Hatred, jealousy, and bigotry alive and well on the Longmont Left

From the cluttered desk of the editor...
Again, welcome to Longmont Politics.  And by the traffic numbers both on this site and the downloads of the KRCN 1060AM radio show we've been on, we're off to a great start.  By design, this site links to Longmont related political stories mostly from other sources.  But occasionally we'll throw in some opinion of our own.  Like this.
