ROCKIES AT 12:30 So this will be quick.
I AGREE WITH KYLE CLARK And I think this is like three times this year alone so maybe I need to get checked out. JK, he's just been right three times this year, that's all. This time he's right about the dumb pedestrian bridge over Lincoln that Governor Polis has decided he must have. Watch Kyle take it apart here.
He's right, this is dumb. Just yesterday I tweeted this out:
And that homeless guy who was wandering aimlessly through the intersection is not going to use a pedestrian bridge. And if it doesn't help traffic it serves no purpose, which is the point Kyle makes with excellent snark. It's a no from me.
DICK MONFORT PUTS HIS KID IN CHARGE Of the Rockies. I'm sure this will help their current .225 winning percentage. No chance of that, because he won't take over until 2026. Read more here if you want.
COVID VACCINES REDUCED FERTILITY BY A THIRD And this is not good news. A study on successful gestation in women in the Czech Republic showed that vaccinated women had less fertility than unvaccinated one. This could be devastating to mankind in the near future. Read more here.
STATES CAN STOP GIVING MONEY TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD The US Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban Medicaid from sending dollars to Planned Parenthood. I'm fine with this even if Colorado will probably give them MORE money now just because. Read more here.
POLICE NAB A DUDE ON CHERRY CREEK WITH A MACHETE He seems nice. Read more here.
AURORA HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD ABOUT And this is a great column about why. Read it here.
THE BOULDER ANTISEMITE IS FACING HATE CRIME CHARGES And I hope this guy rots in jail. The illegal Egyptian immigrant who set elderly Jews on FIRE in Boulder is now facing federal hate crime charges.
ELBERT COUNTY TELLS XCEL ENERGY NO And I have their back on this. The issue was a massive power line to connect the wind farms down south with the Denver metro area. Elbert gets none of that energy and they asked Xcel to move the line out of the middle of the country and Xcel said no so Elbert said no back. Read more here.
THE NEXT JAMES BOND FILM HAS A DIRECTOR Even if it has no leading man yet. The same director who made Dune will helm the next project.
FOOD COMPANIES ARE GETTING AHEAD OF RFK JR With more and more of them announcing the exit of artificial food dyes from their products. What I don't understand is why it takes two years to make that happen.
SORRY GEN Z, GREEN ENERGY IS HELLA EXPENSIVE And this column should be a wakeup call to the Keep It In the Ground generation. If they want to be able to afford their power bills they should probably pipe down.
PAYWALLS AREN'T WORKING FOR NEWS A new Pew survey shows that when most of us hit a paywall when we are reading the news we simply go elsewhere. Just 1% of people who hit a paywall actually pay to get the information they were seeking. Not good news for media outlets trying to find ways to stay afloat.
THE US IS MORE RELIGIOUS THAN MOST OTHER DEVELOPED NATIONS Pew did a whole bunch of surveys and you should check the results here.
SORRY THIS IS SO SHORT But I had a very busy morning.
