      MillerCoors Taps Chicago for New Headquarters

      Obama Planning Huge Convention Rally

      Barack Obama isn’t canceling the last day of the Democratic National Convention, as was rumored earlier this week—he’s turning it into a massive rally at the Denver Bronco’s Invesco Field, sources tell the Los Angles Times. Obama is confident he can fill the 76,000-seat stadium for his acceptance speech—the Pepsi Center, where the first 3 days of the convention are being held, holds just 19,000—but some worries remain about security and the possibility of rain.

      Group Backs Preflight Toke

      Denver has a pretty lax marijuana policy (small amounts are legal) and pro-pot advocates are wondering whether, after a recent rash of "air rage" incidents, such permissiveness shouldn’t extend to the city airport’s smoking lounge, CW2 News reports. “This madness has got to stop,” said a proponent. “And we're providing a very viable solution.” More »
