(Not the) Tour of Colorado

Much chatter in The Denver Post, VeloNews.com and elsewhere about an eight-day pro stage race that may be coming to Colorado in 2011.
With the Tour of Missouri spiked, there’s a window opening in the August-September time frame, and among those said to be planning to dive through it are Gov. Bill Ritter, Medalist Sports and [...]

Big Brother wants your Google history

As a judge strikes down parts of an Arizona police-state practice excoriated by the feds, the feds seek to do what? Expand a police-state practice of their own.
