It’s that time again, lovers of Denver bloggery. Bronco Talk’s Jonathan Douglas thinks Mike Shanahan wants Brandon Marshall in a Redskins uniform in part because “Mike’s probably one of the few people that Marshall would respect (and trust) enough to accept a payday that’s reasonable (and not over-inflated).” Although Dan…
Former District 1 City Councilor Rick Garcia was most famous for his uncanny ability to turn simple neighborhood problems into even bigger messes. His mid-second-term departure last month to take a job as the director of the regional Housing and Urban Development office is a case in point: It spawned…
Last night, the Boulder City Council passed a controversial nudity ordinance banning anyone over the age of ten from exposing their genitals in public — a response to concerns about annual events such as the World Naked Bike Ride and the Naked Pumpkin Run, as well as the possible revival…

At a meeting tonight, the Boulder City Council will take up a proposed public nudity ordinance that’s gone through several permutations in recent months. At first, the measure forbade the display of a woman’s nipples, among other things. Then, the council stripped the ordinance of this language. But now, council…
We clicked on these Denver blogs. Maybe you should, too. Ian Henson at Bronco Talk thinks Brandon Marshall may have chosen to get married in Denver because “subconsciously he feels that he’s not going anywhere.” Well, he did put a ring on it… Over at 5280, Michael de Yoanna wonders…
Is Andrew Romanoff’s Colorado senate run against Michael Bennet making an impact in the Beltway? Prominent mentions in the Washington Post serve as telling indications — and the paper has name-checked Romanoff twice in as many days. Yesterday, the Post’s Dan Balz gave Romanoff the full-scale profile treatment via a…

Meagan Castle, spokeswoman for Governor Bill Ritter, confirms that her boss has received a threatening letter that’s been turned over to the FBI. But that’s all she’s saying — and FBI spokesman Dave Joly isn’t offering any additional information until an afternoon press conference being piggy-backed on a media gathering…
The Tea Party Express rally staged yesterday at the Capitol was fairly typical of many protests against Barack Obama and anyone who ever said anything positive about him, with one notable exception — a performance by rapper David Saucedo, who goes by the name Politik. Judging by the video seen…

Last week, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers joined a dozen peers around the country to sue the federal government in an effort to stop the new health-care law. “I understand that many citizens of Colorado will allege that this lawsuit is politically motivated. It is not. I am not reacting…

On Monday in this space, ex-Congressman and former presidential candidate Tom Tancredo called for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border following the murder of rancher Rob Krentz, presumably by an illegal alien. His plea has now been echoed by none other than…
Welcome to a Denver blog roundup. Rope ’em and tie ’em. In a fan post on Mile High Report, oc60 presents his arguments in favor of the Broncos keeping Brandon Marshall before asking readers to vote to give him another chance or send him packing. The results at this writing?…
Yesterday, ex-Congressman and former presidential candidate Tom Tancredo decried the murder of Arizona rancher Rob Krentz and called for troops to be placed on the U.S.-Mexico border — a wish the Obama administration is extraordinarily unlikely to grant. But Tancredo, who spoke on Saturday at a well-attended Tea Party rally…

Last week, we told you about State Representative John Kefalas’ bill to simplify the language in insurance policies, which requires, among other things, that policies be written at a tenth-grade reading level in no smaller than ten-point font — an effort the democrat from Fort Collins says was a response…
It’s not all that unusual for former Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo to get fired up about what he sees as the unprotected border between the United States and Mexico. In fact, he did so earlier this month, when he suggested that the Obama administration was gleeful at the…
A lot has happened in the eleven months since Westword last wrote about Colorado’s lack of a legal syringe exchange program — and how a group called Underground Syringe Exchange Denver, or USED, formed to fill that gap. But with the introduction of Senate Bill 189 this week, the state…
You don’t have to be from Denver to read Denver blogs. They don’t discriminate. The Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic offers up a YouTube video in which Betsy Markey explains and celebrates her health-care vote, despite alleged threats made against her and the enmity of Tea Party groups. At this point,…
It would be unfair to ask older residents to pay for the $30 million Colorado Capitol dome repair bill, because they won’t even be alive long enough to enjoy the improvements. If Colorado’s kids love the damn gold dome so much, let them pay for it’s upkeep. Americans have a…
