Update from a posting on “Westword:”
Michael Roberts says:
Good question. Here’s the response from Carol Kreck herself, who responded via e-mail:
“The July 23 date was reset for July 30. But yesterday, the lawyer who’s handling the criminal part said the city attorney called with an offer of fee or diversion. Of course, there’s no way [...]

Nothing new here, of course. Even Drudge picked up the so-called “Black national anthem,” being sung by jazz vocalist Rene Marie at the Hick’s State of the City address.
I guess if I’d been there I would have expected the Hick, or more likely ol’ Charlie Brown, to grab the mike from the gal and lead [...]

Denver always was the rootingest town for blood-thirsty assemblages. The citizens never–to my knowledge–failed to risk life or limb in behalf of witnessing a lynching, a gun-duel, a foot-race between an adulterer and his beloved’s husband, or any other spicy drama involving mayhem and assault on the person. After a fray, there usually were three [...]

A curious piece from Colorado Independent on the city’s winky-wink hyperbole with regard to assuring us all that Denver’s homeless will be treated pretty much no differently than they are today when the Democrats come to town in August.
The scene on the left was captured in 2005 when David and I hiked downtown early [...]

Latest update from the Denver Business Journal (June 16) reports the Denver police department is purchasing eighty-eight crowd control weapons, ammunitions and accessories for crowd control purposes at the DNC. These weapons fire round balls filled with pepper spray irritants and explode upon impact. Yahoo Finance reports on the same purchase indicating the purchase order [...]

I have a friend who claims he hasn’t read a newspaper or watched the nightly/daily/24-7 news in a decade. He figures if he needs to know something, if there is something out there that affects his life directly he’ll hear about it from somebody or, indeed, it will affect his daily life. He’s given-up on [...]

Nothing new to report here that most don’t already know. Yes, Kim Bailey, Denver’s Manager of Parks and Recreation is moving on, getting out of that kitchen where the heat just, well, got a little too intense. As Mayor Hickenlooper waxed nostalgic about Ms. Bailey’s exit (on to a position with the non-profit Outward Bound), [...]

There is a tenet in public procurement–probably private procurement, as well–that the procurement authority becomes the advocate for the most responsive, responsible, qualified proposer/bidder as determined either through a bid or an RFP process. The procurement authority champions, if you will, the most responsive, responsible, qualified proposer/bidder not so much as a matter of collaboration, [...]

“Booster Bawb,” Robert W. Speer, Mayor of Denver, 1904-1912, 1916-1918.
Following my initial entry on this topic, and watching the tortuous disintegration of a cohesive national Democratic Party, I thought it would be if not instructive, at least interesting to take a look at Denver, circa 1906-08. 1908 was, of course, when the Democracy first [...]
