Post (((Hearts))) Jonathon Coors

Andy Young of the Denver Post has a slobbering profile of the Amendment 47 Work for Less backer Jonathon Coors in this mornings paper. It's a puff piece of the type usually reserved for a professional athlete or a musician, not for a spoiled rich child hell bent on destroying Colorado's economy.

You see, Young explains, Coors is driven by principle. Nothing else matters. Whatever the ends are, whatever the means are - so long as you are driven by principle none of that matters. The consequences for the state? Principle. The consequences for Colorado's working and middle-class? Principle.

It's a nauseating read. Devoid of analysis or any attempt to inform or educate the reader on the subject at hand. Don't worry your pretty little minds, Jonathon Coors is driven by principle!

That this article should appear in the paper of the virulently anti-Union Dean Singleton should surprise exactly no one.
