A torrid blast of publicity hasn’t exactly boosted sales for Pueblo author Philip R. Greaves II, whose e-book The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-lover’s Code of Conduct has drawn death threats and compelled Amazon to remove the book from its site. And now other Greaves works are…
Today, we’ve already published not one but two posts about local homicides — and while a death on the 3000 block of South Hobart Way hasn’t officially received this designation, Denver Police call it suspicious. The Denver coroner’s office describes the victim as a white male, but no ID has…
Marijuana activist Miguel Lopez is throwing himself a birthday party on Sunday, November 14, at Casselman’s, and everyone’s invited. But Lopez doesn’t want any gifts.

A triumvirate of Denver blog posts. 5280’s Michael de Yoanna writes that Ken Buck and Dan Maes blame election-day losses on Republicans. Mmm-kay. Mile High Hockey’s David Driscoll-Carignan notes that the Colorado Avs are hurting — physically, that is. Ouch. Square State’s Bill Egnor thinks Rush Limbaugh’s a racist douche…

It doesn’t take much to be a Shmuck of the Week: Just add the term “R-Colorado Springs” to the end of your name. It’s a sure bet. Take former state senator Dave Schultheis, R-Colorado Springs, who landed on the list a whopping three times, or representative Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs,…

Colorado Border School sounds like an illegal immigration forum. But founder Pam Faraone, a chaplain with the Southwest Border Sheriffs Coalition in Texas, insists that’s not the case. “Border School really isn’t about immigration,” she says. “It is the rest of the story about the issues of border security.”…
With so many Colorado cities and counties banning medical marijuana dispensaries on election day, many MMJ patients across the states will be put in the position of growing their own cannabis. But how to start? A home grower named Cranman has written Beginner’s MMJ Indoor Soil Grow Guide, which he’s…
If the Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, their season won’t be officially over, but close enough — and at 2-6, Denver hasn’t give fans much reason to hope of late. But it wasn’t always that way, as our following video roundup of ten great Broncos moments…
Carmelo Anthony wasn’t always at his best against the L.A. Lakers last night. He vacillated between focused/unstoppable and scattered/ineffective. But he came through when it mattered most, showing the NBA’s most elite player, Kobe Bryant, that he belongs in the discussion of the league’s best. The result was a 118-112…
After two weeks of outraged protests and threats of boycott, Amazon finally pulled a self-published e-book by a Pueblo man that proposed certain “non-injurious rules” for pedophiles to follow in their molestation of children. The book, The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-lover’s Code of Conduct, reportedly broke…
This week’s cover story, “Disappearing Act,” examines the difficulties of enforcing Colorado’s anti-human smuggling law, which was passed in 2006.

Amy Angelilli and the folks at the Rocky Mountain Alley Cat Alliance’s Feline Fix have come up with some hilarious ways to fight pussy overpopulation, including Tom Cat Condoms. But Angelilli’s funniest creation may be the winningly clueless Nurse Nancy, who delivers a spaying-and-neutering message almost despite herself. And now,…
These three Denver blog posts are ready for inspection. Mile High Report’s John Bena links to a CNBC piece confirming that Tim Tebow’s jersey sales still lead the NFL even though he still hasn’t thrown his first regular-season pass. No. 15 is no. 1! The folks at DenverRadio.net discuss the…
From the outside, and even once you walk in, not much appears to have changed at The Releaf Center since our Mae Coleman first visited back in September of 2009. The bars on the front windows are gone, but they still have ample floor space, a dance-studio mirrored wall in…
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s rejection of nearly 2,000 medical marijuana patients’ licenses prompted talk of potential lawsuits from MMJ advocacy groups. But the dynamic changed at yesterday’s meeting of the CDPHE’s medical marijuana advisory committee, when the department temporarily backed off its earlier pronouncement…
The West Highland neighborhood is the home of the (former) Elitch Gardens Amusement park and hotbed of Denver Democratic politics. So it’s only fitting that the icon shown above would include a reference to a historic carousel. The rotating rides may have left the streetcar suburb when Elitch’s was relocated…
Speaker Designee Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, thinks Republican candidates are selling like hot-cakes, so he has jacked the the House and created a huge flap by renaming committees to better represent the priorities of the Republican Party…
