• You have the right to remain a Shmuck

  Traffic sucks, and as Colorado grows, it just seems to get worse and worse. Some people leave earlier to deal with the jams, or move closer to their offices. Others pick up their bicycles or take the bus. Still others speed, run red lights, curse their fellow drivers or silently stew, bringing on early heart trouble. Justin Davis has been accused by police of dealing with traffic in whole new, and very illegal way. On Tuesday, Boulder County Sheriff's deputies arrested Davis and accused him o

• The Rocky's Vince Carroll joins the Jared Polis fan club

  Who'da thunk that liberal Democratic congressman-elect Jared Polis could make conservative Rocky Mountain News editorial-page editor Vince Carroll gush as he does in today's column "Polis Off to Great Start"? Apparently only Carroll himself, who writes, "More than a year ago, I suggested that Polis would prove to be a far more independent member of Congress than the Democratic front-runner at the time, former state Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald. But I hardly expected him to prove it before h

• Help Christmas light-smashing Hulk win a year of KFC

  Update: As an eagle-eyed blog commentor pointed out, the voting for the KFC contest ended yesterday and the winner has already been announced. Turns out we were so awed by the Hulk's majestic green majesty we just plain screwed up. The good news is that our man Komarnitsky won the contest anyway, so here's to a year's supply of chicken wings for the big green guy. Loyal readers will know we have a fondness for local man Alek Komarnitsky and his ginormous inflatable Hulk doll, not to mention hi

• Pulcinella: Another closed call?

  The last time I was in Pulcinella, the downtown Denver outpost of a homegrown chain of Italian eateries, it was to try the special holiday cocktail -- a concoction just as sweet as the restaurant's cozy little bar area. But when I popped by last night, at prime dinner time, the door was locked and the dining room dark; a call to the restaurant went to voicemail. According to the Pulcinella web site, the location is still open, with another in Lafayette, a new restaurant in Fort Collins coming so

• Veggie Girl: Moongate Asian Grill

  When I have a craving for sesame tofu, I head to the one restaurant that I know gets it absolutely right: Moongate Asian Grill, at 745 Quebec Street. Moongate cooks up a variety of Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, with an extensive vegetarian selection -- but I end up ordering the sesame tofu ($7.25 for dinner) every time. And I have yet to be disappointed by fried tofu, which is always silky and soft in the middle, crispy on the outside, and covered with a sauce that's a nice

• Here's something those new CU cops can do with their time

  ​With students returning to the University of Colorado at Boulder campus for the fall semester, the Boulder Police Department is stepping up DUI patrols -- and the CU cops will be out in greater force, too. The university department has added six more officers as part of an overall plan to reduce crime on campus. Meanwhile, the BPD is ballyhooing a bust not far from the school, during which a cop riding a bike on the Boulder Creek path stumbled on a robbery in progress, leading to the arre

• The Cannabis Therapy Institute's open letter to Colorado officials

  The logo of the Cannabis Therapy Institute.​The Cannabis Therapy Institute, an organization "dedicated to helping patients achieve a better quality of life with cannabis," may have an Iowa phone number, but it's been very involved of late with pot issues in Colorado. Its "About Us" page notes, "Recently, our advocates helped secure a victory for Jason Lauve, a Boulder County Medical patient who was being prosecuted for having 'too much' medical cannabis. The jury acquitted him on the groun

On Friday, Ferris was adopted into a good home, and later

• Meanings of banned jelly bracelets: Is silver a hand job, fisting or outdoor sex?

  Here's a girl who's ready for just about anything.​The principal at Lafayette's Angevine Middle School has reportedly asked parents to urge their kids not to wear colored jelly bracelets to class -- and those who do will be asked to remove them. The reason: The colors are said to denote assorted sex acts, and if they break, the wearer is supposed to perform them on the lucky snapper. But what means what? The Urban Dictionary passes along plenty of contradictory information on its jelly bra

• Cannabis Therapy Institute offers framework for dispensary regulations

  ​Last night, city councils at localities throughout the state, including Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville and Thornton, discussed the issue of medical-marijuana dispensaries at city council meetings. In Durango, for instance, officials approved preliminary tweaks in regulations, setting hours of operation and forbidding such businesses to locate in residential neighborhoods. Against this backdrop, the Cannabis Therapy Institute, one of the state's most vigorous medical-marijuana advocacy g
