Ready For....??

Denver's not just gone "Peoples' Repugnant of Boulder" in the 'beyond out there' department; they've exceeded the Boulder freakshow by leaps and bounds.

Preparations for Denver's hosting the Democratic National Convention in August -- and the end of the city as it's kinda now known -- are complicated enough, what with Rush Limbaugh dreaming of riots, and Roseanne Barr demanding them. Now, a Denver resident (perhaps a transient from the aforementioned Boulder) wants to make sure almost anyone is prepared to be amiably received and feted.

In a story from the AP, Jeff Peckman has approached the City Council with the idea that an 18 person commission should be formed for "dealing with issues related to the presence of extraterrestrial beings on Earth". One city official approached for comment merely quipped that "if he gets 4,000 valid signatures on his petition, it goes to a vote of the people". This anonymous commenter's subsequent *rolling of eyes* and fauxgagging was meant to be off the record, I guess.

It's too bad that Peckman's sense of timing is as bad as his sense of reality: the general election's in November. The convention's in August.

Oh whoops.

Granted, Peckman's task of finding 4,000 valid signatures won't be much of a problem in Democrat-controlled Denver: there, anyone can vote, thanks to the ACLU and ACORN. Even dead folks, transients, cartoon characters and illegal aliens.

*TOING*

Had Peckman been a bit more timely, he could have had this 18 person commission in place to deal with elements of what's coming to Denver in August. Like the totally alien, thoroughly out-there fringe freaks that make up "Recreate '68".

Oh well...I don't know about other "progressive" burgs like Berkeley, Boulder, and the state of Massachusetts, but as far as Denver is concerned, no other city in America will be as welcoming to extraterrestrials -- or their unwashed demon spawn that make up "Recreate '68" -- as Denver, if Peckman gets his way.

And with Denver's dumbed-down voter base, I can tell you that his proposal will probably carry by a two or three-to-one margin.

Yoda Spears, you have a home.

Of course, Peckman and his allies probably assume -- as so many like-minded progressives do -- that rolling out a red carpet, and releasing a bunch of "peace doves" to honor and fete what they consider to be VIPs, will be received and properly interpreted by the 'outworlders' as Peckman & Co. intend it.

Obviously, they haven't seen the movie Mars Attacks!
