- Tampa socialite fighting back in Petraeus scandal
- November 27, 2012
- A Tampa socialite embroiled in the scandal that cost CIA Director David Petraeus his job fought back Tuesday after more than two weeks of silence as her attorneys released emails, telephone recordings and other material that they say show she never tried to exploit her friendship with Petraeus. Jill Kelley, through her attorneys, went on the attack against a New York businessman who accused her of incompetence in her work trying to set up a deal he was negotiating with South Korean companies; an attorney who accused her of name-dropping and of being a social climber; and the FBI agent who first leaked her name in connection with the Petraeus scandal. Kelley, 37, became the focus of national media attention earlier this month after it was revealed that she was the recipient of anonymous emails from Paula Broadwell, Petraeus’ biographer and mistress. Broadwell allegedly told Kelley she should stay away from the former general and Gen. John Allen, who had replaced Petraeus as leader of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Petraeus and Allen had become friends with Kelley and her husband, Scott Kelley, a noted cancer surgeon, when the generals served at U.S. Central Command, which is headquartered at Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base. Kelley became an unofficial social ambassador for the base, hosting numerous parties for the officers.

- Dick Prosence: A letter to Sen. Bennet
- November 27, 2012
- Thank you for your response to my expression of concern over the problem with illegal immigrants residing in our country. A bipartisan solution is important for the wellbeing of the country. I am personally in favor of a regulated guest worker program after making it less inviting for illegals to come here by levying heavy fines to employers who hire without proper documentation. Without jobs, the incentive to invade us will be less compelling. I will be watching the Sunday Denver Post to see how you vote on this issue.
- 25 Shades of Craig: Choices
- November 27, 2012
- Have you ever taken a minute to evaluate what kind of person you are? Do you kick someone when they are down, or do you offer them a hand to help them up? Do you judge someone on their past or look at who they are now? Do you treat others disrespectfully? Do your family and friends treat you with less respect than they would give a stranger? We all say we don’t care what others think about us and the decisions we make. But honestly, deep down inside, we do. It is human nature and it is easier to deny, make excuses, or run and hide then it is to stand up and face the truth.

- Denver Post Editorial: A plan to preserve Thompson Divide
- November 27, 2012
- Faced with the prospect of natural gas drilling on public land that has significant environmental, agricultural and recreational value, a group on the Western Slope has come up with a novel way to take on energy development in the Thompson Divide area near Carbondale. Rather than fight it out in court, the Thompson Divide Coalition is attempting first to buy the leases from would-be energy developers. The coalition represents a broad array of interest groups from the Roaring Fork Valley, including ranchers, environmentalists, outdoor users and local governments. They are pursuing a practical — and laudable — approach to balancing the sometimes competing interests of energy production and land preservation, and we’d like to see it succeed. The group was born out of concern with how 61 federal leases to drill on more than 200,000 acres in the White River National Forest would change what the coalition calls “one of the last great swaths of mid-elevation forest in Colorado.” The area is a key migration corridor for wildlife, consists of important watersheds and grazing allotments, and is loved by outdoor recreationists.
