Governor Bill Owens fled the state again recently, this time to D.C. to campaign with neocons for the '08 Republican nomination for President. (This was announced by the 27 year-old, $55k per annum aide Owens planted a while back in Jeb Bush's office in D.C.)

Now anyone who lives in Colorado knows that Owens is a mild-mannered do-nothing puppet of the extreme right -- which is exactly what's recommending him to neocons like Grover Norquist ("bipartisanship is date rape!") and Paul Weyrich, who are busy lining up bucks for the post-Bush (in their view that means '08, of course) era.

Owens has also announced that he intends to use his new 'think tank' (oxymoron alert!), the imperialist-sounding Center for the New American Century (remember the one funded by the admission charge to his Inaugural Ball?) as a 'rapid response center', which means an attack post for neocon positions spewing forth from Colorado. (Watch for more on this organization)

I'll post regularly on Bill's wanderings; earlier sightings are here and in my published letter to the News here ....
