A mighty wind: True, the Northern Lights have become more frequent in the last few years over Southwestern Colorado, typically the outermost limit of their reach. But not to worry, this is not the end times, at least as far as celestial events go.; Read More

Thumbin' It

A spectacular and rare display of the Northern Lights was seen all over Colorado and the U.S. this week – the strongest showing in 20 years. We're taking it as a sign of light from the universe. Hey, it's all we got right now.

From the looks of it, Trump has turned the White House into some sort of Beverly Hillbillies Hall of Versailles. We haven't seen that much tacky faux gold since "Dynasty" in the '80s.

During most Milli Vanilli performances, Fab Morvan, on the left, was the dude lip-syncing. He won a Grammy with his silent partner 35 years ago, but it was revoked nine months later due to all the fakeness. And now that it’s 2025 when nothing really matters anymore, Fab has been nominated for another Grammy, which could make him the only “artist” to win for the first time twice. Fab’s category this year is “best audio book recording,” but standing in his way are the other nominees, which include Supreme Court Justice KBJ and the Dalai Lama.
