Dear Obama,
You aren't a Colorado resident. You are the President of the United States. Do your job and stop worrying about what we are doing here in Colorado.
In short, butt out!

"Politically Unpopular"
According to the Denver Post, Colorado is in for an interesting 10 months. Govenor Ritter, during his announcement that he will not seek reelection reportedly said
His decision to end his re-election bid will free him to make politically unpopular decisions in a tough budget year.When I hear the term "politically unpopular", what I hear is "crap no one wants me to do and would normally fire me for". At least with Ritter Coloradans should not have to worry about increased gun control being one of the politically unpopular things he tries to impliment.

Microchip Implant
I know this has made the rounds before, but it showed up in my inbox and made me laugh, so here it is again for your enjoyment.
THE PATRIOT MICRO CHIP is intended to be implanted in terrorists.
The implant is specifically designed to be installed in the forehead.
When properly installed, it will allow the one implanted, to speak to God.
It comes in various sizes:
The exact size of the implant will be selected by a well-trained and highly skilled technician.
The implant may or may not be painless. Side effects, like headaches and nausea, are temporary.
Some bleeding or swelling may occur at the injection site.

It's Ok, Really. I Was Just Joking!
Why is it that so many professional athletes are kids that never grew up?
Apparently saying that when you pointed a gun at your teammate it was a "joke" makes it all okay.
I shouldn't have to say this, but "jokes" played with guns are never funny, and have the potential to get someone killed. It is right in line with playing a joke by driving right for someone and slamming on the brakes right before you hit them. Not funny one bit, and even less funny when you misjudge or make a "mistake" and run them over.

The Nerd Issue
Family entertainment tonight consisted of pot pies and Aliens In the Attic. It's highly entertaining, especially for anyone who ever played Street Fighter.
The main character in the movie (at least the main character that isn't a CGI mini alien) is a nerd. He purposefully fails his classes in order to fit in. The sad thing is that I have known kids who have done just that. The stigma of being smart, of being different was too much for them to handle. The pressure to fit in won.
Luckily for me, I never had a strong desire to fit in. My parents taught me that different was just fine as long as the different was in a good way. I was taught from an early age that being smart was a good thing. No doubt some of that was having a math teacher for a mother and a science teacher for a father that I could look up to. Not only were they smart, they were respected and well liked. I hope that my two boys, with a mechanical engineer for a father and a chemical engineer for a mother will come to the same conclusion I did years ago. Not only is being a nerd okay, it is a lot of fun.
