Wash Bar banning Greeley Residents

Not sure how I missed this one, but it’s a doozy. Washington’s Sports Bar and Grill – a long time favorite in downtown Fort Collins is banning Greeley residents on Saturday night. This is to solve their gang problems.

There’s always been tension between Greeley and Fort Collins, highlighting the worst stereotypes. People in Greeley are lower-class cowhands; people in Fort Collins are snooty. And so on. The latest dust-up came when brothers Jason and Shane Jackson of Greeley went for a night on the town in Fort Fun, hitting Washington’s Sports Bar and Grill, according to the Greeley Tribune.

Once at the door, they were turned away by a bouncer, citing problems with gang members from Greeley and Evans. The Jacksons are far from being gang members, but the bouncer made no exceptions, leaving Mike Peters at the Tribune fuming.

According to an article in the Coloradoan the policy is working and the number of fights at the Wash are down.

Ballistic missiles are about as passe as e-mail

I love it when we see government and military officials make ridiculously absurd statements. In an article today on the obsolescence of the US missle defence system. In it he compares the out-datedness of ballistic missles with that of e-mail.

Marine General James Cartwright told an audience invested in missile-defense that the bad guys have already abandoned the notion of shooting ballistic missiles toward the United States. “Ballistic missiles are about as passe as e-mail,” said Cartwright, who before becoming the nation’s No. 2 military officer headed U.S. Strategic Command, which grapples with these issues. “Nobody does it anymore. Okay? It’s just gone.”

So nobody sends e-mail anymore? e-mail is passe? Wow, somebody should have told the thousands of people that e-mail me every day. I’m glad General Cartwright let me know – I might have continued to use it.

Fortunately, now we all know, so throw away those Blackberry’s, cancel your Gmail account and stop living in the past.
