The space aliens/Illuminati must be having a meeting in the basement.

No. They cancelled that meeting due to snow. Only half our members have access to the secret base via underground tunnel...

According to Cruz and his GOPe buddies it is Trump’s fault.

Starting in April, you can take the light rail to DIA. That only took 20 years.

Are you guys having some sort of contest to see who can turn the most unrelated, most obscure, most inane thing in to an attack on Cruz?

You really should come up for air.

Give ‘em a break. As Don Imus once noted, they built DIA in neighboring Kansas.

"Is this George Bush's fault or is it global warming? "

They named the previously unknown fault that caused the earthquake in Haiti "Bush's Fault":). Here in the mountains west of Denver we got a bit over 2 ft of snow today. I am just taking a break from shoveling the driveway right now.

I am a delivery driver in Metro Denver. Temps just below freezing. The wet moist snow took on the consistency of ice. And with 12 inches at 11:00 am it caused the roads to be useless and the parking spaces to be prison traps. Unless you had 4 wheel drive. Those with front wheel drive were stuck in frozen slick slush. It was 73 degrees Tuesday. Drifts were easily 15 inches. Got to get all wheel drive.

Off topic, sure. But it involves an airline, an unruly passenger, and someone who was taken off the plane for a "medical emergency", not by EMTs, but by the police.

Tomorrow, it will be gone. Even now it is clearing up.

Half of it will be gone in 18 hrs. Black ice at night will cause lots of problems. Those who drive rapidly 30 hrs from now will probably slide.

I once saw a Colorado Spring day that went from clear blue sky, flowers blooming, birds singing, to snow, in about an hour.

Amusingly, it was a little north of Colorado Springs.

My brother was hired as Asst Airport Manager when the first guy failed to get the baggage system working. He was required to live within the Denver City limits, and had to commute 26 miles to work.

He finally retired a couple of years ago, but still lives in Denver. He posted a pic on FB this morning that showed DEEP snow! I would post it, but the linky no worky!

Here's a news pic!

I agree I’m sick of every thread having Trump and Cruz thrown in. I’m for Cruz and will not change unless Trump wins in which case I will most likely vote Trump. I don’t think many minds will change at this point.

Cruz wants to ensure the GOPe stays intact. Great for him and you if you support him. As for me I said once Trump entered the race we had a chance of changing the Republican Party from within. I am afraid too many have bought into Cruz who has sold out and will never be able to accomplish anything except allowing the Uniparty to stay intact.

And all that has, precisely, what to do with the Denver airport closing?

Get. A. Grip.

Obama has already started to reverse global warming. We should be grateful. This is is probably due to his signing of the climate MOU.

Anything that goes wrong Cruz and the GOPe blame on Trump. Therefore the closing of the Denver airport has to be Trump’s fault, just like Obama blamed everything on Bush.

Get. A. Brain.
