And I like the way you write it even better.

Now, let’s get Salazar busy here in Flagstaff. Our local ski “resort,” Snowbowl, has been trying for about 20 years to get approval to install snow-making equipment. Some winters have heavy snow, as this one did thanks to global warming. Other winters, we get almost no snow at all, which makes the ski resort business risky, to say the least.

Located on federal forest land, Snowbowl required permission to make its own snow. Without going into detail, they were opposed by the area tribes, and by the tree-huggers, and by the psychics and the local liberals. That the plan included using “gray water” to make the snow (and thus preserve water in the aquifer) didn’t help convince the tribes that their sacred mountains would remain spiritually pure.

The case was finally made a year or two ago, when the Supreme Court of the US found in favor of the Forest Service, Snowbowl, and the local economy. Since then, Snowbowl has been unsuccessful in getting its permit approval to move in Interior. Although they’ve already lost at the highest human court in the USA, the tribes and the libs are still delaying things and Interior is abetting them, and our feckless Congresswoman Kirkpatrick is trying to negotiate a different plan which will use more highly-purified water, and thus be more expensive. If you want to know how the colonists felt under King George, I would say they felt as we do under the reign of King Barack–helpless as he ignores both law and protocol.

would have suited Teddy just fine. Probably the cheaper stuff as well. Cough syrup would probably do for him in a pinch.

I hope his historic legacy is to be remembered as a selfish lush and womanizer whose personal shortcomings resulted in the death of one young woman and unhappy lives for many other people. And teachers hate “No Child Left Behind.”
