Tom Tancredo is out. If you have been accidentally breaking the law (like me) by donating wine baskets to your local charity for the silent auction, there might be hope for you, lawbreaker. The defense of the continuous citations of this flawed poll from our illustrious media? "It is what it is." Oh, good.

Big court win for free speech in Colorado. Rep. Steve Lebsock has decided that he wasn't getting enough attention lately, so he's decided to channel Mr. Smith (the one that went to Washington, not the contract killer unwittingly married to another contract killer) and it's annoying his fellow Democrats. Oh, Joe Salazar. Sigh.

There has been a lot of press coverage about Cory Gardner's supposed major approval number drop. But before you lament, (or crow) about it too much, read this thread. The Democrat primaries are everywhere this year. Rep. Paul Rosenthal is now facing multiple primary challengers.  Speaking of primaries, conservative Senator Ray Scott will be facing a primary

Sad trombone: Jason Crow tried (and failed) to score political points by calling on Mike Coffman to do something he'd already done. The stunt just made Crow look politically opportunistic. It seems like now we need a regulatory framework for sake? That's the next big thing? Or something. National (but keep your eyes on this one): In case

Well, Governor Hickenlooper undermined Colorado's bid for Amazon saying that if we didn't get it, it would be a "relief" and then said he's just joking. Yeech. Want to know where to find the next wave of economic growth in Colorado? Look north, my friends. Speaking of up north, looks like one state Senate candidate in Larimer

Even The Denver Post editorial board thinks this bag tax is a terrible idea. Have you signed our petition against it yet? Rep. Paul Rosenthal is running a bill to require HOAs accept "dangerous breed" dogs. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if he's done the research to figure out why some of those restrictions exist in the

One of the workers on the Denver VA Hospital told his story. It's a bad sounding story, ya'll. Real bad. Is it a conflict if Denver City Council members get big gifts from the entities whose major contracts they have to vote to approve? Asking for a friend. Tom Steyer (more specifically his money) is back

The Women's March happened again on Saturday. The hats. The signs about genitalia - it was all there. Big changes afoot at the Denver Post. We shall see how it goes . . .  One of the FOUR Democrats running to unseat Ken Buck got an endorsement. You heard that right - even in a longshot district the

We may see a new and improved Energy Office that's leaner, meaner and with a broader scope. This reboot could be a good thing for the office and make it less one-sided. Denver is one of the finalists for the second Amazon corporate headquarters. Looks like the VA will open . . . only it will

Enrollment in charter and online schools report the biggest enrollment increases in Colorado. Have you noticed an increase in your restaurant bills lately? People protested Rep. Steve Lebsock at the Capitol yesterday morning. Also, join us on Facebook and Twitter.
