A letter to the editor in last week's Colorado Springs Independent gave rise to the possibility that armed, uniformed soldiers are now helping the CS police keep order downtown when the bars close. See the letter here. They have been having lots of trouble down there in the late/early hours with all the drunkards, but sheesh, even for a city as intolerant and backwards as CSCO this is really crossing the line. It's also unconstitutional, but that's not too big a deal in these parts. Hopefully the cat who wrote the letter was just real hammered and saw CQ picking up some drunk joes. I've written before on how that area of town sucks ass and I do all I can to stay away, have any of my yuppie friends seen any joes down there?

FYI, uniformed military police would have no jurisdiction whatsoever over a civilian not on a military base (I'll probably be put on W's terrorist watch list for pointing that out). That can be changed by presidential order during a national emergency, but even though last call sucks I still don't think it requires the military partolling our streets.

In other depressing downtown news, the humpty-dumpty statue that Net once puked on during a Kimchi hash isn't there anymore. Stolen? Who knows. Maybe it'll end up in somebody's front yard soon...
