Last year, we shared multiple reports about the murder of Aspen socialite Nancy Pfister. Three people were arrested for the crime: William Styler, a former Denver-area doctor, his wife, Nancy Styler, and ex-bank employee Katharine Carpenter. However, only William Styler was convicted, despite an affidavit suggesting that he would have…
Our post about a new lawsuit against Colorado’s marijuana laws by a number of sheriffs in the state prompted a blizzard of Facebook comments. Most of them took the law-enforcers to task, although the reasons varied widely. This reader is baffled as to why the plaintiffs wouldn’t be celebrating Colorado’s laws,…
Denver blog posts like to serve themselves. At our Food & Restaurants blog, Mark Antonation previews First Draft, slated to be Denver’s first self-service beer bar. Mile High Report’s Jon Heath tells a tale of Twitter confusion involving the Denver’s Brandon Marshall, Chicago’s Brandon Marshall, and confused Bears fans on…
Earlier this week, we shared some jarringly homophobic remarks offered up by Gordon Klingenschmitt, a recently elected member of Colorado’s House of Representatives. But Klingenschmitt is hardly the only person publicly peddling gay hatred. Witness conservative-Christian-speaker David Barton, who recently visited a Colorado college to share “wisdom” like this: God won’t…
We’re currently in the midst of National Consumer Protection Week, described as “a coordinated campaign that encourages consumers nationwide to take full advantage of their consumer rights and make better-informed decisions.” To mark the occasion, the consumer protection section of the Colorado Attorney General’s Office has released its annual list…
Last October, we told you about the arrest of Brandon Hansen, who was accused of surreptitiously taking videos of naked women in tanning booths. Additionally, he allegedly spent a full day grabbing up-skirt footage at a Denver Pavilions escalator. Now, Hansen has reportedly pleaded guilty to forty charges that had been…
One of the long-held claims about Major League Baseball is that fans of every team are filled with hope during Spring Training. Unfortunately, the Colorado Rockies, whose Spring Training schedule got underway this week, put the lie to this theory. Even though the team finally fired general manager Dan O’Dowd after…

When we shared our most recent post about State Representative Gordon Klingenschmitt, who recently said gays have lost their soul and suggested that a man killed three young Muslims because they think like Christians, we asked readers how they feel Colorado looks to people around the country after the election…
Peyton Manning has reportedly agreed to take a $4 million pay cut to play for the Broncos this season. The ostensible reason is to free up more cash to pay free agents. But there’s no denying that Manning’s performance was significantly worse this past season as compared to the one before,…
We’ve all done it — gone up to a vehicle in a parking lot that looked like ours only to discover it was actually someone else’s. In general, though, we don’t get stabbed for making this mistake. That’s apparently what happened to a customer of a strip club in Grand…
It’s become a trend to file a lawsuit in an attempt to dismantle Colorado’s marijuana laws. First came the states of Nebraska and Oklahoma, which filed a complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court in December. Then, last month, the Washington, D.C.-based Safe Streets Alliance filed two lawsuits on behalf of…
Chuck Limbrick makes a cameo appearance in Dietrick Mitchell’s Life Sentence Was Commuted Four Years Ago — So Why Is He Still in Prison?, Alan Prendergast’s recent feature article. Like Mitchell, Limbrick had been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole — for, in the latter’s case, killing his…
Last week, we shared a list of the ten best places in Colorado to live according to the Movoto blog. But unfortunately, not everyone can come out at or near the top. The site ranked 74 Colorado communities, and the the ones that ranked among the bottom ten include some…
As a lot of us know from personal experience, working at a fast-food restaurant can be dull. Even so, there are certain ways we don’t recommend to pass the time. Like, for instance, firing off a rifle so close to a neighborhood that the bullets riddle multiple homes. That’s what…
William Breathes’s post about the reasons why medical marijuana caregivers are in the state government crosshairs continues to generate comments — and the frustration over this topic is spilling into other areas. For example, the taxes placed on cannabis. This reader feels that marijuana should actually have a lower tax rate…
Denver blog posts are still in business. Our Food & Restaurant blogs lists a slew of new metro Denver restaurant openings, as well as ten closings in February. The Colorado Independent’s Tessa Cheek writes about the challenge of protecting student data in the Internet age. Coyote Gulch has the latest…
At this writing, Leonard Martinez has not yet been formally accused of homicide in the death of his former girlfriend in Lakewood last week. But rest assured, this charge is coming. He was originally arrested on suspicion of assault and attempted murder. However, the situation changed when his victim, 21-year-old…
When Brian Shaw was fired as head coach by the Denver Nuggets yesterday, the only surprise was that the team did so before the end of the season. After all, continuing to lose at this point might actually help the team get a better draft pick, and Shaw had gotten…
Last November, when we introduced you to Gordon Klingenschmitt, the exorcism-doing, gay-slammer who’d just been elected as a state representative, he was already a darling of the progressive media types. From their perspective, he was the walking, talking embodiment of ultra-conservatism’s worst tendencies — and one with the potential of…
Anyone who’s ever visited eBay knows there’s a lot of strange stuff for sale on the site — but some things are stranger than others. We know, because of the posts that came up in a search for the word “Colorado” — especially after we looked in “Everything Else,” the…
