Denver is a city that will be far more defined by its future than its past.

The most important thing a mayor does is hire talented people to run the city.

I would argue that's because we had a bunch of smart people running around here. They were coming in and working very hard and many of them had left jobs in which they made significantly more money.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

I decided to set out to prove that you could make a reasonable living building for the poor using recycled materials and only hiring unskilled labor.
