White on White

So what really happened to Frosty and Frank?

White seems happier, too -- or at least as happy as a woman who just sees her husband on weekends can be: "To only live as a married woman two days a week completely sucks," she says. It took a while, but she feels that "Danny and I have really jelled." Yet some issues from the past remain, especially in relation to Stillwell.

"I'm in touch with Frank; his golf game is getting really good," she says. "And when I called him to tell him what happened, he was really cool about it. He was like, this happens, it's not your fault, and we talked and it was fine. But do you know that Frosty never called me back? Never. And in a horrible way, I'm pissed off inside that I ever stood up for him. I shouldn't be, because what happened was so bad. But that he never called me back after we'd been together for six years was so awful. That's just a prime example of how we were never friends."

Which is more confusing: politics or journalism? The item below suggests that it's too close to call.

In the January 26 Denver Post, a chart concerning HB 1245, a bill in the Colorado House of Representatives that would have banned guns in schools, got the votes of various committee members precisely backward: The officials who had voted for a motion to kill the measure were marked down as having been in favor of passing it. Representative Mark Paschall, a Republican from Arvada who calls himself "one of the strongest Second Amendment advocates at the Capitol," says, "We got all kinds of e-mails saying, 'What in the world are you doing?'"

To its credit, the Post printed a correction in its January 27 edition. But the blurb, though technically accurate, was so puzzlingly written that plenty of constituents thought it was wrong again -- and so, initially, did Paschall. In other words, don't believe what you read unless you can understand it. And maybe not even then.

On Denver TV newscasts, a frequent problem isn't figuring out the news -- it's finding it. Example: Several local stations reported on commercials due to appear during the January 30 Super Bowl broadcast by playing a number of them practically in their entirety. Since advertisers paid record rates to be part of the Bowl extravaganza, maybe news directors were hoping to get a piece of the action.

Meanwhile, the folks over at radio station AM-950/The Fan came up with an amusing way to help Broncos boosters deal with Super Bowl withdrawal: They broadcast last year's game, which the Broncs won, prior to this year's model. But the apparent homage to Orson Welles's version of War of the Worlds must not have been a ratings blockbuster; otherwise, there probably would have been another riot in Larimer Square. After all, the third time's a charm.
