Look below to find three Denver blog posts. Bronco Talk’s Jon weighs in on an NFL.com debate about whether Champ Bailey is the best cornerback of the millennium. Nice to think the Broncos have the best something. At Elephant Journal, Sara Gottfried offers an homage to Betty Ford. Plants &…
In an April post about the John Denver Tribute Concert and Colorado Hall of Fame Induction, I conceded that JD’s music triggers my gag reflex. But others feel differently about the late Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., including J.P. McDaniel, the Littleton resident behind a petition to name the east peak…
The Brighton Police Department is under fire for allegedly giving special treatment to firefighter Randy Cleveland, who’s been charged with six domestic-violence-related felonies. But the BPD, which denies the claims about Cleveland, apparently has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to stupid pranks, as indicated by its arrest of six…
Jefferson County officials should not be encouraging pet owners to believe that “There Is No Poop Fairy.” As the illustration above indicates, scat scofflaws won’t respond to any poop-pickup commandments unless they are being watched over by real, live poop fairies…..
Last month, we told you about a loophole in HB 1043, the medical marijuana cleanup bill, that could let Big Pharma firms get involved in the Colorado MMJ industry. Now, the Drug Enforcement Administration has made a new proposal involving marijuana extracts, and attorney Warren Edson sees it as further…
Yadda-yadda-yadda has obviously paid well for Jerry Seinfeld. Otherwise, he could never have afforded the spectacular Telluride residence he’s now put on the market — for a mere $18.25 million. Fortunately, you’ll get a lot for the money — including eleven bedrooms and twelve and a half baths…
Our most recent Shmuck of the Week, Abigail Suber, is accused of threatening to call immigration on a driver who got into an accident with her. But one reader feels it’s premature to cast judgment on her — and to defend this point, she brings up the name of a…
A list of “The 19 Most Hated Companies in America” in The Atlantic aspires to quantify all the rotten customer service, hidden and excessive fees, broken promises and general consumer aggravation out there. And one Colorado-based company, Dish Network, shows up at No. 18 — a bit embarrassing, sure, but…
Brighton firefighter and former deputy sheriff Randy Cleveland is facing six felony counts, including assault and sex-assault charges, related to an alleged campaign of violence aimed at his wife and kids. But also under fire is the Brighton Police Department, which accusers say looked the other way — or offered…
Friday marks the beginning of the end for the Harry Potter film series, with the official release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 — a flick my HP-loving twin daughters, age eighteen, have been anticipating for more than half their lives. But they managed to get a…
Although it hasn’t gotten the publicity of alleged police misconduct involving the likes of Michael DeHerrera and Alex Landau, the March death of Oleg Gidenko is frequently cited by reform-minded protesters, who say Gidenko was unarmed when Aurora cops plugged him in the back of the head. But that’s not…
“Real Men Get Their Facts Straight,” Martin Cizmar, Ellis Conklin and Kristen Hinman, June 30 Get Real What was your June 30 cover story about? Do you have a personal grudge toward Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore? The only arguments you made against the two are that their numbers are…
Louisiana-based CenturyLink will replace the big blue Qwest signs atop the 52-story building at 1801 California Street this week with its own bilious green logo. It’s a change that ends an acrimonious era, as Qwest — the former fiber-optic whiz kid, the brash bad boy of the telecom world who…
Soon after he was arrested and charged with murdering his girlfriend, Robert Walters asked for help. But the Iraq war veteran, then 23, didn’t turn to the military, his lawyers, his parents, or even his friends. Instead, prosecutors allege, he sought out a man whose reputation matched the task he…
A few weeks ago, in an interview for Ruper Murdoch’s iPad newspaper, The Daily, I casually mentioned that Denver has more dispensaries than Starbucks — a fact Denver Post’s Chris Osher first pointed out back in January. I had no clue then that paraphrasing that quote would re-ignite a national…
Three seats are up for grabs on the Denver Public Schools Board of Education this November — and the list of candidates vying for them is growing. As of today, seven candidates have announced that they’re running, including incumbent Arturo Jimenez, who represents northwest Denver. The election is an important…
That gnashing of teeth and muttered cursing you hear is coming from energy companies and developers north of the state border. Last week, U.S. District Judge John L. Kane ruled that an obscure jumping mouse should be considered a threatened species not only in Colorado but in Wyoming, too –…
Real-life superheroes, those brave (and some would say foolhardy) folks who strap on costumes and battle evil wherever they can find it, are reaching media saturation. They’ve become a staple of nightly news stations, scored a lengthy shout-out in Rolling Stone, and one of them, a lone soul who goes…
As a town prosecutor, Castle Rock’s Christy Ausmus is tasked with trying to earn convictions against suspects. Now, however, she’s on the other side of a criminal charge. Ausmus and another couple are looking at assault and disorderly conduct allegations in a knock-down, drag-out fight at a youth baseball game…
Denver blog posts are multiplying. Predominantly Orange’s Chris Krier sees credibility in optimistic CBA tweets by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Are you ready for some football? Square State’s saindenver: If you want to change the direction, get involved. WhoSaidYouSaid’s Kelly Maher shops Walmart for candy and ammo. Take that, lefties…
Shortly after the February murders of Amara Wells and Robert Rafferty Jr. in Keene Ranch, the Douglas County coroner’s office, led by Lora Thomas, revealed that the victims died of sharp force injury; they were stabbed to death. But the DougCo sheriff’s office wanted to hold back that info –…
The Qwest signs on top of the 52-story building at 1801 California Street are being replaced with Century Link signs this week. The change heralds the dawn of a new age in Denver — the age of global corporate insignificance. Too bad our downtown towers can’t be named for successful…
