At this point, Aurora Police Department reps haven’t released the identity of the man found stabbed to death at a home near the Saddle Creek Golf Course. But they’ve revealed the name of a suspect arrested for investigation of homicide — Trevor Stewart, 22 — and confirm that he’s a…
In a Monday post in which I argued that the Nuggets were bound for a first-round playoff loss, I predicted that they’d win game five at home — which they did last night, 116 to 102. The results were enough to prompt upbeat comments from KEPN radio early-morning host Ryan…
If Bill Sullivan were on trial for being a bad boyfriend, we’re pretty sure he’d be found guilty. Exhibit A? The evidence presented by his exes in this week’s feature, “Operation Cock Block Tries to Protect Women’s Hearts and Pocketbooks From This Crooked Casanova.” We’re also sure that Bill would…
“The Boy Who Wouldn’t Tell,” Joel Warner, April 22 To Tell the Truth Are readers supposed to feel sympathetic for Alan Sudduth? After reading this article, one should ask, so what? I personally feel Sudduth deserves every single minute he’s served behind bars already, as well as those he’ll still…
The McNichols building at the edge of Civic Center Park, originally a Carnegie library, has been stripped down to its century-old bones. The city showed off this classy chassis last week, at a Hard Hat Gala to mark the countdown to the Biennial of the Americas, coming to Civic Center…
Bill and Dana had been dating for nearly two years when Ann started calling. Bill, six feet tall and 38, with thick brown hair and a rakish smile, told Dana that Ann was just a friend, someone who needed a shoulder to lean on because she was having problems with…
Editor’s note: Mexicans lived in America before many territories became states. Indeed, much of our country was once their country. Today, Mexican immigrants are part of the fabric of this nation. Yet there is now fervor to drive immigrants out—almost at all costs. Keep them from coming here—almost at all…
Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis likes Arizona’s controversial new immigration law a whole lot more than does Representative Jared Polis, who told Politico that requiring immigrants to have their papers on them at all times is “absolutely reminiscent of second class status of Jews in Germany prior to World War…
Be honest: If you’d just hit a car as you landed your plane, what’s the first thing you’d do? Run, probably — which is exactly what 67-year-old Joe Curtis did. According to Boulder County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Commander Rick Brough, Curtis crashed his single engine plane at Independence and N…

The hearing wound up evolving…
Drumroll, please: Here are three blogs about Denver we encourage you to sample. Did the Broncos draft Tim Tebow because his lips are like sugar? Actually, he’s kinda got a lisp, but that’s a subject for another day — since Mile High Report’s T.J. Johnson thinks the real reason Josh…
AM-760 host David Sirota, posting on ColoradoPols.com, shares a timely item that helps contextualize Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’s assertion that he’d like to bring Arizona’s controversial immigration law to Colorado — an opinion expressed on KHOW this morning and via his spokesman, Sean Duffy, in a just-published Westword interview…
Bill Sullivan, the subject of this week’s feature “Operation Cock Block Tries to Protect Women’s Hearts and Pocketbooks From This Crooked Casanova,” is dishonest, several of his exes say. He’s a charming, good-looking guy who cheats and lies his way into women’s hearts and pocketbooks. For four years in the…
Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis has been spending plenty of time on KHOW’s airwaves lately. On Monday, for instance, he attempted to counter suggestions that he’s not especially charitable during an appearance on the Caplis & Silverman show by telling how he’d killed an elk and given its meat to…
Valverde: The hand-painted sign pictured above covers the entire east wall of El Nuevo Rancho Grande on West Alameda at Clay Street. The artist leaves it up to the viewer’s imagination to decide whether the midget gets eaten or the gator gets made into a new pair of boots. See…

Anyone who’s visited Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall over the past decade or two will recognize Ibashi-i, aka Milton Brown, a contortionist whose regular performances feature him twisting, splitting and squeezing into a twenty-inch box. That someone can making a living by tying himself in knots is just one of the…
On April 1, we told you about a ProgressNow Colorado petition signed by more than 8,000 people who oppose Colorado Attorney General John Suthers’ decision to join a lawsuit challenging the legality of the new health-care law.
