#21 of the 22 Major Arcana: Ken Buck, Rejuvenation…..

In January, we profiled former FEMA director Michael Brown — the man about whom President George W. Bush said, “Heckuva job, Brownie” circa the Hurricane Katrina response — after he was named a fulltime KOA talk-show host. But Brown doesn’t think Barack Obama has done a heckuva job dealing with…

Unlike Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis, whose most prominent charitable donation appears to be elk meat, Democratic candidate John Hickenlooper has released tax returns showing that he’s doled out $2.8 million over the years. He’s just not saying to whom, which set off KHOW’s Dan Caplis during Hick’s appearance on…

Over the past several years, northwest Denver has been the site of heated clashes over new development, struggling schools and other hot-button issues — and the political pot got stirred into a frenzy when Denver City Council District representative Rick Garcia split for a gig with the U.S. Department of…

It’s too soon to start putting a figure on the damage — to marine life, tourism, fishing industries and more — from the 600-square-mile oil slick oozing onto the Gulf Coast today. And it’s too early in the investigation to know anything conclusive about the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon…

It’s a critical time for Andrew Romanoff’s senatorial candidacy. There are no more caucus straw polls to win or county assemblies to ring up. And rival Michael Bennet’s decision to petition his way onto the primary ballot (one Republican Jane Norton soon mimicked) makes the May 22 convention mighty anticlimactic…

Mayor and (nearly) Governor John Hickenlooper says, “Welcome Illegal Immigrants!” What benefits will they receive? Look below to find out:…

Yesterday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis made a big splash by saying he’d like to bring Arizona’s controversial new immigration law to Colorado. McInnis followed up comments on KHOW morning host Peter Boyles’s talk show with press availabilities aplenty, including one that led to a page-one, above-the-fold story on today’s…

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis likes Arizona’s controversial new immigration law a whole lot more than does Representative Jared Polis, who told Politico that requiring immigrants to have their papers on them at all times is “absolutely reminiscent of second class status of Jews in Germany prior to World War…

AM-760 host David Sirota, posting on ColoradoPols.com, shares a timely item that helps contextualize Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’s assertion that he’d like to bring Arizona’s controversial immigration law to Colorado — an opinion expressed on KHOW this morning and via his spokesman, Sean Duffy, in a just-published Westword interview…

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis has been spending plenty of time on KHOW’s airwaves lately. On Monday, for instance, he attempted to counter suggestions that he’s not especially charitable during an appearance on the Caplis & Silverman show by telling how he’d killed an elk and given its meat to…

On April 1, we told you about a ProgressNow Colorado petition signed by more than 8,000 people who oppose Colorado Attorney General John Suthers’ decision to join a lawsuit challenging the legality of the new health-care law. Well, guess what? Today, Lu Busse, chair of the 9.12 Project Colorado Coalition,…

Yes, it’s the season for blustery rhetoric and high-pressure posturing down at the statehouse. But few stunts can match, for sheer unintended hilarity, this recent blast from Colorado Senate Republicans, denouncing a bill to restore voting rights to state parolees as a conspiracy by Dems to stuff the ballot boxes…

#20 of the 22 Major Arcana: Stan Garnett, the Sun…..

A blog from the Huffington Post yesterday certainly sports a grabby headline. It reads: “Tom Tancredo Says Arizona Immigration Law Goes Too Far, Still Supports It.” The problem with this take, which has replicated rapidly across the web in the last 24 hours? According to Tancredo, it’s completely inaccurate. “Russell…

There’s a reason political campaigns are known as the silly season… Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has been bedeviled by implications that he’s not very charitable since at least last August, when he came unglued during an appearance on KHOW’s Caplis & Silverman show when questioned about an allegedly broken…
