Jacko. Farrah. Farrah. Jacko. The '70s and the '80s, RIP. Oh, and by the way, here’s our daily roundup of some of the rest of today's news. • Denver is the best place in the country to buy a home, according to a Forbes study reported by The Denver Business Journal. It all comes down to Denver's strong "fundamentals," the report says, citing an increase in prices paid per square foot this year and less of a drop in transactions than other cities over the last year. “Denver scores very well in terms of being able to bring people into a stable housing market,” an economist said, pointing to great "growth potential." Cities following Denver on the list: Phoenix, Boston, San Diego and Los Angeles. Detroit was in the worst shape of 25 cities analyzed. Read the whole Forbes report here.

A measure introduced in the Senate Monday would require that the federal government train more local police to identify, arrest and detain immigrants who have been charged with crimes in the state. The measure would also allow the state to use biometric identification -- like DNA tracking -- and federal databases to create an enforcement dragnet.

Square State blogger Sufimarie posts an email from state Sen. Dave Schultheis blaming Rocky Mountain News reporter Lynn Bartels reporter for sullying his reputation by not helping him clarify his own clumsy remarks that HIV infected babies would cause families to “see the negative consequences of that promiscuity.” The commented stemmed from the Colorado Springs senator's argument Wednesday on the Senate floor that a bill requiring HIV tests for pregnant women would reward promiscuity.

State Sen. Dave Schultheis earned a distinction he probably won't be using in his next electoral bid — "Worst Person in the World" — from the liberal MSNBC news analysis program Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Schultheis has received universal scorn for his remarks yesterday that HIV testing for pregnant woman 'rewards promiscuity' and that babies born HIV positive are punishment for immoral behavior during a Colorado Senate floor debate on a communicable disease control bill.
