Aspen Beetle Haters: Fight the Power!
No. No. No. No. No.
People who want to stop the beetles from destroying the forests of Aspen first have to fight a pest even bigger and more obnoxious. More determined. Maybe even smarter: Environmentalists.
So let’s start with a reality check:
1) Enviros are crazy.
2) Enviros in and out of Aspen are controlling what happens to the beetles.
Aspen Greens Turn a Lighter Shade of Pale.
You are an environmental group. You hate carbon footprints. At least from other people. You hate even more when punk-ass bloggers stomp on the carbon footprints that come from all the fossil fuel you burn whenever you travel to far away places to meet with your environmental buddies to complain about other folks creating carbon footprints.
To quote the great philosopher Karl Malden: “What will you do? What … will … you … do?”

Clout goes
Since 2005, about 800 undergraduate students have landed on the clout list for the Urbana-Champaign campus.

For the 2008-09 school year, for example, about 77 percent were accepted, compared with 69 percent of all applicants.

Hunter Thompson: Aspen Enough!
Hunter Thompson is dead. He killed himself 40 years ago when he figured out it was a lot easier being a circus clown with a typewriter, a bottle of bourbon and some drugs instead of being a writer. It just took a while.
So it is time for Aspen and everywhere else to give it a rest.
How many more people do we need to make the Thompson-inspired drunken/doped-up trudge to Woody’s before we all figure out he was just a drug addict with nothing more to say than ‘watch me as I get high.’
