Colorado Border School sounds like an illegal immigration forum. But founder Pam Faraone, a chaplain with the Southwest Border Sheriffs Coalition in Texas, insists that’s not the case. “Border School really isn’t about immigration,” she says. “It is the rest of the story about the issues of border security.”…
With so many Colorado cities and counties banning medical marijuana dispensaries on election day, many MMJ patients across the states will be put in the position of growing their own cannabis.

If the Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, their season won’t be officially over, but close enough — and at 2-6, Denver hasn’t give fans much reason to hope of late. But it wasn’t always that way, as our following video roundup of ten great Broncos moments…
Carmelo Anthony wasn’t always at his best against the L.A. Lakers last night. He vacillated between focused/unstoppable and scattered/ineffective. But he came through when it mattered most, showing the NBA’s most elite player, Kobe Bryant, that he belongs in the discussion of the league’s best. The result was a 118-112…
After two weeks of outraged protests and threats of boycott, Amazon finally pulled a self-published e-book by a Pueblo man that proposed certain “non-injurious rules” for pedophiles to follow in their molestation of children.

This week’s cover story, “Disappearing Act,” examines the difficulties of enforcing Colorado’s anti-human smuggling law, which was passed in 2006. Though the law was well-intentioned, prosecuting the alleged smugglers has proven tough. As such, many smugglers end up taking plea deals that result in little to no jail time before…
Amy Angelilli and the folks at the Rocky Mountain Alley Cat Alliance’s Feline Fix have come up with some hilarious ways to fight pussy overpopulation, including Tom Cat Condoms.

From the outside, and even once you walk in, not much appears to have changed at The Releaf Center since our Mae Coleman first visited back in September of 2009. The bars on the front windows are gone, but they still have ample floor space, a dance-studio mirrored wall in…
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s rejection of nearly 2,000 medical marijuana patients’ licenses prompted talk of potential lawsuits from MMJ advocacy groups. But the dynamic changed at yesterday’s meeting of the CDPHE’s medical marijuana advisory committee, when the department temporarily backed off its earlier pronouncement…
The West Highland neighborhood is the home of the (former) Elitch Gardens Amusement park and hotbed of Denver Democratic politics. So it’s only fitting that the icon shown above would include a reference to a historic carousel. The rotating rides may have left the streetcar suburb when Elitch’s was relocated…
Speaker Designee Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, thinks Republican candidates are selling like hot-cakes, so he has jacked the the House and created a huge flap by renaming committees to better represent the priorities of the Republican Party…
In his recent post about Lego Universe, Joel Warner noted that the game wowed most critics, but those at the giant IGN site were lukewarm, giving a score of 5 on a 10 scale. That prompted a rant from one reader, who notes that IGN critics don’t always complete games…

Yesterday, the Sleeper house — the Colorado mountain home made famous by Woody Allen’s 1973 film Sleeper — sold at auction for $1.53 million — less than half of the $3.43 million Michael Dunahay paid for it four years ago. But if it hasn’t held its value, it remains an…
Update: On October 15, Aurora Police investigating a home robbery tracked down a suspect at the Crestwood Suites on East Evans — and subsequently discovered the body of Michael Pinkus, 51, who owned the home in question. Now, the APD has arrested three men — Steven Bassett, Robert Harper and…
Remember when, after one too many tequila shots, you confessed your undying love all over your ex’s Facebook wall? Or how you posted a YouTube vid of a certain projectile-vomiting incident right after it happened? Or how your drunken tweets ended up on Text From Last Night — three times…
In 2006, Colorado passed what lawmakers called “the toughest immigration laws in the nation.” Among them was a law that made it a state crime to smuggle humans. Four years later, Westword takes a look at whether that law is working. As detailed in this week’s cover story, “Disappearing Act,”…
The evil bigots and homophobes from the Kansas-based, Fred Phelps-led Westboro Baptist Church have a habit of saying they’re going to picket something positive or sacred and then not bothering to show up. This scenario played out again in Durango yesterday, with love attending and hate playing hooky…
Three Denver blog posts right here. Mile High Report fan poster BroncoHawkeye thinks Josh McDaniels deserves a couple more years to prove himself. Gulp! People’s Press Collective’s Mr. Bob offers an animated happy birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps. As Colorado Pols notes, the 2012 election will have no senate…
