Steve Lawler, decking it.

May we interest you in some other blogs?

Today in Backbeat Online: • A review of Steve Lawler at Beta. • A compendium of weekend-party pics ready for clicking.

Today in Cafe Society: • A Milking It taste of High School Musical cereal. Zac, you're so dreamy!

Today in The Latest Word: • Failed gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's re-emergence as a robo-caller. • The Denver Post's strangely contradictory endorsement of Barack Obama. • The Rocky Mountain News's equally unusual endorsement of... nobody. • The connection between Judge Edward "Naughty" Nottingham and the Bada Bing. • The hilarious panhandler sign of the day. Please give generously. -- Michael Roberts
