Every month I try to pick up a copy of the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle, a free monthly newspaper that covers news and happenings in Glendale, Colorado - a suburb completely surrounded by Denver - and the nearby neighborhoods. It devotes a lot of space reporting on new construction and businesses starting up, which I like to read, but the publication has a definite right-wing slant. They editorialize about ballot harvesting by Democrats, and have had articles about the evils of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) under a Democratic administration. Their featured columnist is Peter Boyles, a retired right-wing radio talk show host, who has denounced Denver's mayor Michael Hancock as a Marxist, although with all the development going on in the city, I am not sure how that could be. Years ago, when he was a radio talk show host, Boyles had an advertising deal with Hatch's Bookstore. At the time, I was the manager of the chain's University Hills Mall store. Boyles would promote books we were selling on his show, and appear in person at various Hatch's Bookstores to visit with his fans, most of whom seemed to be ex-military and dressed in fatigues, ready for battle. Boyles, to his credit, believes that the 2020 election was fair and free of voter fraud, and so although he is a right-winger, at least he is not insane, which is more than I can say about a lot of Republicans. And I mean that with all due respect.
