If you are into raping or looting or arson or jewel thievery or what have you, might we suggest you ply your trade in Colorado Springs, CO? Due to that municipality's distaste for taxes, "More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark Monday. The police helicopters are for sale on the Internet. The city is dumping firefighting jobs, a vice team, burglary investigators, beat cops – dozens of police and fire positions will go unfilled." On the negative side of the ledger, the parks and pools are all going to fall to shit, so your recreational activities will be somewhat curtailed, but you'll probably be too busy with the rape, looting, arson, and jewel thievery to notice!
No, no. That place is like Promise Keeper central. Those guys would never ever rape or loot or thieve. Certainly not rape, no.
You never know what Ted Haggard is capable of if he doesn't get his meth fix. Colorado Springs is also the home of Focus on the Family and many other evangelical groups. Compassionate conservatism at its best!
I thought Colorado City was actually in Missouri
No, Mexico is in Missouri. Colorado City is in Arizona.
They're both in Kansas City – BUT WHICH ONE!?!?
CoCiCO – love it!
Oh dear God. And here I thought when the developers in NE DC tried to sell us on "NoMa" it had gotten completely out of hand.
Gross. There used to be (still maybe?) an eatery called BeDuCi (Below Dup.Circle) which always irked me.
Ew no! If that place is still there I am glad I don't know about it because I would throw things at it!
It's actually Colorado Springs, but the only reason I knew that is because I stole a copy of the Denver Post.
Colorado Springs! As in the home of NORAD and Focus on the Family and the Air Force Academy and my great aunt Eula.
No distaste for graduating evangelical Air Force officers!
As a CO resident, I have no issues with Colorado Springs falling off the map. Buh bye.
As a fellow Colorado resident, a comment on the Denver Post sums up my thoughts nicely:
Colorado Springs turning into an uninhabitable moonscape as a result of its own myopic, ideological zeal isn't quite as desirable as the earth suddenly opening up and swallowing the entire city into its fiery core, returning the area to its former splendor without a single, noxious trace of the city's present blight, but it's an acceptable substitute, I guess.
Sorry, it has been that kind of day.

So if you want to be a cowboy bandit now is the time.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call Colorado Springs. Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Locals call it "The Springs".
I once did a story for a major network, from deep in the bowels of NORAD. That place is fairly amazing, built into the side of a mountain, with giant steel doors that swing shut behind you. Very impressive.
Less impressive was my story….an interview with Jesse McCarthy and some military brass about the Santa Tracker.
Love some of the wild conspiracy theories scrawled at the bottom of the Post article. Seems there was a homosexual-liberal plot to fund…gay partners? That many of the conservative officials in Colorado Springs are actually liberals in disguise? That simply because the government has less money, doesn't mean they have to cut government spending? Yikes. Just…wow. The average conservative mental residency is actually La-La Land. And to think it will be this way even to the point that C.Springs collapses in a poorly lit heap of rust, trash, and weeds. In their minds, it will always have been the fault of "liberal fags". Literally.
