The Proper Care and Feeding of Politicians

When the puppy does the trick, the puppy gets a treat. The training of most politicians is no different.

Third District Rep. John Salazar last week went out and made his annual show of cutting-off funding for any study of Fort Carson expansion, declaring that it will never happen while he's in Congress. And for performing this annual trick he gets a treat: a nice pat on the head from the editorial page of The Pueblo Chieftain, whose guiding philosophy on this and all other issues is that if it can benefit Colorado Springs, it must be bad.

Atta boy, Fido. Now lay down and roll over.
