Every week is craft-beer week in Colorado — but it wasn't always like that, and some states are still fighting against laws that limit homebrewers, taprooms and other pillars of the independent beer company.

We all know it: Daylight Saving Time sucks. Like Columbus discovering America and diamonds coming from coal, the story of daylight savings—that we did it for farmers—is complete bullshit. The true origins lie somewhere between wartime, energy conservation, and politics; farmers, in fact, were staunchly against it as a practice, so the fact that they became blamed for it is insult to injury.Daylight Saving Time isn’t the only thing that remains part of American culture out of sheer inertia. The great John Oliver has a superb occasional feature called “How Is this Still a Thing?” that covers ridiculousness like Daylight Saving Time, including everything from Columbus Day to the popularity of Ayn Rand to pennies. But it’s not just tradition that sometimes sticks us with a terrible and yet still voluntary mess—sometimes, we see the pothole, and we drive over the damn thing anyway, wrecking our national alignment. Here’s a list of other disasters we’ve gotten ourselves into…you know, if we really insist.

A federal lawsuit against Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and other city officials, filed by one of Hizzoner's former best buds and top advisors, has been dismissed by U.S. District Court Judge John Kane -- just when filings in the case were getting interesting.

Update: Four years ago next month, thirteen-year-old Dylan Redwine disappeared in southwestern Colorado, where he'd traveled for a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine.
