Tchah! As close as I live to Heidelberg, that won't make me cast my vote for the local boy!

Oh, damn the partisanship! If Bacon and Fries can’t go together, I don’t want to live in a democracy anymore!

LeBoeuf-Little comment from Nicole J. LeBoeuf-Little on 7.Nov.08 Will this mean more pork in Colorado?

I'm in favor of earmarks for tasty delis throughout the state. I can personally vouch for the spicy wild boar sandwiches at the Boulder Creek Market.

I understand I might get to visit there next spring. First time since 2004. I always think I'll get to go home, like, once a year, and it always turns into every four or five.

Anyway... this one is in pretty questionable taste, but it's 100% true that I got to vote for both Massa and Koons this week. I had thought about photographing one of the Massa signs with a caption, "Meet the new boss..."
