TIME FOR A "ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH"

It's a good thing that the state Legislature tabled debate on an Iraq
War resolution so it can focus on more important things-like
Colorado's state song. Earlier this week, both the state Senate and
House passed legislation that would make John Denver's "Rocky
Mountain High" Colorado's second state song, the first of which is
"Where the Columbines Grow."

State senators and representatives actually spent time debating
whether a "rocky mountain high" was natural or drug-induced. One
representative even tried to amend the resolution to point out that
Rocky Mountain High "reflects Colorado's high elevation and in no way
reflects or encourages any drug abuse."

Can you hear your tax dollars flushing down the drain yet?

Ironically, after members of the state Legislature discussed the
genesis of "Rocky Mountain High" ad nauseum, they slowly wandered
away from the Capitol and visited two gas stations and a Burger King.
Coincidence? We think not.
