The Detroit News reports this afternoon that the Barackstar will accept the Democratic nomination for President at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver.
Mile High is the third holiest site for orange and blue fans everywhere, behind only the old Mile High (which physically shook every Sunday afternoon in the presence of number 7) and Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego where the Broncos won their first Superbowl.

Remember the good old days when Patriotism was Patriotism, and there was no need for a "new" definition?

Democratic convention to be no-fry zone

Article Last Updated: 06/26/2008 08:45:08 PM MDTDENVER — Warning to Southern delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver this August: it will be a no-fry zone.
As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats' guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.
No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.
In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white."
"It's the new patriotism," says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.
However, if presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain starts gaining in the polls on Barack Obama, who will accept the Democratic nomination in Denver, the Democrats may find they've got bigger fish to fr? - uh, make that - bake.

I live in Chicago, so I didn't find out about this until I read a column by Mike Rosen in the Rocky Mountain News. Normally, if Mike Rosen says one thing I tend to believe the exact opposite, but our views aligned on this case.
Don and Susie Kirlin moved to Boulder in 1980, and took advantage of the market a few years later to buy 2 lots near their house with a combined area of 80' x 60'. The way life gets ahead of people some times meant that the Kirlins had to postpone building their dream home. Unfortunately for them, this would mean their land would get taken away from them.
