justice or environmental activists in achieving their political objectives is that business people can always rally around the almighty dollar.

This means that illegal aliens who snuck into this country will recieve a huge monetary benefit compliments of the already hurting middle-class taxpayers. Gee thanks, Cindy. Liberals like Cindy are always very generous -- with someone else's money, of course.It seems to me that policies like this can only worsen the already critical border-crossing problem by giving an extra incentive to anyone wanting to sneak in to USA. If 12 million illegals isn't enough, this will surely result in more flooding in. I would suggest that if Cindy and others like her want to help illegal aliens that she do so with her own money, and have some respect for the taxpayer for a change. I will not vote for you, Cindy.

On May 15, the House of Representatives voted down a $162 billion funding bill (149-141), largely because 132 Republicans abstained from voting for tactical reasons (not because they are opposed to funding the occupation). On May 22, the Senate approved the funding for $165.4 billion (70-26). A House-Senate conference committee is now working on a compromise bill.
