I'd like to tell you this is an uncommon sight on the streets of Denver. But it's not. In fact, the city is crawling with police officers. They're on bikes, motorcycles and stuck to the sideboards of SUVs.

The first time I spied an SUV plastered with police, I  figured Barack Obama must be inside.

Wrong again.

Much ado about nothing.....

With the possibility of any number of scenarios playing out, would not even an esteemed columnist think it prudent to plan ahead?

Maybe we'll read more about someone's knees tomorrow or something else Earth shattering..... Sheesh!!
