We like good blogs. Know about any? The people behind a new conservative think tank “will need balls the size of church bells” to spend soft money supporting Scott McInnis. Holy genitals! (Colorado Pols) “Underemployed Smartass Blogger Opts Out of GOP Senate Race:” a headline whose time has come (Slapstick…
As training camp gets into full swing and the football season looms ever closer, our beloved Denver Broncos are stuck in what’s known as a “rebuilding” year. As a team in flux, the orange and blue face many questions. Can Josh McDaniels succeed as a head coach? Will Kyle Orton…
Though I (and a bunch of Highland neighborhood fans, in particular) felt sad last December when Joy Barrett closed the doors of her Studio Bead emporium on 32nd Avenue, I was relieved that Barrett was planning on continuing one annual Studio Bead tradition. Beads, Braids & Brows: A FridaStyle ArtShow,…
A growing number of airline-industry observers have stepped up to suggest that Southwest Airlines’ attempt to purchase Frontier — which, if successful, would spell the end for the Denver carrier, as employees conceded at a protest rally yesterday — indicates that the former knows it can’t defeat the latter in…
The 40th Annual International Mutual UFO Network Symposium is more than an elaborate matrix of conspiracy theories. It’s also a great place to shop! Look for many of your favorite vendors……
Another fascinating look at the healthcare “debate,” this one reportedly from a Patients First rally in Pueblo, in which a speaker claims that proposed legislation would authorize “end-of-life orders” he likens to the atrocities of Pol Pot and Hitler. Does that mean federal stimulus dollars will be going to build…
Many locals are no doubt still emotionally distraught by Paula Abdul’s absence from today’s latest round of American Idol judging in Denver. But it looks as if such people will be getting a celebrity booster shot to assist in their recovery. To whit: X17online.com reports that Victoria Beckham, aka Posh…
The Truth, at 101.5 FM, has launched its new website following yesterday’s switch from its inspired interim format, The Pole. As a result, we now know the station’s full slate: Mancow (6 a.m.-10 a.m.), Neal Boortz (10 a.m.-1 p.m.), Jerry Doyle (1 p.m.-4 p.m.), Michael Savage (4 p.m.-7 p.m.), Rusty…
View Larger Map This just in from the Adams County District Attorney’s Office. Late yesterday, Kevin Duane Stunes was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Nancy Bannock last Thanksgiving at 1616 E. 78th Avenue, an area captured in the graphic above (if you have problems seeing the image, click “View…
Our Tuesday blog about KOA radio host Bob Newman’s decision to leave his show in favor of a mysterious counter-terrorism assignment in a country a nineteen-hour flight from Denver has prompted some memorable comments, most of which show little love for Gunny Bob. This response differs considerably from the messages…
When news broke yesterday about the death of director John Hughes at age 59, I couldn’t help thinking back on my brief encounter with the maker of iconic ’80s teen flicks such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The year was 1985, and I was…
When Jay Cutler left Denver in favor of Chicago, following one of the greatest hissy-fits in local sports history, he left behind plenty of fans who lamented his departure. His behavior since then has caused that number to diminish considerably, however, and his most recent comments about the Mile High…
Great idea for the Broncos to stage a free practice session at Invesco Field last night. Problem is, the event gave many more folks than those who visit training camp at Dove Valley — more than 13,000, reportedly — an opportunity to see just how unimpressive quarterback Kyle Orton looks…
Reminder: Doing a really idiotic thing can have a lifetime’s worth of repercussions. Exhibit A: Daniel Lujan, who received a thirty-year sentence yesterday for responding to an argument over a bicycle sale last year by firing a shot that perforated an eight-year-old girl (she recovered, but only after multiple surgeries)…
Just because speech is free in America doesn’t mean it’s always enlightening. That truth comes through loud and clear from the video above, assembled by Fireside Productions during Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit yesterday to the Stout Street Clinic, 2100 Broadway — an effort by Democratic powerhouses to…
The American Idol auditions at Invesco Field last month attracted thousands of fame junkies, earned oodles of media attention and reportedly killed at least one dog. But today’s session is the one that counts: It determines which folks who made it past the first level will actually be heading to…
Would you like to sniff the cork? Today in Cafe Society: • Grapes and grilling tonight at Strings. • Guess where I’m drinking? • Martini Ranch and Hiccups III dry up. • And the new, New York Times restaurant critic is… • Tonight’s shochu dinner at Elway’s Cherry Creek could…
Yikes. Shortly after 4 p.m., smack in the middle of Queen’s “Bicycle Race,” the voice of Erich “Mancow” Muller, host of The Mancow Show, a nationally syndicated repository of far-right loonbaggery, popped up on 101.5 FM, which has been known as The Pole, aka “Stripper Radio,” since dumping the acclaimed…
Where, oh, where did those little blogs go? Show us. The Rockies may have lost 7-zip to the Phillies last night — but hot prospect Christian Friedrich struck out ten in less than six innings for the class-A Modesto Nuts. Glass half full! Glass half full! (Inside the Rockies) Secretary…
Ever since I gave up on my dream of a flying car, I’ve been waiting for the next best thing: an electric one. Sure, it lacks the sexiness of a my Jetsons-fueled childhood fantasy. But on the other hand, I don’t have to learn to fly and my kids may…
Some women seem to have nothing better to do than strip down to something frilly, stretch out on a leopard-skin and say “cheese.” Isn’t it grand? Thirty-three such frivolous local ladies, all entered in the Bring Your Own Beauty Pin-Up Contest, a Vargas-inspired fundraiser hosted by photographer Jim Narcy of…
Just how many government-PR jobs are there? Plenty, apparently — but a plum one’s just been taken by Karlyn Tilley, who’s reported in Denver since 2001, first for Channel 7 and during the past several years at Channel 4. According to a staff memo penned by Channel 4 news director…
