Letter to the Editor: CU Buffs' Darrell Scott has left the (re)building
A fear that many have had since the start of this disaster of a football season has finally been realized. Darrell Scott, the highly touted five star recruit from the 2008 class, has finally had enough of coach Dan Hawkins and his empty promises. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Barry Siff says 'Vote for me'
Ballots have been sent out for the Boulder City Council election, and must be received by the county by Tuesday. Full Story

Obama's plan makes health care safer
One aspect of President Barack Obama's plan is to cut costs by improving the way health care is provided. As a nurse, I observed first-hand how converting to an electronic medical record system increased efficiency while it decreased errors. Full Story

Independence Institute's Neocon agenda
I can appreciate the gadfly element of truly "independent" insight, but this "institute" is primarily an ideologically driven propaganda arm of the Neocon agenda posing itself as a political "think tank."  Full Story

Come see 'The Age of Stupid'
I have noticed that global warming has been appearing more frequently in newspapers across the country. Some articles give readers information about what causes global warming and others do not.  Full Story

Take a hike, Hawk
Coach Hawk: Please leave CU. You realize that the only reason you still have your job is the fact that our athletic department is flat broke. Full Story

Republican health care plan: Don't get sick
There are a lot of things rational, honest Republicans could contribute to the essential health care reform agenda.  Full Story

Public option a must for the U.S.
We must have health care reform in this country if we want to avoid being aligned with the Third World when it comes to taking care of our citizens.  Full Story

It's OK Chicago didn't get the Olympics
I'm from uberliberal Hyde Park in Chicago and, hey, I love my old University of Chicago/Hyde Park neighborhood -- its buildings, its people, its philosophy and its heart and soul. Full Story

Oh, the humanity!
Whether it's the cops announcing they will arrest people for nude pumpkin-headed parading on Halloween, or a kid suspended from the University of Colorado for an entire semester for streaking at a football game, or the FCC fining CBS for Janet Jackson's exposed breast -- when are we going to learn to accept our humanity? Full Story

Boulder a climate change leader
We are fortunate to live in Boulder County. It makes me proud to see all the responsible choices Boulder residents make to have a city and county we can be proud of. Full Story

Letters to the Editor: Go ahead and boo the Buffs
I am writing this in response to John Weibel's letter telling CU fans not to boo their team. University of Colorado students have every right to boo the Buffs when they are doing poorly -- just as they have every right to cheer when they are winning. Full Story

Beware the rise of frankenfoods
I want and deserve the right just by living here on this planet to eat healthy and non-tainted food.  Full Story

Stop those blood-sucking insurance companies
This is not health care reform, it is corporate influence and business as usual. What began as a way to bring relief to citizens is clearly becoming a giveaway to private insurance companies. Full Story

U.S. turning into a banana republic
Unbelievable as it may be, our misfunctioning Congress seems now on the verge of creating, under pressure and financial incentive from our dysfunctional health care industry, a reform bill that only further entrenches the industry's power and profit, a bill that hopefully the president will not let pass his desk. Full Story

Why are CU fans so angry?
In response to the letter "Thanks for nothing, CU fans" that was published Sept. 8: I agree that CU fans are very uncivilized to anyone who is a fan of a team that is playing CU. Full Story

Boulder DA: End your 'war on patients'
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett's "War on Patients" must end. On Aug. 6, he lost the case against Jason Lauve, a disabled medical cannabis patient who was acquitted by a jury of felony marijuana possession.  Full Story

Thanks for nothing, CU fans
To the hundreds of University of Colorado students who felt the need to scream at a 51-year-old man and his 15-year-old daughter at the CU-CSU game Sunday night -- and the few of your classier and enlightened classmates who felt the need to flip us off because we had the audacity to wear green shirts to the game -- it most certainly does not suck to be a CSU Ram. Full Story

Obama caved in face of coporate pressure
Our president charged into battle on his knees, waving the white flag of surrender. In the face of relentless attacks of lies and hate, our leader chose the tactics of appeasement and retreat. Full Story

CU needs equal playing field on 'diversity'
So the university's leaders plan to overhaul CU's "diversity policies." Has the recent Supreme Court decision outlawing the unfair practice of affirmative action (New Haven firefighters case) aroused the university's leaders from their decades-long disregard of the plain meaning of both Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, not to mention the color-blind requirement of our national Constitution's Equal Protection Clause? Full Story
