• The new math behind Denver Health response times

  Time is of the essence at Denver Health. The Denver City Council's finance committee yesterday approved a one-year, $51.9 million operating agreement with the Denver Health and Hospital Authority -- with one significant change over the previous contract: Denver Health has agreed to peg ambulance response times to when an emergency call comes in. As Jared Jacang Maher reported five months ago in "Delayed Emergency Response," Denver Health had been calculating response times from when an amb

• More complaints about new Denver Police Department reporting system

  In the February Message column "Denver Police Reports Harder to Get Under New System," representatives of the Denver Police Department insisted that the approach to digitizing incident reports, as opposed to making copies available in a press room, would be more useful and convenient for media and law enforcement alike. But plenty of reporters disagree. "Readers Kept in Dark?," a piece by reporter Peter Marcus that appears in today's Denver Daily News, notes that shortly after the Democratic Nat

• Video: Beer Nutz geeks geek out in Denver

  I never knew about the short-lived show Beer Nutz, mostly because I haven't had cable in ten years and it played on something called HDNet (is that the Hot Dog Network?). But I am very familiar with local microbrew establishments. And though the two hosts of Beer Nutz look and act like the guys from the children's show The Wiggles -- only with pint glasses instead of guitars -- they do a thorough job in the video below of showcasing such Denver institutions as the Bull and Bush, Falling Rock T

• Denver no longer has to wonder: What Would Molly Brown Tweet?

  Historical Tweets, a website that imagines what historical figures -- from George Washington to Urkel -- would have tweeted on Twitter, recently waded into familiar territory with the above offering between El Capitano and Denver's Molly Brown. So one burning question has been answered. But here's another: What Would DIA's Blue Mustang Tweet? Those seeking clues can check out Joel Warner's blog "DIA Promo Photo Kicks Ass of All Other Airport Promo Photos" and Jared Jacang Maher's blog "Don't

• A time-lapse video of the 2008 Westword Music Showcase

  Okay, so this might be the coolest Westword Music Showcase-related item we've ever come across. It's getting to be that time of year again where we start gearing up for another edition of the annual summertime local music extravaganza, which probably accounts for how our colleague Jared Jacang Maher came across this cool YouTube video. The clip, put together by area resident Kim Sidwell, whose living space is adjacent to the lot on 12th and Acoma where the Showcase's mainstage is located, was sh

• SAME Cafe: How much do people pay?

  J. KnightCustomer Jennifer had a slice of pizza, a small soup and a cookie. But how much did she pay? In this week's Westword, Jared Jacang Maher reports on SAME Cafe, the non-profit eatery on East Colfax that lets customers pay what they want (or can). In a related slide show, Maher, with help from photographer J. Knight, shows what recent SAME customers chose to pay for their meals.

• Mile Haiku: Video from the Blue Mustang poetry reading

  Almost a hundred people piled into the Denver Public Library basement on Monday to write, read and hear poetry inspired by DIA's Blue Mustang. Organized by Westword, the event... happened. We think it was a success, but we don't plan many poetry slams, so it's hard to say. Anyway, a few of the poems were captured by our own Jared Jacang Maher, and you can hear them above. The first, local cool guy Jared Berger (aka Ofosho), won over the crowd and took home the top honors. Our favorite is the

• Score one for medical marijuana: Health board rejects restrictions

  After 12-plus hours of testimony, the state health board on Monday rejected a key restriction on medical marijuana dispensaries -- a rule that would have limited them to five patients each. You have to imagine this was the most attention ever heaped on the health board, which played host to hundreds of whooping supporters of the state's booming medical-pot industry. See photos and read a blow-by-blow rundown of the hearing in yesterday's live blog, penned by Melanie Asmar and Jared Jacang Maher

  Tom Martino: He's always good for a laugh. Apparently concerned about a recent Jared Jacang Maher article about connections between him and a multi-level marketing company he'd promoted on Martino TV and his KHOW radio show, the self-proclaimed Troubleshooter had an associate call in a phony tip in order to lure Maher to a meeting last week at an area McDonald's. There, Martino and a cameraman attempted to ambush Maher, who simply drove away from the madness. Foiled in this effort to put Maher

• Vandalism at the Colorado Democratic Party HQ: The story gets even dumber

  A Colorado Democratic Party photo of damage at its Santa Fe headquarters.​"Is Alleged Colorado Democratic Party Headquarters Window-Smasher Maurice Schwenkler a LIBERAL Activist?," a Jared Jacang Maher blog published yesterday, pinpointed some contradictions in a story that was originally framed as an example of anti-healthcare-reform loonies on a spree. Schwenkler, it seems, had received payment last November for election work on behalf of a progressive 527 group whose donors included sup

So it's only natural that Conspiracy Theory, a new TruTV show hosted by none other than former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, should cast its suspicious gaze in the airport's direction for an upcoming episode.
