Westword photog Johnny Molfetta gets around. On the same day he took snaps of a drug-free-pledging kids at the Chatfield corn maze, he captured a tribute to civic obedience by Colorado Progressive Coalition and other groups at the Webb Building. The idea: to encourage folks to vote against ballot measures…
Lookit these three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs’ Andrew Feinstein links to a Marc Spears piece in which Carmelo focuses on change. The guy’s mentally packing. 5280’s Michael de Yoanna wonders: Can WiFi reduce your chances of having a baby? At Colorado Education News, Paul Teske requests fair and balanced…
Yesterday, Colorado online students and their families gathered at the Botanic Gardens corn maze near Chatfield Reservoir to mark Red Ribbon week. There, they were rewarded for making a pledge to stay drug-free with a National Guard helicopter flyover and more. Get a feel for the festivities by checking out…
This dispensary has closed. Stone Mountain Wellness first caught my eye months ago when it took home prizes for top buds at a Boulder cannabis cup. Since that time, the shop has come under new ownership as a member of the Canna Club dispensaries. Among other things, this means the…
Fans angered by the Broncos’ 59-14 loss to the dreaded Oakland Raiders — and by the destruction of the team by Coach Josh McDaniels — will relate to this video, in which a kid responds to a [correction] Chargers loss by wailing, “I hate the Raiders!” over and over again…
Various polls show the U.S. Senate race between Michael Bennet and Ken Buck to be among the nation’s deader heats. That means turnout will likely determine the winner — a situation seemingly to Buck’s advantage, since Republicans are perceived to be more enthusiastic this year and estimates show more GOP…
Earlier this month, attorneys filed a lawsuit against a medical marijuana business ban on the El Paso County ballot — but yesterday, 4th Judicial District Judge Timothy Simmons refused to grant a preliminary injunction preventing the vote from being counted. Not that Bob Hoban, the lawyer heading up the suit,…
Our post about David Sirota’s South Park-inspired poll to determine if Michael Bennet and Ken Buck are a giant douche and a turd sandwich or vice versa brought more serious responses than humorous ones. Today’s featured comment definitely fits into the former category…
Update: The Pitkin County District Attorney’s Office reportedly has no interest in hauling Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen back to Aspen on a charge of violating his probation, even though there are plenty of indications he did so during a hotel-room-trashing NYC bender. But his alleged companion,…
When it came to taking advantage of his employees, Opas Sinprasong, who owned several Boulder-area Siamese Plate restaurants, appears to have been an expert. Sinprasong pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens and failing to pay taxes — offenses likely to result in prison time, a $766,000 fine and deportation to…
Update: From the beginning, John Marks Jr. was the top suspect in the death of his common-law wife, Kathy Adams, better known as Psychic Kay, whose body was found near an Estes Park ravine. But now, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office has formalized the search for Marks, issuing an arrest…
Thanks to Josh McDaniels’ success at destroying the Broncos, exemplified by the team’s 59-14 loss to the Raiders, Denver’s on ESPN’s radar right now. On Tuesday, Pardon the Interruption’s Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon suggested that McDaniels stay in London after this weekend’s San Francisco 49ers matchup, since he won’t…
President Barack Obama’s extended interview on last night’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show had some unexpected Colorado flavor. Not only did he specifically mention Congresswoman Betsy Markey, who’s in a difficult fight against Cory Gardner, but he also referenced former FEMA boss turned Denver talk-show host Michael Brown,…
A lot of us find the experience of waking up and facing the light to be physically painful — although probably not as agonizing as what Boulder’s Sanford Rothman went through the other day. According to the Boulder Police Department, Rothman suffered a gunshot wound while unconscious. And apparently, he…
So you’re happily listening to your custom-made MGMT station on Pandora Radio when suddenly a dude starts talking to you about elections and stuff and a photo of an earnest-looking guy pops into your track listing. What gives? Welcome to the brave new world of political advertising. Secretary of State…
Line up, you three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs’ Andrew Feinstein welcomes George Karl back for the Nug’s regular season debut against the Jazz and predicts big things — so long as Melo sticks around. Colorado Pols: Has Michael Bennet edged ahead of Ken Buck? Denver Egotist presents GuerillaGarden ads…
These days, Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes isn’t getting much love in Colorado, where one poll shows him with just 5 percent support, to the delight of Tom Tancredo. But the national press he’s getting of late may be even uglier, with one major source wondering if he’s the nation’s…
In an unusual court filing, state senator and prominent GOP campaigner Shawn Mitchell states that his battle with anxiety and depression has made it difficult to get work done in his law practice and political life, leading to blown deadlines and missed hearings and campaign events. The affidavit, filed in…
You figured former Fort Collins resident Richard Heene was a little off after that whole Balloon Boy hoax thing that got a little bit of attention a while back, right? But the way he’s pimping his latest money-making plan, the Bear Scratch, is so off-the-charts loony that it makes his…
Our piece yesterday about the Boulder Police Department preparing for a possible Naked Pumpkin Run and revived Boulder Mall Crawl Halloween weekend drew a philosophical comment from one reader. In his opinion, being unexpectedly confronted by a giant image of someone’s special place on a computer screen is considerably more…

Update: Leslie Oliver, campaign spokeswoman for Ed Perlmutter, says a recent attack ad inaccurately claiming that the 7th District congressman supported supplying Viagra to convicted rapists isn’t the first time an outside group called the American Action Network has battered him with a false ad. She stops short of calling…
