Colorado gubernatorial candidate front-runner Dan Maes thinks bicycling is a UN plot:
Maes said in a later interview that he once thought the mayor's efforts to promote cycling and other environmental initiatives were harmless and well-meaning. Now he realizes "that's exactly the attitude they want you to have."
"This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms," Maes said.
He added: "These aren't just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor. These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this United Nations program that mayors have signed on to."
When did politics turn into a sad parody of wacko AM talk radio?

Probably about the time the second politician got into politics, since with just one, there's no
opponent to need smearing.

I heard that Larry Page likes to ride his bicycle from Moffat Field to Google HQ
after landing the Google 767. There's proof that Google's gone evil.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
