Vandals reportedly attacked the Denver County GOP headquarters twice over the weekend. Who’s to blame? Radical anarchists like Maurice “Ariel Attack” Schwenkler, charged with vandalizing Democratic HQ last year? Republican operatives? Drunk teens who randomly selected the building to test out some power tools? As they say, we report, you…
This weekend, the Denver Post shared polling data showing Democrat John Hickenlooper holding a “comfy” ten-point lead over main challenger Tom Tancredo in the governor’s race. But Tancredo operations manager Cliff Dodge rejects that, dismissing the Post’s survey as “totally inaccurate” and citing a different poll showing Tanc just three…
In yesterday’s list of the top ten ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Denver Broncos, our number-one choice noted that rather than confronting players over the team’s 59-14 pasting by the hated Raiders, he went into “a private shell of misery — precisely the wrong thing to do under the…
Update:As of yesterday afternoon, the Denver Post hadn’t published an article about its latest circulation report — for space reasons, perhaps? However, such a piece appears in today’s print edition — and it’s less spin-happy than usual, straightforwardly conceding that sales of physical copies continue to slide while online visits…
As we reported last month, the Mile High Marketplace, aka Mile High Flea Market, isn’t high enough for medical marijuana, since the operation kicked out Cannabis University Dean Michelle LaMay when she ran a booth there. Now LaMay, aka “Grandma Ganj,” is back. Yesterday, she protested outside the flea market…
These three Denver blog posts are piping hot. Denver Stiffs’ Jeffrey Morton isn’t drinking the Haterade about the Nuggets, who he sees as a potential number two seed in the West. Colorado Pols wonders if there’s anyone left for the Yes on 62 campaign to offend. Signs point to “yes.”…
According to attorney Rob Corry, voters have tried to make Denver “the most marijuana-friendly city on Earth,” supporting a 2000 amendment to use cannabis medically, 2004 and 2006 measures to legalize it for adult use, and a 2008 edict to make enforcing pot regs the lowest law-enforcement priority. That’s why…
The placement of the two ‘Sidewalk Closed Ahead’ signs pictured above give pedestrians a scant three inches in which to make their crossover, presumably between the inwardly pointing directional arrows. This form-fitting placement is not due to Coloradans’ ranking as the least obese in the nation. In a state famous…
The Colorado Attorney General’s Office accuses nineteen-year-old Dallas Cardenas of being a pimp — but that’s not all. As shown in a wide-ranging indictment on view below, Cardenas also faces charges of trafficking in adults and children, since one of the two women he’s said to have forced into sex-for-pay…
Tonight’s the final reading of Denver City Councilwoman Jeanne Robb’s measure to impose medical marijuana grow restrictions in residential areas. At this point, she says they’re likely to omit all mention of caretakers and restrict patients to six plants apiece or twelve plants at a single location…
Among the most debated stories of the month involves a fatal crash that may involve illegally obtained medical marijuana. But while many of the comments focus on whether or not medical marijuana is being scapegoated in the case, one recent post sets aside that issue in favor of showing concern…
We’ve carefully cropped this photo from the Victorian Fetish Ball to make it safe for work — but the full shot, which definitely isn’t, can be eyeballed at the link above. Also see galleries of Bassnectar at 1STBANK Center, the 16th Street Mall Zombie Walk and more at Westword’s slideshow…
The website for Personhood USA, the organization pushing Amendment 62, which declares that the term “person” applies from one’s biological starting point, doesn’t come across as scary. At this writing, it sports the smiling face of Tim Tebow’s mom, who supports the measure. But a video from Personhood USA’s YouTube…
Is it fair to blame Coach Josh McDaniels for the Broncos’ humiliating 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders yesterday? In a word: yes. McDaniels was brought to Denver to revitalize a once-proud franchise. Instead, he’s steadily undermined the squad with stupid decisions, poor management and inconsistency so consistent that Sunday’s…
Congrats, Ken Buck. One poll shows your lead over Michael Bennet in the Senate race has shrunk to a dead heat, likely due to your comparison of homosexuality to alcoholism and suggestion that global warming is a hoax, not to mention that “buyer’s remorse” comment about an alleged date-rape victim…
What’s a poor dispensary owner to do to stand out in an oversaturated market featuring dispensaries on every street corner? One solution would be to hire Grow Room Communications, a new Denver-based company that purports to be the country’s first and only medical marijuana business development and public relations firm…
Over the past week or so, UFO sightings have been reported over Denver, New York City, El Paso and Richmond. Whether any of them are either connected or legitimate Jeff Peckman can’t say — but the man behind Initiative 300, which would establish an extraterrestrial affairs commission, feels that interest…
These three Denver blog posts should hold you until Monday. Colorado Pols offers a look at several “mailbombs” attacking Jeffco Democrat Debbie Benefield, including one alleged royal screw-up. Education News Colorado’s Alan Gottlieb feels that parents’ proud tears trumped a talk by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, subject of…
Local football fans eagerly waiting to find out where John Elway would rate on the NFL Network’s list of the 100 greatest players finally have their answer: No. 7 finished at No. 23. An appropriate spot? Not according to a couple of prominent Broncos bloggers, who are plenty unhappy about…
Ken Buck: Too extreme for Colorado? How about, Ken Buck: Too embarrassing for Colorado. We seem to have our own Joe Biden in the house, a guy who can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth. In some ways it’s refreshing to see a politician who’s not slick enough to…
HB 1284, the medical marijuana regulatory bill signed in June, is a complicated measure that changes many of the ways MMJ caregivers have operated. But attorney Adam Mayo thinks he may have found a work-around: patient collectives. He’ll discuss the topic at length during a Monday Cannabis Therapy Institute seminar…
After months of being criticized for their aggressive arrests and use of excessive force, Denver cops are trying to win back the trust of Denver citizens with a kinder, gentler, hands-off policing style…
