Denver blog posts made for Monday. If Tim Tebow really is the second coming, Mile High Report’s Ian Henson thinks it’s unfair to brand Josh McDaniels an idiot. Geeks Who Drink ask the eternal question: Who says the second time isn’t as good as the first? Three words from an…
In June 2010, Stephanie Rochester was charged with smothering her infant son, Ryan, allegedly because she feared he might be autistic. More than a year later, the case remains stuck in limbo for a startling reason — she still hasn’t been formally evaluated by a state psychiatrist…
Last November, we failed to get MediaNews Group executive Sara Glines to comment on a copyright protection warning printed by the Denver Post — and did so again after controversy flared over the Post’s partnership with lawsuit machine Righthaven LLC and its targeting of chronically ill, mildly autistic hobby blogger…
Revegetation is the natural process of plant colonization designed to repair damage to a neighborhood due to stalled mixed-use retail development projects. A simple application of Hale Kale seed in untended flower pots and abandoned parking strips is believed to grow leafy greens that have potent anti-cancer properties for real…
As medical marijuana has become more prevalent, law enforcers have been reporting more instances of kids having negative reactions to pot — like a March 2010 report about a ten-month-old hospitalized after ingesting an MMJ edible. Now comes word of an eleven-month old in Longmont who had a similar reaction…
Our May item about a prostitution ring allegedly run through high-end strip joints by Germaine Wallace has continued to generate comments about big pimpin’ and services rendered. Among the standouts was the post comparing escorts to dates…
To those of you who think flash mobs are played out, we have this to say: Shut up and dance! That’s what the Denver Flash Mob did on Saturday at Coors Field prior to the Rockies-Dodgers game, shaking it to the Rocky Horror Picture Show fave “Time Warp.” If only…
Electric Daisy Carnival rolled into Denver, and Denver rolled with it judging by Brandon Marshall’s crazy photo gallery. And the grabby snaps don’t end there. Check out Delirium: A Circus of the Senses, Marvelous Mud at the Denver Art Museum, the Great Divide 17th Anniversary Party and more on the…
The alleged link between mayor-elect Michael Hancock and the Denver Players prostitution ring was kept relatively quiet before Hancock’s victory. But even after 7News and Fox31 joined in reporting the story on Thursday, the Denver Post and 9News held off. What made them finally join the fray? Not a treasure…
We’ve been following The Book of Mormon’s march to theatrical dominance for months, from first raves to Drama Desk nominations and Tony nods — fourteen of them, leading to nine victories at the awards ceremony last night, including Best Musical for hometown boys made good Trey Parker and Matt Stone,…
The prairie dogs of Peña Boulevard are getting evicted. As the Denver Post reports today, RTD is attempting to relocate hundreds of critters living along the route of the future train to Denver International Airport. If they can’t find new homes, another option is to kill them and make them…
On Saturday, June 11, devotees of Ultimate Frisbee will be sailing discs with abandon in spirited competition on a field in Centennial — while raising cash for “random acts of kindness” in response to an act of senseless violence that claimed one of their own. Andrew Gelston Graham would have…
“The Nutty Professor” subject Peter McGraw’s provocative Benign Violation Theory (BVT), which seeks to explain all of comedy, has been generating a lot of attention (including a story in Wired).

The Internet has dramatically changed how we learn. In some ways, the change has been worse than others, considering that students are sometimes Googling their way to a diploma; see Melanie Asmar’s story, “Passing on Education”. But on the plus side, access to knowledge is now in students’ hands. The…
Let’s get this out of the way first: Yes, any person in this country should be able to express their opinion to a cop — even if that opinion is unsavory and even if the person uses foul language — without getting arrested for it. You can, but it doesn’t…
Mary Torres, 27, is accused of leaving a trail of destruction in her wake yesterday — not the least of which was the house she crashed into after she allegedly stole a Jeep with two children inside. The kids are okay, but Torres definitely isn’t, given the array of charges…
Much like Denver’s City Park, the celery plant has a long history of being all things to all people. While the celery plant has been used to embalm King Tut, decorate Greek athletes, flavor Italian meatballs and as a conduit for spray cheese, equally versatile City Park has been home…
When last we heard from losing 2010 gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes, he was calling Tom Tancredo a big bully. Since then, there’s been radio silence — but Maes hasn’t been idle. In the past few weeks, he’s managed to write a book in which he promises to set the record…
The Aurora Police Department hasn’t formally named Alan Geisler, 46, as a suspect in the death of his common-law wife. However, the APD is asking for the public’s help in tracking him down following a grim discovery at a home on the 18000 block of East Pacific Place…
