Sears Tower in Chicago to be painted silver? "Sources said the owners are considering an expensive paint job,
recladding the tower in silver. Since its opening in 1973, Chicago's
iconic tower and the nation's tallest building has been adorned in
classic black. A brighter look could draw fresh attention to the tower, which has
struggled to hold tenants against newer generations of office
buildings. Silver could figure into a broader effort to 'rebrand' the
building and highlight its advances in energy efficiency.

'Really why not?' And he says, 'Because you know what, I think you
drink too much beer … Lately I think it's too much.'… He says, 'There's a drunk club, I forget what it's called, but you

in, but you could ask them for tips.'"

Colorado state senator Renfroe defends gays = murderers remarks: "I don't mean to be hateful. I don't think I'm hateful. People have
accused me of that. I'm just voicing my opinions on what I
believe and trying to speak what I think is the truth. I wasn't probably eloquent enough in saying that all people sin and
there are many different sins and they are all the same in the eyes of
God. But to make laws to make sins legal is where I think it crosses the
line and we shouldn't go there. That's the destruction of society in my
opinion."

bail at $40,000 and set the next hearing for March 2, according to
