• Former enemies Penny Parker and Bill Husted finding ways to co-exist at the Denver Post

  Penny Parker, who's back at the Denver Post. The February 26 announcement that the Rocky Mountain News would close was accompanied by word that the Denver Post had hired a handful of Rocky notables. This move was a positive development for readers, as well as for the staffers in question -- but combining these forces can present internal challenges. Case in point: Penny Parker's addition to the Post roster. Parker actually worked for the Post from 1993 to 1999 prior to being snapped up by the

• Eat your words, Bill Husted

  In today's Denver Post, Bill Husted writes about Jason Sheehan's upcoming book, Cooking Dirty: A Story of Life, Sex, Love and Death in the Kitchen, and quotes from a negative (and very entertaining) review published last week in the Los Angeles Times by that paper's food writer, Russ Parsons. "You probably won't read this in Sheehan's column," Husted avers. Maybe not. But that's because Sheehan already wrote about it right here on this blog the day the L.A.Times review came out.

  And who, you may ask, is the handsome devil right there?  That's me, folks. No bullshit. No disguises.  The anonymous restaurant critic in the flesh and en clair. On Monday, June 15, at around 4 p.m. local time, my cover was finally, permanently blown.  That picture is the jacket photo from my book, Cooking Dirty, which was pulled and made public by fellow food critic Laura Reiley from the St. Petersburg Times -- run alongside a piece she wrote about the book (which she liked) and

• Post Greg Moore: Denver is easier than it is smart

  A glamour shot of Denver Post editor Greg Moore by staffer Hyoung Chang accompanied his sit-down with Bill Husted. The Denver Post's staff is still buzzing about Bill Husted's interview with editor Greg Moore as part of the columnist's weekly Bar & Grilled feature, and no wonder. Unlike, say, former Rocky Mountain News editor John Temple, Moore has never seemed that interested in pushing himself into his own pages -- so to suddenly okay devoting a hefty block of space to such topics as his iPod

• Denver Post doesn't get Elway the dog's tombstone quite right

  I can't help feeling responsible for an error in Denver Post columnist Bill Husted's June 21 offering about the death of Elway, a legendary drug-sniffing police dog for the San Francisco Police Department. To accompany a June 10 blog about the pooch's demise, I created a faux-gravestone using a web application called Tombstone Generator. Give it a try; it's fun. Trouble is, Husted apparently assumed that my concoction was the real thing, writing: "Elway the Dog has a tombstone with the inscrip

• Denver Post not exactly racing to correct Elway the dog tombstone gaffe

  A bogus gravestone for Elway the dog made using the Tombstone Generator website. Over the years, the Denver Post hasn't always displayed great enthusiasm for correcting mistakes -- and an item in a June 21 Bill Husted column suggests that the tradition continues. The piece stated that a drug-sniffing San Francisco police dog named Elway will rest eternally under a gravestone reading, "ELWAY, 1995-2009, MAY YOU FOREVER DRINK FROM YOUR OWN SUPER BOWL." Truth is, I wrote this epitaph for a June 10

  A photo of Lakeside from the park's website. Anyone who's ever ridden the Cyclone at Lakeside Amusement Park can testify to the terror it produces. Sure, other roller coasters boast bigger vertical drops or more severe twists and turns. But the Cyclone, whose cars zip along a vintage wooden track, produced more dread than the vast majority because it always seemed on the verge of complete collapse. And that's not a recent phenomenon. The thing's rattled and shaken in a seemingly dangerous way f

  Lesley Kennedy. Until recently, Lesley Kennedy, a founding partner of the new Denveralamode.com website, served as fashion editor and deputy features editor for the Rocky Mountain News, earning a reputation for stylishness and accessibility during her nine years at the tabloid. But this experience didn't help her land another newspaper gig when the Rocky shut down in February amid the worst print-journalism job market in living memory -- and Joe Mahoney, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning photog
