A major bite has been taken from the list of the fifty most wanted suspects in and around Denver that the Denver Police Department and other nearby agencies put together in March. In the succeeding six months, 31 have been taken into custody. To see the nineteen who’ve thus far…
The number of at-large suspects on a list of the fifty most wanted, assembled by the Denver Police Department and other metro-area law-enforcement agencies, is getting smaller. In the six months since the original roster was circulated, 31 have been brought in from the cold, or the hot, or the…
Westword’s weekend was dominated by Monolith, the annual two-day hipsterfest at Red Rocks that this year featured the Mars Volta, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, Chromeo and plenty of other bands. Our stage-to-stage coverage includes photos of the bands from Day One and Day Two, photos of the fans and…
Back in March, the Denver Police Department and assorted other law enforcement agencies in the metro area came up with a list of their fifty most-wanted suspects. In just over six months since then, 31 of the men and women on this roster have been taken into custody; click here…
Joe Wilson is a tool. Not so much because he yelled at the President — hey, if comics and umpires can take it, so can the leader of the free world — but because his heckling was so lame. So what should he have yelled? Here’s a list of ten…
Things can change mighty quickly in a homicide investigation. On Friday, representatives of the Aurora Police Department announced they were seeking Shayne Miller, 35, in connection with a homicide that took place in a motel on the 9200 block of East Colfax the previous day. But the APD didn’t initially…
As smoke continues to gather over medical-marijuana operations in Colorado, local law-enforcement agencies continue to find weed-growing operations in remote locations — and Pike National Forest appears to be a favorite. Pot worth an estimated $2.5 million was seized during a Sugarloaf Mountain raid in July; click here to view…
As noted in this week’s cover story, “Pot of Gold,” while Colorado’s Amendment 20, which legalized marijuana in 2000, does not cover the subject of marijuana dispensaries, a flood of such operations are opening statewide under the auspices of a complicated legal framework that’s evolved within the vague constraints of…
This morning, while sitting down to write a blog about the Broncos’ Jesus Christ-aided, loaves-and-fishes-style miracle win over the Bengals yesterday, I headed over to DenverPost.com and clicked on the home page’s main photo, which was linked to the game summary. Instead of getting the entire article, however, I was…
Veteran radio-and-TV writer Dusty Saunders showered praise on the KOA broadcast team calling the Broncos 12-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals (achieved thanks to a big assist from Jesus Christ) — particularly retired receiver Ed McCaffrey, who joined longtimer Dave Logan in the booth. But in my view, McCaffrey’s contributions…
Yesterday, the Denver Broncos beat the Cincinnati Bengals 12-7. But the victory wouldn’t have taken place without divine intervention. With well under a minute to go, struggling quarterback Kyle Orton heaved a pass in the direction of disgruntled wideout Brandon Marshall, but Bengals defender Leon Hall got to the ball…

Yesterday, representatives from the Aurora Police Department found a still unidentified dead man in a motel on the 9200 block of East Colfax whose upper body showed such signs of trauma that they immediately began investigating the case as a homicide. Now, the APD is looking for Shayne Miller, 35,…
Our daily round up of local blogs. Enjoy, and happy Friday. Is the pessimism of Broncos fans waning, or do the Bengals just suck? (Or could it be both?) (Mile High Report) It’s environmentalists vs. outdoorsmen in a battle of who loves the wilderness more. (Colorado Independent) Bring back the…
The Governor’s Office of Information Technology has joined up with Connected Nation, a nonprofit group trying to create a map of broadband access — and those areas that still can’t get it — throughout the country. If you’ve currently got broadband access, you can test your speed and tell the…
Another weekend, another roundup of wonderful, meaningful and/or just-plain-fun things to do. But let’s begin with an important one. Friends, family and peers in the arts community will all come together to remember and pay tribute to Shadow Theatre Company founder Jeffrey Nickelson, who sadly passed away last Saturday at…
When I read this morning about a Boulder-area middle school banning jelly bracelets because of their potential sexual meanings, my first reaction was to shmuck the principal up. I mean, the whole pink-means-hand-job bracelet thing has been floating around since 2003, and no one seems to have ever really demonstrated…
It’s all green all the time out at 8500 Pena Boulevard according to the PR chatter from officials at Denver International Airport. A video on the airport’s website titled “DIA is Green” touts environmentally friendly efforts such as a solar power program, an ongoing wind energy study and an “underground…
The latest buzz in medicine is “green healthcare,” where every affliction will be treated by a new strain of marijuana marketing! Labels to look for at your local dispensary include……
Last year, I wrote a blog needling Denver Post editorial page editor Dan Haley about a piece that took what I saw as cheap shots at the Denver Broncos. In response, he challenged me to make a bragging-rights prediction about the team’s record that season. I foresaw a 10-6 finish…
The principal at Lafayette’s Angevine Middle School has reportedly asked parents to urge their kids not to wear colored jelly bracelets to class — and those who do will be asked to remove them. The reason: The colors are said to denote assorted sex acts, and if they break, the…
Roxane White knows a little something about the power of prayer, having graduated with a degree in religious studies from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon back in 1985 — and she’ll need all the faith she can get in her new job, as Mayor John Hickenlooper’s new chief…
