Let’s sing it together:  Hey Big Spender!  I doubt Bob Fosse ever dreamed of this version of his famous Broadway number.  Face the State has done it again with a hysterical (and brutally honest) assessment of how Colorado will fare under Barack Obama’s massive spending package.  Beware:  this cartoon depiction of Governor Bill Ritter is not easy on the eyes!

Despite all Obama’s attention to and courting of Colorado, the state ended up 49th in stimulus aid and tax relief according to the Rocky Mountain News.

How does my local paper respond? With all the strength of a wet newspaper.  It is “disappointed.” But it goes on to say, referring to the pessimism that hangs over the economy,  ”that’s not what we need. We need to believe, to hope, to dream and to see a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Well I’ll admit it.  I’m pessimistic.  I don’t see a “light at the end of the tunnel.” I see nothing but economic stagnation, and I’m mad as hell!   Time to attend a tea party!
