After more than 11 weeks, over 250 witnesses and 1,500 pieces of photographic evidence, the Colorado jury tasked with deciding whether James Holmes was insane or not when he murdered 12 people and wounded 70 in the Aurora theater shooting has reached a guilty verdict. Holmes was charged on 165 counts total, nearly all…

A Steamboat Springs, Colorado woman has been charged with felony theft and “unauthorized use of a financial device” for allegedly embezzling more than $23,000 from her employer. Jamie Hart, who worked for an excavation company, is accused of spending $10,000 of the money on calls to psychic hotlines. Many, many calls…
Hey, remember that subsidized-IUDs-for-teens program in Colorado? The one that many credit with dramatically reducing the teen pregnancy rate? Well, an attempt to get it state funding just bit the dust in a Republican-controlled state legislature committee. Of course! Because who gives a shit about actually reducing…
An eight-year-old kid in Colorado thought he found a balloon on his school’s playground and did what any kid would instinctively do: put it in his mouth to blow up and play with.

In the midst of Tuesday night's many and layered disappointments, at least we have this: both North Dakota and Colorado voters decided overwhelmingly to reject "personhood" measures, nakedly obvious attempts to outlaw abortion by conferring new rights on fetuses. But at the same time, because nothing good came out of…

It’s official, this is the Week Of Fools. They are everywhere, even *sarcastic gasp* in the form of a Republican trying to remember the term for ... you know, that thing that stops women from getting pregnant. They're always up in arms about it ... oh yeah, birth control!
