• Wake-Up Call: Refinishing the Obama cabinet

   Fresh from his ten-day eco-devo trip to Asia, Governor Bill Ritter is now off on the East Coast, attending a Democratic governors' conference, talking with the Obama team -- and definitely not interviewing for a spot in the cabinet, insists his spokesman, Evan Dreyer. Shortly after the polls closed on November 4, politicos were speculating about which Coloradans would be tapped to go to D.C. As noted in the November 26 blog "So Far, Obama's Snubbed Colorado For His Cabinet -- But Why Go

• Wake-Up Call: Hit the road

  Governor Bill Ritter is heading down to Colorado Springs today, where he'll host a town-hall meeting and sign a number of bills. And along the way, he'll no doubt pass a handful of unauthorized signs along I-25, all asking, "Why does Ritter hate El Paso County?" Why indeed? I asked Evan Dreyer, his press secretary, about the signs, and he offered this: "Silly political stunt by someone with too much time on their hands. At least they spelled Ritter right. The Governor LOVES El Paso County. H

• Can Mike May shock and awe his way into the governor's office?

  Mike May. Among Governor Bill Ritter's latest politically dubious moves was his decision to create a new chief operating officer gig, with a salary of $146,000, to oversee federal stimulus money. That's red meat for the GOP, and House leader Mike May chomped into it like a starving Rottweiler, declaring in a statement that "the job description for this new position is the job description for the governor of the state of Colorado. To hire someone and pay them to do your job and take the responsi

• Wake-up call: Return to sender

  Yesterday, a reader sent me this note: The other day I got a letter in my mail box from Governor Bill Ritter about Long Term Care. It is great to see him helping out Coloradans with a very important life experience issue. I applaud his efforts. However, it pained me to see the postage permit on the envelope was from PA. Working for the print and mail industry, it made me very sad to know that while print and mail shops are struggling to stay open it appears, at least on the surface, that th

• Shmuck of the Week: Josh Penry

  ​This week's shmuck is state Senate minority leader Josh Penry of Grand Junction. He's also gunning for Bill Ritter's Governor job, and the short version of the past few weeks' convoluted saga of schmuckitude is that Penry cares a lot more about his political future than his constituents. (Which makes him exactly like every other politician, which makes every other politician a shmuck. Which means we're probably right about this one). It's tough to decide where to begin, really.

• Jon Caldara doesn't like being ignored, Mr. Ritter

  Jon Caldara makes his feelings known.​Late Thursday afternoon, the Independence Institute, a right-leaning think tank, published an article revealing that only one of Governor Bill Ritter's cabinet members had filed a conflict-of-interest report despite an executive order requiring that everyone do so -- a Todd Shepherd-penned piece that led directly to Ritter issuing a new measure basically restating the first one, with officials given until October 25 to comply. However, the Institute's

• The silencing of Cory Voorhis in the dust-up over Obama nominee Stephanie Villafuerte

  A judge has zipped Cory Voorhis' lips.​This morning's Denver Post features an angry (in a good way) article about Stephanie Villafuerte, a former deputy district attorney and Bill Ritter associate nominated by President Barack Obama as U.S. Attorney. Villafuerte appears to have had a significant level of involvement in a campaign against former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Cory Voorhis, who was accused of accessing the National Crime Information Center computer for dirt a

• Stephanie Villafuerte's latest strategy: simulated openness

  Stephanie Villafuerte has a new strategy in her quest to become a U.S. Attorney.​The nomination as U.S.Attorney of Stephanie Villafuerte hasn't gone nearly as smoothly as the Obama administration would like, due largely to accusations that she was involved in the political accessing of a federal database during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign -- the very act for which former ICE agent Cory Voorhis was sacked. In October, Evan Dreyer, spokesman for Governor Bill Ritter, Villafuerte's forme
