@KBBColorado When napkins are outlawed only outlaws will have napkins. Is Chic-fil-A sauce still legal?

Welcome to the 2026 edition of the most ridiculous bill run in Colorado… Meet SB26-146, the NAPKIN BAN. If this passes, your local Taco Bell can be fined up to $1,000 for giving you a napkin with your order if you didn’t request it. Yes, you read that right. Oh, and Taco Bell is also banned from giving you hot sauce packets if you didn’t ask or confirm you wanted them. But pho restaurants will get no penalty for giving you hoisin sauce packets. Arby’s sauce is also ok, but your local coffee shop’s creamer or sweetener will be subject to the fine. The bill sponsors chose to make a list of which condiments can’t be given out without being requested, and they clearly don’t frequent certain types of restaurants. Oh yes, they’re also banning cup sleeves on hot coffee unless you ask. So feel free to burn your hands in the name of saving the planet. And no straws with your Coke or Frappuccino either - unless you remember to ask. If Door Dash doesn’t *clearly* communicate what utensils and sauces you want to the restaurant, and the restaurant packs a single unwanted napkin for you, Door Dash AND the restaurant can be fined up to $1,000. Socialist rule at its finest. #copolitics

I knew of Patty long before I ever got the chance to meet her, growing up in Denver and reading Westword. She definitely lived up to the hype. Denver won’t be the same without the watchful eye of its unofficial mayor. Congratulations @calhounwestword on a tremendous run!

@ConorMichael28 @ShadMurib Patty is a legend. Started Westword, as I recall, after college. I’ll always remember that she described her style as Granny Clampett with a bedazzler. 😂 That image has always stuck with me.

My former boss Patty Calhoun just posted to LinkedIn that she'll be retiring as editor of Westword this summer. This will leave a massive hole in the Denver and Colorado journalism community. At least Patty will now get to take her first break from work since the 1970s.

@butterbob They had their chances down the stretch. They played tough tho. Need to hit their FTs! Like what Sundance is putting together.

Tough loss for Wyoming who played well in a tough environment.

@MartyLenzNews @CSURamT Always. Go Pokes!

@CSURamT Okay to root for Wyo? Asking for a friend…🤔

UNLV don't support their team. They never have. They never will. And next year when the MWC is a lesser conference, their support will reflect it as such. So happy they didn't come to the PAC12.

Not sure why dogs keep popping up on Olympic courses but I am here for it.

@GregCorombos I seem to remember an SNL sketch of that primary with Dole calling out Pierre DuPont for going by the name Pete. “Your name is Pierre not Pete. I know it, you know it, the people at home know it.” Or did that really happen?

The 1988 presidential campaign was 38 years ago. On the Dem side, only Jesse Jackson & Paul Simon have passed away. Dukakis, Gephardt, Hart, Gore, & Babbitt are all living. Also Biden, but he dropped out before voting. By contrast, all GOP candidates from 1988 have passed away.

Oh. Colorado's highest-valued company is now a Florida company, apparently.

@SWTubbs @EVT_News @natetubbs51 That’s awesome 👏

@EVT_News @natetubbs51 Go Nate! 👊🤎💛

What’s the best sports moment you witnessed in person?

@alex_m_taylor22 Second one has always looked like it was created with a Commodore 64.

I’ve kept quiet for too long. The Mountain West needs to bring the old logo back.

When you see policy proposals branded as "affordability" that have a striking resemblance to what has been tried in California, just remember Einstein's famous definition of insanity. nypost.com/2026/02/09/us-…

Ronald Reagan was the first U.S. president who had been divorced. His first marriage, to actress Jane Wyman, ended because she chose to walk away. By all accounts, she wasn’t the easiest person to be married to — she filed for divorce from her second husband just a month after marrying him, and her third marriage didn’t last long either. But Reagan’s second marriage, to Nancy, was a different story. They were together for 52 years, and their relationship was widely seen as a model of love and partnership. In 1971, when Reagan was Governor of California, his eldest son Michael was getting married. Reagan couldn’t be there in person, so he sent him a letter. What he wrote wasn’t just a note of congratulations — it was honest advice from a father who had lived, learned, and deeply valued his own marriage: Dear Mike, You’ve probably heard all the jokes from people who are bitter or cynical about marriage. But here’s the truth: you’re about to start the most important relationship in your life. And it will become whatever you choose to make it. Some men try to act tough by living like the guys in locker room stories — thinking that what their wife doesn’t know won’t hurt her. But believe me, even without lipstick on your collar or shady excuses about where you were at 3 a.m., a wife always knows. And when that trust starts to break, the magic in the relationship starts to fade. More often than people realize, the ones who say marriage doesn’t work are the same ones who put the least into it. It’s like physics — you get out exactly what you put in. If you only give half, you’ll only get half back. Sure, there’ll be moments when you’re tempted — when you notice another woman or miss your old single life. But I’ll tell you something: real strength, real masculinity, is sticking with one woman your whole life. Anyone can cheat — that’s easy. But to stay interesting and loving to the same woman, through all the normal, messy, everyday stuff — that takes real character. If you love her, really love her, you’ll never embarrass her by flirting with others or making her question where you’ve been. And you’ll never put her in a position where another woman could give her a knowing smile — like she knows a secret your wife doesn’t. Even for one second. You, more than most, understand what it’s like to grow up in an unhappy home. Now, you have the chance to build something better. There’s no greater feeling than coming home after a long day and knowing someone’s waiting just to hear the sound of your footsteps. With love, Dad P.S. Say “I love you” at least once a day. It really does help. Those words came from more than just a father — they came from someone who knew what marriage meant and how important it is to nurture love and loyalty every day. Reagan made sure Nancy never had to doubt she mattered. He made sure she always waited for him with love. As people say, you reap what you sow. And Nancy — graceful, strong, and loyal — chose him just as much as he chose her. She wasn’t just the First Lady of the United States. She was, first and always, the First Lady of his heart. And Ronald Reagan — the strong, determined leader known to the world — never forgot who he was at home: a husband, a father, and a man who truly loved his family. Like many good men in this world.
