As the Republican National Convention gets underway next Tuesday in Tampa Bay President Barack Obama just announced that he will in fact hold a rally in Fort Collins this coming Tuesday.

So the burning question in our minds is what is going to happen to James Holmes.  And why did he not kill himself?  I can’t remember the last time someone did something like this and didn’t kill themselves in the end. This tells me, along with the smirk on his face and the way he was caught, that he…

Unthinkable! Today I am just at a loss for words how a senseless tragedy can unfold the way this massacre in Denver last night took place during the Midnight screening of “Batman.”  I have found an audio file on the actual police calls starting with the very first call.  Be warned I have not listene…

Sylvester Stallone is a “wreck” according to sources as he finds out that his 36 year old son Sage has been found dead.

It’s true…The Greeley City Council is thinking about creating a downtown “Entertainment District” that would allow patrons to move openly with open containers of alcohol.  No pun intended…
