Dog days of Denver
That's my dog, Zoey; she gives puppy kisses on command. Zoey is a Staffordshire Terrier. She falls into the pit bull category, which includes three kinds of dogs: the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. These dogs, and any dog that looks like a pit bull, are banned from Denver. The animal's actual behavior is not considered-just the breed-when terminating their existence. more >>>
It's a popular political battle cry. Deep Throat advised Woodward and Bernstein to trace the dough flow if they wanted to solve the Watergate mystery.

Autumn is approaching quickly and the floating dreaminess allowed by the relaxation and exhaustive contemplation of authentic summer vibes is desperately needed. Usually some song appears to invoke these feelings, but this summer nothing had the right feel. That is, until Amadou & Mariam came along. more >>>
A second album can be the scariest to release, especially if the first one was a success. But, with a name like Comeback Kid, it should be no problem, right? Wrong. Even aptly- named bands aren't safe from the dreaded "sophomore slump." more >>>
