Five days after Tea Partiers rallied at the State Capitol building in Denver, a very different kind of protest/party took place in the same spot two days ago, Tuesday, 4/20. If the date doesn’t clue you in, you can divine the difference from the cloud of hazy smoke above their heads. It’s not a Tea Party, it’s a Weed Party:… Read more »
