As I was trying to wake up this morning,

I flicked on the TV, where Channel 4 had a helicopter covering a live car chase, that had begun in Longmont. I watched as a stolen SUV, (reportedly with a 4 yr old in it), and was fleeing at high speeds (over 100 mph), going the wrong direction on hiways and streets, driving across fields to merge into hiway traffic, running lights and stop signs and bouncing off other cars while driving like a wild man. At some point a Colo State Patrolman was seriously injured. Cops were trying to throw 'stop sticks' (to blow his tires) several times, in his path, but he'd avoid them, while innocent motorists didn't. I saw him force a woman out of her minivan as he changed vehicles and the chase went from north of Denver, then near DIA and to south Denver. After many near misses and light hits, he dragged another woman out of her car (a nice BMW?) and took off again, as the helicopter camera broadcst his every move. He finally wrecked the car (and a few others) as he sped through a crowded interesection, took off running and was finally caught as he couldn't make it over a fence. I'm surprised the cops didn't beat the crap out of him, like they do in California chases.. Pretty intense way to start the day. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2014/03/12/stolen-suv-evades-police-north-of-denver-after-boy-goes-missing/

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
