Gold Butte Conservation Bill 7132
I attended high school in St. George, Utah so I know Mesquite and Gold Butte. Just a hop, skip, and a hiccup away from St. George, Mesquite was the place you could buy beer at 18, and although I’m not all that outdoorsy (I know, shocking!), even I can appreciate the Virgin River gorge and [...]
More National Journal Bloggers Poll Reactions: The Clintons
Tuesday’s question for the day for the National Journal Bloggers Poll was “Which Clinton, Bill or Hillary, will make the stronger case for Obama in their convention speeches?” The Left of Center bloggers went about 17 to 4 in favor of Hillary Clinton–the overall thinking sees to be that Hillary Clinton needed to make [...]
What Obama Needs To Be Prepared For
For all of you thinking that Obama as a presidential candidate will be immune to the racial equivalent of this, well, you’ve got another thing coming. The Republicans won’t be bold enough to actually spell out “N.I.G.G.E.R.” or “C.O.O.N” (or whatever racial code word they might come up with) like they do “C.U.N.T.” in [...]
Why Recalling The Nevada Caucus Is A Bad Idea
Dina Titus is wrong. Sheila Leslie is right. After a few hours of celebrating what went well during the Nevada Caucus, critics went straight to work on pointing out everything that went wrong (and no one would be exaggerating, would they?) and mounting what constitutes a recall campaign led by Dina Titus. [...]
The Latest Celebity Not Visiting Reno: Magic Johnson
Oh Magic. I know Las Vegas is closer to L.A. than Reno, but Reno is actually much easier to get to thanks to our manageable airport. So why not campaign for Hillary Clinton here? No offense American Ferrara, but you’re no Magic Johnson. I was on a plane once with James [...]
Fernley Needs Sunlight Too Senator Ensign
I got a press release from Harry Reid’s office featuring remarks from Senator John Ensign regarding FEMA’s desperately needed assistance to Fernley:
“Fernley has endured a terrible disaster; many have lost their homes,” said Ensign. “I appreciate the swift action by the federal government to help get people back on their feet. The money [...]
Bring in The Light Senator Ensign and Support Senate Bill 223
The Sunlight Foundation, and in particular, Paul Blumenthal, have their sights set on Nevada Senator John Ensign for refusing to budge on Senate Bill 223 which would require Senators to file their campaign finance contribution reports electronically, allowing that information to be more readily available before elections than it is now. Why does Senator [...]

Hedge Fund Tax Reform, No, No, No
Mortgage and tax reform bills have both been passed by the House. From the Boston Globe:
By a 291-127 vote, the House approved a bill targeting loose and deceptive loan practices that helped inflate the recent housing bubble. Steered by Democratic Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, it calls for licensing of mortgage brokers and bank loan [...]
Clinton Derangement Syndrome
A few days ago Kevin Drum wrote a post about Andrew Sullivan’s unexplainable descent into Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS), a development that is beginning to make his blog unreadable:
Obviously lots of people suffer from Clinton Derangement Syndrome. That’s not news. But over the past couple of years Andrew has practically scourged himself senseless over the [...]
Take A Bite Out of Bill Raggio
I did! Thanks to KNPB’s “Aged to Perfection” event during which state Senator Bill Raggio was honored for his “tireless work for Northern Nevada over the last 34 years,” I was able to admire whatever culinary mind created the absurd chocolate Bill Raggio, reportedly used as plumage for the tiramisu. And although it [...]
