Line up, you three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs’ Andrew Feinstein welcomes George Karl back for the Nug’s regular season debut against the Jazz and predicts big things — so long as Melo sticks around. Colorado Pols: Has Michael Bennet edged ahead of Ken Buck? Denver Egotist presents GuerillaGarden ads…
These days, Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes isn’t getting much love in Colorado, where one poll shows him with just 5 percent support, to the delight of Tom Tancredo. But the national press he’s getting of late may be even uglier, with one major source wondering if he’s the nation’s…
In an unusual court filing, state senator and prominent GOP campaigner Shawn Mitchell states that his battle with anxiety and depression has made it difficult to get work done in his law practice and political life, leading to blown deadlines and missed hearings and campaign events. The affidavit, filed in…
You figured former Fort Collins resident Richard Heene was a little off after that whole Balloon Boy hoax thing that got a little bit of attention a while back, right? But the way he’s pimping his latest money-making plan, the Bear Scratch, is so off-the-charts loony that it makes his…
Our piece yesterday about the Boulder Police Department preparing for a possible Naked Pumpkin Run and revived Boulder Mall Crawl Halloween weekend drew a philosophical comment from one reader. In his opinion, being unexpectedly confronted by a giant image of someone’s special place on a computer screen is considerably more…
Update: A judge has rejected a lawsuit over a medical marijuana business ban in El Paso County. Read about the development in this post: “Medical marijuana dispensary ban: El Paso vote to count, but could passage cost county millions?” Then look below to learn more about the fight against County…
Update: Leslie Oliver, campaign spokeswoman for Ed Perlmutter, says a recent attack ad inaccurately claiming that the 7th District congressman supported supplying Viagra to convicted rapists isn’t the first time an outside group called the American Action Network has battered him with a false ad. She stops short of calling…
Our top ten list of the ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Broncos wasn’t meant to be funny. But somehow, Coach McD has become a national laughingstock following Denver’s 59-14 loss to the hated Raiders, with ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon piling on during yesterday’s edition of Pardon the…
Update: The admission by Denver’s coroner that the body of sixteen-year-old Alicia Martinez, identified yesterday following the arrest of Edward Timothy Romero for investigation of murder, showed signs of “some disfigurement,” understandably horrified her friends and family. Now, we have an idea about what this term means: Martinez had to…
After more than three decades as a Denver landmark, Celebrity Sports Center closed in 1994, taking the eighty-lane Celebrity Lanes bowling alley with it. But the institution’s good name has lived on in the nostalgic minds of anyone who grew up here during those years, as well as on the…
Artbeat, Michael Paglia October 21 See Change I should have written this ages ago, to let you know how much I enjoy Michael Paglia’s column. On several occasions I have visited an art exhibit, only to later read his review and realize how much of it I had missed —…
Audrey had one foot in the grave, the other one on it. Meth will do that. One cold day in February 2009, high on drugs, the 25-year-old had taken the bus to Golden, then hopped a cemetery fence to reach the gravesite of a girl she’d known, a friend who’d…
We can expect plenty of over-the-top negative ads and low blows in the next few days as this gruesome election cycle enters its final days. But a mailer sent out by Republican statehouse candidate Libby Szabo, trying to paint Rep. Sara Gagliardi as a typical tax-and-spend Dem, is just plain…
Ken Buck ran afoul of the GLBT community when he likened being gay to alcoholism on Meet the Press, prompting activists to demand a retraction. So is Buck prejudiced? He didn’t appear to be in April 2009 when, as Weld County DA, his office successfully prosecuted a case that advocates…
While a move to follow California’s lead and put the legalization of marijuana on next week’s state-wide ballot didn’t come to pass, many Colorado voters will still asked to vote about pot issues on November 2. That’s because many cities, towns and counties put measures dealing with medical marijuana centers…
These three Denver blog posts would love to be read by you. Among other things, Denver Stiffs’ Nate Timmons predicts that Carmelo Anthony will finish the season with the Nugs. Hope not, for the future’s sake. Mile High Mamas lauds a Jeffco school’s model approach to teaching kids with autism…
KOA’s Mike Rosen accused AM 760’s David Sirota of being humorless after Sirota circulated a Rosen line from a debate about crashing a plane into a thus-far-unbuilt mosque near Ground Zero — a joke, according to Rosen, but one that still led to MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann branding him the worst…
After the election-day stress of choosing the least objectionable candidate and making sense of the Amendments, voters are asked to decide upon the retention of a mysterious list of unknown State, District and County judges. In an effort to help educate voters for the upcoming November 2, 2010 election, brief…
Update: Last week, we told you about the creepy case of a man accused of posing as a doctor from “Immigration” in order to gain entry to a home and molest an elementary-school-age child. The suspect remains at large — but the Aurora Police Department hopes a new, computer-generated illustration…
Last week, we posted five “It Gets Better Project” videos with Colorado connections, in which regular folks and local celebrities assured gay teens suffering from bullying that the harassment will one day stop — and that life after high school gets better. Now, Alf, a local jock from KTCL/93.3 FM,…
Yesterday, we previewed the Denver City Council’s vote about marijuana grow limits in residential neighborhoods — and restrictions of twelve plants per location passed. But one reader has an idea about how patients and caregivers can work around this change…
Last year at this time, Boulder Police were on high alert for fear that the annual Naked Pumpkin Run and a revival of the Boulder Mall Crawl on Halloween would lead to chaos. Two Mall Crawl organizers even received a personal visit from Boulder’s police chief. In the end, the…
