• Could the end of the election season make Dan Caplis listenable again?

  During the lead-up to the 2008 election, KHOW radio host Dan Caplis focused all of his considerable intellect on the destruction of Barack Obama -- a mission that caused him to become a shrill caricature of himself. (Check out the June blog "Dan Caplis and His Jihad Against Barack Obama" for a sample.) But last night's program, co-hosted as usual with designated faux-liberal Craig Silverman, served as a reminder that Caplis can be an interesting and worthwhile voice when he doesn't allow his c

• Saggy-Boob Electric Penis: a video montage

  In case you haven't had enough of Westword-christened Saggy Boob Electric Penis, the molten-red glistening pile of suggestive public-art bulbousness that now graces one end of the Highland pedestrian bridge, click below to see a delightful video collage "BunchaHicks," one of our blog commenters, directed us to. It's full of stirring Saggy Boob Electric Penis photos sliding in and out of the frame Ken Burns-style, set to the always-stirring musings of Dan Caplis on the sculpture. What a combinati

• KHOW's Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman have the Ward Churchill trial covered

  KHOW's Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman. Today may really be the day when former University of Colorado-Boulder prof Ward Churchill finally takes the stand in his wrongful-termination suit against the school -- if Churchill attorney David Lane finally tires of excoriating law professor Mimi Wesson, that is. And among the best ways to keep up with developments is to listen to the coverage offered up by KHOW yakkers Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman. The twosome don't offer up strongly contrasting vi

  Photo by Anthony CameraBill Menezes, in a 2006 photo. In "On Watch," a September 2006 Message column, former Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post journalist Bill Menezes explained his mission as head of Colorado Media Matters, the first state-based spin-off from Media Matters, a Washington, D.C. organization. He described CMM as "a progressive research organization that is aimed at reporting and correcting misinformation in the media that promotes a conservative point of view." At around the sam

  Michael Bennet and family with veep Joe Biden. Just as Governor Bill Ritter has undermined his own political future by his handling of various union-related measures, so, too, has Michael Bennet, who Ritter appointed to the U.S. Senate when Ken Salazar moved to President Barack Obama's cabinet, given his reputation as a rising young Democratic party star some serious dents. This morning, Bennet finds himself right where he doesn't want to be -- on the front page of the Denver Post -- due to his

• Dan Caplis has a man-crush on Craig Silverman's upper lip

  Craig Silverman at his most aerodynamic. Despite their (sometimes) divergent opinions on the issues of the day, Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman, who co-host the afternoon-drive slot on KHOW/630 AM, clearly have a great deal of affection for each other. But most listeners probably didn't know just how fond Caplis was of his partner until yesterday, when Silverman showed up sans his mustache, which he's worn for as long as most locals can remember. When Caplis wasn't casting doubts on the sincerit

• Beating Caplis and Silverman in the Ward Churchill debate

  Ward Churchill. Another Ward Churchill court appearance, another opportunity for KHOW talk-show hosts Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman to portray the controversial professor, who yesterday argued for reinstatement to his University of Colorado at Boulder job, as the gray roots of all evil. Kudos, then, to a caller bold enough to present a contrarian view. She argued briefly (because "briefly" was the best she could manage in this forum) that putting Churchill behind a CU podium again would be app

• The appeal of the Ward Churchill verdict

  Yesterday afternoon on KHOW, host Dan Caplis, who's been verbally tarring and feathering former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill for several years now, did a Miss America impression following Judge Larry Naves' decision not to give Churchill his old CU job back, accepting the plaudits of callers with evident self-satisfaction during a figurative victory promenade. Along the way, Caplis noted that he'd bet Churchill attorney David Lane a steak dinner on the outcome of the hearing

• Scott McInnis is getting picked on by even more mean people

  Scott McInnis with Josh Penry, whose candidacy is looking pretty good right now.​Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis came uncorked while defending his allegedly broken pledge to use leftover 2004 campaign funds for breast-cancer research during a Wednesday appearance on the KHOW talk show hosted by Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman. At one point, McInnis even accused Caplis of ganging up on him -- as if Dandy Dan, who's a little to the right of Cardinal Richelieu, has a well-know

  John Hickenlooper and Bill Ritter let their hair down (click to enlarge).​In today's Denver Post, media writer Joanne Ostrow takes on the September cover of Denver Magazine, in which Channel 31 stars Libby Weaver and Natalie Tysdal are transformed from anchors to shank-ers. After spotlighting quotes from Weaver and station exec Carolyn Kane shrugging off any scent of controversy over the couples' quasi-salacious pose, Ostrow essentially suggests that, given the difficulties the TV industry

• Scott McInnis spokesman Sean Duffy about the "extraordinary double standard" used against his candidate

  Sean Duffy.​Got a call moments ago from Sean Duffy, spokesman for Scott McInnis' gubernatorial campaign, responding to a post about what I consider to be the candidate's two latest mistakes: complaining in writing about an impending Republican Party straw poll that he could well lose and then declining to attend the gathering at which the survey will take place. During the subsequent conversation, Duffy not only defended these moves, but he also discussed other perceived McInnis gaffes to
