Yesterday’s free-joint giveaway on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, staged by opponents of marijuana tax measure Proposition AA, didn’t include Vice President Joe Biden, who’d been invited by co-organizer Rob Corry to take part in between tours of areas devastated by recent flooding. The Biden angle, and the latest rally, has…
Last week, we shared with you five nice/nasty definitions of five Colorado cities — Boulder, Greeley, Vail, Grand Junction and Denver — on Urban Dictionary. But those were hardly the only places from our fair state to get the sometimes on-point/often flat-out-crazy treatment from the site’s inspired definers. Look below…
Last night, the Denver City Council approved a $360,000 settlement over a 2009 incident at the Denver Diner, during which four women were billy-clubbed and maced by Officers Ricky Nixon and Kevin Devine, both of whom are still members of the department.

We’re still collecting comments on Patricia Calhoun’s post about an aborted plan by the Denver Police Department to allow officers to distribute Bibles. Many of our commenters feel this would have been inappropriate, but not all. Take this reader, for instance…
Denver blog posts are masters of suspense. Mile High Report’s Tim Lynch thinks Von Miller’s alleged urine-swapping scheme means he deserved his six-game suspension. Colorado Peak Politics takes on what it calls the “liberals’ big lie on disaster-relief funding.” At Denver Urbanism, Dan Malouf ranks Colorado’s nine Amtrak by ridership…
The 2014 elections may seem a long way off, but not to Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Hogue came to Colorado to speak at a weekend fundraiser for Colorado NARAL that attracted numerous political heavyweights. But she’s sticking around today to meet with locally based activists, in order…
The numbers of those still unaccounted for after the flooding that devastated the Front Range continue to fall. Over the weekend in Larimer County, for instance, the total dropped from sixty to six. But while that’s certainly good news overall, it’s accompanied by plenty of concerns about whether those who…
We’ve assembled two previous collections of Raiders suck memes, most recently in May, when Charles Woodson chose to sign with Oakland rather than Denver. But in just a few months, Memes Nation have come up with a whole batch of new ways to say that the Raiders suck — and…
As we’ve reported, a protest against marijuana taxation measure Proposition AA is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. today on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, complete with free joints for attendees. The event, and an invitation for Vice President Joe Biden to participate, has already come under fire from the…
While mug shots vary widely from community to community, jurisdiction to jurisdiction, they usually share one quality: The person they picture is centered in the frame. Not so school-bust driver Burton Carpenter. In the image seen here, and in a larger version below, he appears to be supporting himself by…
Earlier this month, a group opposed to Proposition AA, the measure to establish tax rates on recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, staged a rally at Civic Center Park during which attendees were given free joints.

Predominantly Orange’s Kim Constantinesco shares Peyton Manning’s reflections on his ol’ buddy, retiring Rocky Todd Helton. Colorado Peak Politics on the fifty riches members of Congress and the…
Yesterday’s post about Chris “Birdman” Andersen being cleared of wrongdoing related to an Internet Crimes Against Children investigation, and revelations that he’d been doubled-Catfished in an online scheme, brought out fans confident he’d been innocent all along. Here’s one example…
“Please drive carefully and be aware of the road closures,” reads a post on the Weld County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. “Driving around barricades is dangerous and illegal.” Stupid, too, as evidenced by these WCSO photos of what happened when a driver figured a bridge in the area was more…
What area suffered the worst damage in the recent Front Range flooding? One candidate is the Fourmile-and-Salina area captured in the following photos shared by Boulder County. The destruction is positively astonishing. Continue to see what we mean…

The numbers are constantly changing when it comes to the devastating floods in Colorado — and unfortunately, the latest alteration involves an increase of the fatality total in both Boulder County and the state as a whole.

Big Media’s Jason Salzman says Scott Gessler contradicted his own office’s policies when he said Coloradans can vote anywhere. The Redheaded…
