Calling Joe Walsh

The Rocky Mountain News has officially lost its Rocky Mountain Way. I understand that tomorrow when the paper closes, the reporters and editors will build a jury-rig mountain out of desks and chairs, shoot a snow machine at it for 10 minutes, then ski down the peak and out the front doors in protest.

And according to Pew Research Center polling data, Denver is the most desirable city to call home in America.

How desirable can a city be when it loses one of its two major newspapers? (RMN daily circulation stood at 255,000 three years ago.) Wait, don't answer that...

Crazy!!! Just saw that. I cannot believe it. On an up-note, The Politico is probably the only paper in the country still hiring. Woo Hoo!
