    Default Indy releases El Paso County election endorsements

    Whenever I'm not sure which way to vote in an election, I anxiously await the Colorado Springs Independent's endorsements.

    http://www.csindy.com/coloradospring...nt?oid=3405165

    In general if you do the opposite of their recommendations you're probably making the right decision.


    Wasn't sure who to vote for in the D11 School race ... now I know it's Dan Ajamian, Karla Heard-Price and Jeff Kemp

    Of course I'm only voting "No" on 2C, 2D and BB because "Fuck You" isn't an option (but I already knew how I was voting on those before the Indy article).


    So a hearty "Thank You (and Fuck You)" to the Colorado Springs Independent

    But it says Yes on BB is a 'No Brainer'.

    I really agree with Zundfolge's approach and have used it often in the past. If you can't find a source who gets it reliably right all the time, find a source who gets it reliably wrong all the time and do the opposite. Totally agree.

    So what sources do you guys outside of The Springs use like this? I assume the Denver Post and Boulder Daily Camera are pretty reliably wrong, but are they as bad as the Indy?

    I hate the Indy. I do read the opinion page every now and then to get a chuckle. What a bunch of douche bags.

    What's funny is they run the advice pages by Amy Alkon. She is hardcore libertarian and doesn't take crap from idiots. I love reading her Facebook page.

    Here's the thing I don't get, but on every ballot for The Springs, they always ask to retain surplus for parks and rec maintenance.

    Is there something keeping them from using the surplus to fill potholes or do stormwater mitigation?

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.
