A buttock? Male, female? Muscular. Hair. More hair. Definitely male. REVEAL hard-core gay sex scene between a flawless blond bodybuilder-hooker and a bald, middle-aged 300-pound man. A cell phone rings. The fat man reaches for it, hits a button to stop the ringing. Back to sex. A hotel phone starts…
View larger image Ohio Total Number of Delegates: 162 Pledged: 141 Unpledged: 21 How to Recognize an Ohio Delegate: If the state of Connecticut married the state of Kentucky, their baby would be the state of Ohio. Like no other Americans, Ohioans combine the cold-hearted industriousness of the New England…
Tim Russert came to town yesterday, to collect the fourteenth annual Damon Runyon Award handed out by the Denver Press Club — and to give us just a taste of what Denver can expect in August, when the whole world will be watching. Lately, we’ve heard the word “Denver” a…
In light of John McCain handily winning the GOP nomination despite his constant on-air harangues about the collapse of conservative values at the hands of this cross-aisle-reaching maverick, Rush Limbaugh might be looking for another outlet for his frustration. After seeing this poor impression of McCain mulling Condoleezza Rice as…
State representative Andrew Romanoff is a party man, but not that kind of party man. The Colorado Speaker of the House is looking forward to the Democratic National Convention this August, but doesn’t think the nation’s drunkest city should consider keeping bars open later (make that earlier into the morning)…
Tucker Carlson is sort of the Paris Hilton of political punditry: he’s famous for just being famous. Which is enough, it needs be said, to have your own show for a near three-year run on MSNBC. But then, Paris had The Simple Life, too. Life with Tucker Carlson isn’t so…
Peter Kozma, a Hungarian artist who lives in Switzerland, has been in town during the last week hunting up locations for a series of proposed light projections on Denver buildings that would coincide with the Democratic National Convention in August. The project is being sponsored by Denver’s Invisible Museum, a…

The Colorado Rockies’ first home game yesterday attracted a host of local politicos — Governor Bill Ritter, Denver mayor John Hickenlooper (who had to leave before the first pitch for a police academy graduation ceremony), Representative (and U.S. Senate candidate) Mark Udall. But a national star was in the house,…
If Governor Ritter has any doubts about putting pen to paper to sign the long-overdue repeal of Colorado’s Sunday liquor ban, he should remember that the state’s honor is at risk. This is Convention Summer, and Minnesota sure as hell isn’t going to beat us to the booze. A legislative…
College kids, when not sexing and boozing, are attending Obama rallies. When there isn’t an Obama rally to attend, they’ll make one up. Perhaps because April Fools’ Day fast approaches or perhaps because they got tired of the election year sex and beer, unnamed miscreants on the University of Pennsylvania…
April Fool’s Day: the most irritating holiday or undeniably the most irritating holiday? The date tends to bring out the dumbness in even the smartest people. Every once in a while, though, a prank actually produces a chuckle — like, for instance, the one the lefties at ProgressNow pulled on…
Preston Peerman continues to hunt for Senator Larry Craig in the bathrooms at DIA. Here’s his latest report: Location: Men’s room in the main DIA terminal, just to the right where passengers exit at the top of the escalator (in front of the fountain). I’m currently in the middle stall…

Should Denver be hosting the Republican National Convention, too? Assuming the Democrats can get their collective act together and actually nominate someone for the presidency, John McCain’s looking for a blue boost. Beyond the impending delegate-deadlock and superdelegate fiasco, another ominous sign for the Dems has appeared on the horizon…
Preston Peerman just checked in with his latest investigation of DIA’s restrooms, and his ongoing search for Larry Craig: Location: DIA men’s restroom across from the shoe-shine stand in the B concourse (just as you come up the escalator from the train). Due to the fact that I arrived two…
Presumptive GOP nominee John McCain will make a Mile High stopover on Thursday, visiting the Denver Athletic Club for a meet and greet with his Colorado Finance Committee. “Finance Committee” means “rich and/or powerful donors,” and “his” committee means “Romney and Giuliani’s.” It’s an old truism that Democrats fall in…
Criticizing Glenn Beck is an unsatisfying thing. Part of the reason for this is that it’s so easy. After all, the guy is, like Limbaugh and Hannity before him, utterly untrained for what he’s come to do. Rush was a sales rep; Sean was in construction; Glenn Beck was a…
Tracy Morgan, of all people, finished it. It, of course, being the political controversy surrounding Saturday Night Live’s supposed support of Hillary Clinton. At least we can hope so, after a long round of puffed-up news surrounding the late-night institution and its supposedly sincere political soapboxery. We’re years into an…

Ever since the Idaho Statesman revealed that Senator Larry Craig had made the moves on a fellow Idaho politico at Denver International Airport, our Mr. seX, Preston Peerman, has been keeping his eyes open on his frequent trips out of DIA. Here’s his latest report: LOCATION: Main Concourse at DIA:…
It was pretty obvious from the outset that some sort of clandestine conspiracy run by the Bush Administration was sneaking a peek into Barack Obama’s passport file on hand with the State Department. The whole thing reeked of 1972—a paranoid party desperately collecting secrets and deep background on leading Democratic…
