Thumbin' It

TABOR checks hitting the mail this week, with Colorado residents receiving about $750 in tax returns. But please, please Colorado Dems – stop taking credit for something that's required by the state's constitution.

The need for an embarrassing correction: We didn't win the Mega Millions, as we predicted we would in last week's issue. But you already knew that, seeing as the paper came out this week.

This Week's Sign of the Downfall

Man, that socks

Kent Slaughter (owner of the coolest name ever) bought some socks at Bass Pro more than five years ago, because they were advertised as “the last pair of socks you’ll ever need” and backed by a lifetime warranty. But they turned out to be just like all other socks, so Kent brought his pair back for a new one every six months after they wore out. But on the last pair of socks, Bass Pro changed the label to reflect only a 60-day warranty, so Kent did the only reasonable thing: file a class action lawsuit against Bass Pro. When asked for comment, Bass Pro said, “this is a stocking development.”
