Our featured Twit this week goes by the handle @pugofwar on Twitter, and Ef Rodriguez most other places. When he’s not busy blogging (on his own blog and for the Huffington Post), he can be found playing World of Warcraft, organizing events such as Boco.me and Ignite Boulder, or engaging…
Some blogs about Denver, written in Denver. Or at least we think so. Colorado Pols finds evidence that Scott McInnis, who just shaved his mustache and looks as if he’s tinted his locks, “has tinkered with his hair color ever since he’s been in politics.” We vote for purple streaks…
Officials charged with regulating the booming medical marijuana business — like members of Denver City Council, who approved an ordinance last night — are feeling heat from more than just weed advocates like attorney Rob Corry, who’s considering legal action to stop the council’s rules from going into effect. Also…
At this hour, multiple news agencies, including Channel 4 and the Denver Post, are reporting that Denver mayor John Hickenlooper will run for Colorado governor, with an announcement anticipated this afternoon. The move is the biggest surprise since the sun came up this morning. It’s been abundantly clear that Hickenlooper…
View Larger Map Predictably, those good news stories about the murder rate in Denver being down in 2009 have been followed by bloodshed aplenty. Example: two homicides took place late last night near the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Adams Street, an area captured in the graphic above…
On Friday, Late Late Show laff-maker Craig Ferguson talked about his impending trip to Denver, a city that makes him poop funny. But as last night’s program proved, he survived this fecal mutation — and, as a bonus, he came away with a new plan to take over the city…
Most medical marijuana backers are up in arms about the weed rules passed by Denver City Council last night — including attorney Rob Corry, who says he may form a coalition to sue over the regulations. But Matt Brown, head of Coloradans for Medical Marijuana Regulations, who was profiled in…
Yesterday, the Denver City Council passed rules intended to regulate the burgeoning medical marijuana industry — and most members of the overflow crowd weren’t happy with what went down. That includes Rob Corry, an attorney and medical marijuana advocate. In a previous blog, Corry made it clear he would consider…
“For the first time in years, people in Denver are abusing marijuana more than any other drug,” trumpeted a January 8 Channel 9 investigative story on citywide drug stats. That’s quite the announcement. Too bad the story itself is filled with more useless junk than a baggie of ditch weed…
Yesterday, CNNMoney confirmed that Google News hasn’t added any new Associated Press content since just before Christmas — “a sign that contract negotiations between the two companies may have broken down.” No surprise, given some of the comments made by the AP’s chairman — none other than Dean Singleton, head…
Now that Denver City Council has approved a set of medical marijuana rules, the next major deliberative body in Colorado to take on the topic will be the state legislature. But there’s no clear map for the legislature to follow, what with Senator Chris Romer scrapping most of his heavily…
When, in this post-9/11 world, we hear a story about a plane making an unscheduled landing due to the actions of a man with a name that sounds Middle Eastern, most of us instantly think: Where was he hiding the explosives, and did he burn his balls trying to light…
La La Vazquez, former MTV veejay and fiance of Nuggets starter Carmelo Anthony, knows a bit about love-themed reality shows — especially the VH1 kind that star gold-toothed-’80s-rappers-who-once-had-relations-with-the-Russian-chick-from-Rocky IV and crazy bitches who cat-fight other crazy bitches. But is she planning to produce a reality show of her own? Word…
Thomas Leurck is from Superior — but that doesn’t mean either his dog or his wife see him as a superior guy. Leurck was reportedly busted in December for kicking his six-year-old beagle, Tikka, so hard that it had to undergo surgery. He soon wound up in jail, where he…
It wasn’t quite pop art, but close — and readers and viewers everywhere are chugging it down. This weekend, Channel 9 reported about bottles of Gatorade on local store shelves featuring a photo of Tiger Woods and his wife and the word “Unfaithful” — an art project pulled off by…
Despite what Craig Ferguson says, reading Denver blogs won’t make you poop funny. Colorado Pols sees plenty of signs that John Hickenlooper will soon launch a bid for Colorado’s governorship — including Republican boss Dick Wadhams dubbing him “Hickenritter.” Which is not nearly as funny a name as “Dick Wadhams.”…
Watching the first round of the NFL playoffs this weekend, one thought kept flashing through my mind: Thank goodness the Broncos aren’t playing. Don’t get me wrong. As a Colorado native, Broncos fandom is part of my DNA, and after the team shocked me, and the rest of the football…
According to the New York Times, Colorado is America — at least when it comes to our opinion of health-care reform. Which ain’t too positive right now. “In Colorado, Craving Reform of Health Care and Congress,” published yesterday, quotes an array of average folks in Denver and Fort Collins with…
Craig Ferguson, host of CBS’s Late Late Show, specializes in oversharing — an approach that frequently leads to comic gold. He did so again in this past Friday’s broadcast, when he mentioned that he planned to spend the weekend in Denver. Why? It was a secret, he says in the…
On Friday, we shared with you a letter by attorney Rob Corry shredding Senator Chris Romer’s latest draft of a measure to regulate the medical marijuana industry. Shortly thereafter, Romer backed away from the bill even as he argued that medical marijuana advocates may soon face greater restrictions because of…
The study of neighbors through their lawn ornaments… Figure 45. Harvey Park: The Maltese Falcons hint at a gardener who may be digging with a Sam Spade. The yard art pictured in figure 45 looks like a folksy, old-timer style of garden display, until the viewer notices the blood-red paint…
