Copyright lawsuits filed by Nevada’s Righthaven LLC on behalf of the Denver Post against chronically ill, autistic blogger Brian Hill and others have thrown a scare into plenty of local website operators. Like the man behind Rocky Mountain Right, Sean Harrington, overseer of KnowYourCourts.com, which features court documents that could…
Even the most optimistic among us probably didn’t think the Nuggets would win four of five following the Carmelo Anthony trade, let alone that the latest margin of victory (versus the Bobcats) would be forty points. But that’s reality: Denver is playing its best basketball of the season with Melo…
Roughly four out of every ten prisoners in solitary confinement in Colorado is either developmentally disabled or mentally ill, a figure that’s been rising steadily over the past decade. Senate Bill 176, headed for a statehouse committee review later this week, seeks to drastically reduce that number — and slash…
Blood spots on your sheets. Tiny black dots of fecal matter clustered on the edge of your mattress. Piles of translucent skins. Bunches of white eggs the size of dust specks. Itchy bites. All of these revolting clues point to the conclusion that your bed is infested with bedbugs –…
Now serving three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs fan poster nugsncowboys thinks J.R. Smith and Ray Felton should start over Ty Lawson and Arron Afflalo. Do you? Read about Colorado Ethics Watch’s complaint against former Jeffco commissioner Kevin McCasky. Denver PR Blog touts Colorado Public Radio’s instrument drive. Because it’s…
You might recall the hubbub back in 2009 when news broke that Duane “Dog” Chapman and his Dog the Bounty Hunter crew had apparently been shot at while attempting to apprehend a bail jumper in Colorado Springs. But now, the man arrested following the April 21, 2009 incident is suing…
Talk about timing. The day after a hearing about a proposed medical marijuana edibles industry ban that was modified to target allegedly misleading MMJ labels (featuring a probably mythical product called Cap’n Chronic), Casselman’s will host an “awareness mixer” for the Unconventional Foundation for Autism, which touts the use of…
Late last month, a seventeen-year-old student at John F. Kennedy High School was arrested in connection with an alleged sexual assault against a fellow JFK attendee, age fourteen. During lunch. In the school’s basement. Look below to see a Denver District Attorney’s Office release on the incident, plus a 9News…
The comments are still accumulating on our post about Representative Cindy Acree’s defense of a medical marijuana edibles industry ban. Most readers oppose the measure, but one doesn’t dismiss her concerns out of hand — although his or her pen name encourages speculation about the post’s angle…
The King Soopers at 9th and Corona isn’t just a supermarket: It’s a cultural institution. That’s why our pals at the Cafe Society blog have posted a photo gallery of the newly remodeled store — and why we’re giving away a $50 King Soopers gift certificate in celebration of this…
In a Monday interview about HB 1250, co-sponsoring Representative Cindy Acree said the bill would outlaw the medical marijuana edibles business. But between her Westword interview and yesterday’s hearing, the focus switched from a total ban to marketing and labeling — and according to MMJ attorney Warren Edson, law enforcement…
Update: The victim in this week’s slaying at the Rocky Mountain Motel on West Colfax in Lakewood has been ID’d as Danysha Turnbough, age 31. Raymond Marcus Sandoval remains in custody in relation to this crime. Look below to see the latest Lakewood Police Department release, followed by our previous…
Colorado Representative Jared Polis is a politician unafraid to do the unconventional — like, for instance, beer bonging with Stephen Colbert. So it’s no surprise he eagerly signed up to compete against IBM supercomputer and Ken Jennings-vanquisher Watson in a special Congressional Jeopardy exhibition. No, it wasn’t televised, doubtless to…
The Denver Zoo is $7 million short of the $50 million it needs to complete its biggest project ever: Asian Tropics, a new exhibit that will house up to twelve endangered Asian elephants. And to reach its goal, the zoo has zeroed in on a category of philanthropists who are…
Operation Fortune Cookie began with the state’s largest weed bust — 24,000 marijuana plants in 25 north metro homes — but imploded among suspicions of snitches, paid-off politicians and secret investigations. The latest twist? A court filing suggests Thornton Commander Dante Carbone may have been the prime suspect in the…
Gather round, all ye Denver blog post seekers. Mile High Report’s fan poster rossiya asks fans if the Broncos should invite newly released Clinton Portis back into the fold. The overwhelming response thus far? No. At Colorado Education News, Peter Huidekoper Jr. reveals what Dostoevsky can teach us about unions…
Yes, it’s the latest meaningless survey that still somehow makes us feel good about ourselves. The Kauffman Foundation has declared Colorado to be America’s third smartest state, behind only Massachusetts and Maryland — both of which are kinda stuck up, frankly. Look below for the Colorado salute, which mentions lots…
Who’da thunk the Nuggets would be playing so well following the Carmelo Anthony trade? And each night, it seems as if another new Nug steps up. Against the Boston Celtics, Wilson Chandler shone — and in last night’s 100-90 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Raymond Felton demonstrated his value in…
It’s as if the planets suddenly came into alignment — but in a truly disgusting way. Yes, friends, we bring you two, count ’em, two thoroughly repulsive stories with Colorado connections involving jails and shit. Paul Kausalik and Abram Boise, come on down!…
Our post about an eleven-year old arrested after drawing a stick-figure sketch featuring a gun has stirred up a passionate debate about the wisdom (or lack thereof) demonstrated by this response. Here’s one particularly strong post…
Remember Kathleen Folden, the Montana trucker with a deep hatred for “Romantic Cannibals,” a multi-panel work by California’s Enrique Chagoya on display at the Loveland Museum/Gallery? The one who said “God is real” right after she’d taken a crowbar to the piece, which appears to show Jesus receiving oral sex?…
We recently told you about HB 1250, a bill that appeared to ban the medical marijuana edibles industry in Colorado. Since then, there’s been debate among MMJ community members — fueled in part by articles like this — about whether or not that was true. But in advance of today’s…
