SandBoxBlogs: Eagle County Times "Cordillera Litigation Update – May 2012"

The answer, ECT. Is no, not until powerful enough authorities cut through all this dross layering the real problem, on both sides, up in Cordillera.

"by the fans of Paul Drake and Della Street':
"Up until last week – it was quiet for weeks concerning the ongoing Cordillera Litigation case.
Last week – lots of new Public Record information became available from that (will it ever end?) Cordillera Lawsuit(s)?....

.......Alpine Bank – Recall that Alpine has a performing outstanding loan with the WFP for ~$13.7 Million (Click Here). The ECT has been told several times alleging that this (interest only) WFP loan from Alpine Bank is due in it’s entirety at the end of June 2012. Will Alpine be paid in full at the end of next month? No one knows for sure – till the clock runs out.

Alpine has also filed in District Court alleging that they have (“first-priority security interest in the 2011 membership dues”) over the interests of the Cordillera Golf Course members. (Click Here)......"

SandBoxBlogs: Right Scoop "Obama warns SCOTUS that Medicare payments might stop if Obamacare is overturned"

Dan Cleary:
"The Obama Administration has filed papers with the Supreme Court warning them that Medicare payments are in danger of “freezing up” if Obamacare is overturned.

How low can this President sink? He knows full well that if Obamacare is upheld, Medicare will be gutted to the tune of at least $500 billion. So his signature “achievement” actually accelerates Medicare’s path to bankruptcy. There’s simply no question about it. For Obama to arbitrarily threaten to withhold Medicare payments unless the Supreme Court justices grant him a favorable ruling is despicable – especially since Obamacare’s impact on Medicare has nothing to do with the law’s constitutional merits, or lack thereof. ..."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "The party crasher and partisan paper"

Dave Danforth:
"...Newspaper writers take political positions when they pen editorials. Whether they move minds is dubious, but they often validate at least a few loosely formed opinions. They may — or may not — be better politically informed.

Editorials rarely exclude a candidate simply on the basis of party. It may be widely assumed that the New York Times is more likely to support Democrats or that U-T San Diego, owned by a conservative, will back Republicans. But it’s unusual for writers to put themselves on the record, even on tape, as hopelessly biased before the starting gun sounds.

Nobody is surprised that with owner Doug Manchester in control, U-T San Diego would back a Republican. But it violates more than a few unspoken rules of decorum to declare in public that the deck is stacked before the game begins....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Times "Him talk in Aspen one day"

Stewart Oksenhorn:
"ASPEN — Humorist David Sedaris will make an appearance in Aspen in November. The event, presented by Utah-based Magic Space Entertainment, in partnership with the Aspen Writers' Foundation, is set for Nov. 24 at the Wheeler Opera House.

Sedaris came to prominence in 1992 when NPR broadcast the writer reading his essay “The SantaLand Diaries,” a first-person account of Sedaris' job playing an elf at a Macy's department store. The piece established Sedaris' voice — witty, insightful, self-deprecating tales of his upbringing in North Carolina, his homosexuality, family, travels, drug use and various jobs.

Following the broadcast of “The SantaLand Diaries” — which made him “a minor phenomenon,” according to The New York Times — Sedaris began recording a monthly segment for NPR, and became a frequent contributor to the radio program “This American Life.” In 1994, he published his first book, “Barrel Fever,” a collection of essays and stories....."
