41. Here, in the most vicious, right-wing town in America.

Sun Nov 29, 2015, 12:06 PM

Nov 2015

Remember the bombing of the NAACP office back in January? Yep, that was here too.

This is also the home of the Colorado Springs Gazette. The nastiest, most hate-filled 'newspaper' in America. Now owned by billionaire Phil Anschutz - AKA the third Koch brother. Many editorials kindly provided by AFP.

All those business jets coming & going every day are carrying the leaders of right wing and religionist groups. Endless meetings and team talks to get them all 'on message'.

Oh yeah, and Michelle Malkin lives in Cedar Heights, to the west of the city. I kid you not.

Wish I could afford to move somewhere civilised. This place wears me out.
