Quote by Stephen Moles

“Anubis is associated with the mummification and protection of the dead for their journeys through Denver International Airport to the afterlife. He is usually portrayed as being half human and half jackal, and holding a metal detector in his hand ... Anubis is employed by the Department of Homeland Security to examine the hearts of all travellers to make sure they have not exceeded the weight limit for psychological baggage ... He is also shown frisking mummies and confiscating firearms and other contraband. It doesn't take much to tip the scales in favour of a dead body cavity search or an afterlifetime travel ban.”

“Its goals thus laid out, the Post editorial page began to seek them. The next day it began campaigns for a new sports stadium, an auditorium “in keeping with necessities and dignities of a modern city,” a traffic improvement survey, and more copious and legible street signs. Poor street signs were a special irritant to newcomer Hoyt, to which Mayor Stapleton reacted, “If they were good enough for the son-of-a-bitch to find his way into town by them, he can find his way out.”

“Bonfills and Tammen were in the thick of all of this, castigating the corporate owners of the tramway and water company, blessing and damning the politicians, often in the same breath, getting shot and seriously wounded by a mad reader, and in and out of court on various libel matters. With a blow from behind, the pepper-pot Bonfills assaulted Senator Thomas M. Patterson, the owner of the Rocky Mountain News, and paid a fifty-dollar fine for his ever-excessive temper. But mad or calm, the paper made money hand over fist and lapped all of its rivals in circulation.”

“The techniques I developed to control potentially dangerous encounters with police officers and how to deescalate the situation by calling 911 were put to the test in the high altitude Denver International Airport in 2022. I was successful in controlling the situation and I walked away without being touched or charged by the three police officers involved. I filed a complaint regarding the unfortunate encounter afterwards to protect future airport travelers there.”
