The man who see before you is accused by the Boulder Police Department of having lifted a computer from an area computer store back in early March. Why the cops are only now releasing his photos (and yes, there’s a second one below) is hard to say. But old-school computer…
It pains me to bestow such a dishonor on someone with such an honorable mustache, but this week’s Knight of Shmuck must be former Congressman Scott McInnis, who’s taking one of the more bizarre approaches to governorship since Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura. After months of not-so-subtly announcing his intention…
That annoying, low-pitched whine you hear is the bipartisan complaining from Colorado lawmakers, true blue and beet red, all bent out of shape and quaking in their Crocs over a simple little suggestion from the Obama administration to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. That would mean turning its inhabitants…
Expect more criminals to follow in the footsteps of the “Nighttime Nicotine Ninja” by adopting the late-night-cigarette-thief-dressed-as-a-ninja’s successful “one-time-of-day, one-product, one-costume” formula…..
Have you worked out your supermarket strike plan? If you haven’t, now might be a good time. Although the corporate execs and lawyers at Safeway, King Soopers and Albertsons are still negotiating with the familiar, name-tagged faces who ring you up at your local grocery — and their union overlords…
Last night’s season premier of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance had a decidedly Colorado flavor. Auditions centered on Brooklyn and Denver (check out our slideshow of the local casting call here), with judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Sonja Tayeh giving nineteen Mile High hopefuls a ticket to…
Noticed any disturbing anti-meth billboards on your drive home lately? The ads, brought to you by the Colorado Meth Project, began sprouting up alongside Denver roadways — as well as on TV, radio, MySpace and in a few newspapers — earlier this month. They’re aimed at teenagers and feature gritty…
Here’s a funny thing I came across while researching the various juice drinks sold through a multi-level-marketing model for this week’s cover story on Bazi. Hometown hero Chauncey Billups is the top endorser for Tahitian Noni, a company that was the first to use an Amway-like system to pimp an…
With the new Terminator Salvation movie hitting the theaters this week, now’s as good a time as any to check in on SkyNet. No, we’re not talking about the scary computer system that takes over earth and spews out Arnold Schwarzenegger robots in the Terminator films. We’re talking about the…
Maybe Vince McMahon, the feverish frontman for World Wrestling Entertainment, isn’t a steroid-addled loon — or at least he’s managed to channel any rage he might be feeling for whatever reason into pure, self-promotional bliss. Ever since word broke that a Nuggets playoff game on Monday conflicted with a previously…
Last week, Steve Sanders of the Office of Economic Development sent an e-mail informing us that a blog we did on Denver’s future bike sharing program contained a factual inaccuracy. Apparently, when the system launches next spring, the membership fee will not be $50 per month but, um, well, $50…
This weekend, law enforcement agencies across the state will be out in force to make sure you don’t do anything stupid behind the wheel over the Memorial Day weekend. This link on the Colorado Department of Transportation website details the specific plans of 85 separate organizations. For instance, the Arapahoe…
View Larger Map Tuesday evening, the body of a 34-year-old woman was found in a residence on the 5100 block of Williams Fort Trail in Boulder County, the area featured in the graphic above (if you have problems seeing the image, click “View Larger Map”). At this point, officials haven’t…
In a blog yesterday, I stopped short of guaranteeing a Nuggets victory over the Lakers last night, but pointed out that I expected one. Before the opening tip, though, I suddenly had reason to anticipate disaster. After all, the lead referee for the game was Steve Javie, the quickest whistle…
As you might recall, TNT’s Charles Barkley was the first national analyst to say the Nuggets could win a title. As you also might recall, Charles Barkley has quite the gambling habit — so fierce that he was once sued by the Wynn for $400,000 in unpaid gambling debts, which…

A survey of local bloggage — complete with an e-mail address for sending tips. Chris Simms: What if he doesn’t suck? (Mile High Report) Democratic intern on Capitol Hill discovers that Democrats are kind of liberal, decides she’s actually a Republican. (Face the State) CSU is one step closer to…
You are what you eat, and it’s never seemed truer than during these locavoric times we live in. Not only have people actually begun to think about where their food comes from, but so have artists — imcluding the ones whose local food-themed works were chosen to hang throughout May…
Before the Nuggets-Lakers series began, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa put an unusual spin the typical sporting bet between city head honchos over playoff games. If the Lakers lose, he promised to send Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper the Los Angeles Times to replace the Rocky Mountain News, which folded in…
The decision by Denver District Court Judge Christina Habas to ban cameras from trial of Willie Clark, who’s accused of murdering former Denver Broncos standout Darrent Williams, is no surprise given the violence of the attack and his status as a known gang member, not to mention the danger that…
All in all, Blueprint America: Road to the Future, a PBS show about the future of transportation infrastructure that debuted last night (it can be viewed online by clicking here), was spot-on about the crisis our nation has built itself into by following policies that mandate automobile use and continuous…
