Weird things happen in Boulder Colorado — it has a gorilla run to support apes in Uganda, locals dash around naked wearing pumpkin heads Halloween night (sorry, not offering up a link) and let’s just say 4/20 is the locals’ favorite date.

Despite the city’s liberal background, students at the University of Colorado Boulder on Tuesday blamed President Obama and Democrats more than the GOP for the partial government shutdown.

“Everybody is blaming Obama and the Democrats, is this normal?” Caleb Bonham of Campus Reform asked after several undergraduates quickly identified the culprit.

“Um, no I don’t think so but I’m glad,” a student responded.

Fifty-three percent of adults blamed Republicans in Congress for the shutdown, according to an NBC and Wall Street Journal poll. Only 31 percent accused President Obama.

Ironic, isn’t it? Young liberals living in the fourth best city for hippies are crowning Obama King of the shutdown.

They’re just worried they won’t be getting their student loans.

We just might be saved by the kids. They are seeing that things don’t always make sense and still know how to look things up.

“Kids” fall for one thing, primarily -

“all the SMART people are liberal, how about you?”

SMART

I don’t know what that word means anymore. I am just an old worn out conservative that is getting forgetful.

Buckeye has it right.

These are red-diaper babies and joiners. They have been told all their lives “Democrats good republicans bad”, and voting for Odinga is hip and cool and will get you laid by hipster chicks. And they brag and gloat about voting four times in the same day for Odinga.

Don’t trust anyone under thirty.

Yes, everyone in Colorado is stoned now and incapable of rational thought. As a matter of fact I was just down in the basement harvesting some incredible Ganja. Wish you were here.:)
