Maybe it’s just Mr. Ass Juice Santorum stinking up the joint, but I’m really getting tired of the whole caucus/primary-thingy season. And we’re only through two! How will I make it to at least No. 5 (that’s Nevada)! Last night I found myself just yelling at the TV numbly, “Oh, can’t we just pick Romney…
Let’s look at the news circulating on the eve of the next big Republican primary/caucus (PS: Don’t forget that Nevada is 5th in the line-up, so things are just getting started!) (PPS: Confused about what the difference is between a caucus and a primary… or want to get involved? Check out Planned Parenthood’s training session…
I’m not sure if my recovery from stomach flu was hampered or hastened by saga and pageantry of Tuesday night’s Iowa caucus. While all the pundits and political junkies swoon that it’s finally presidential caucus/primary season, almost everyone else in the country was still wondering (perhaps secretly), “What the hell is a caucus, anyway.

I know, I know. Unemployment insurance. Glamorous stuff. But that’s just the thing. Unemployment insurance, like so many aspects of the down economy —…
Passing this along from the Nevada Women’s Lobby: DO YOU CARE ABOUT NEVADA’S WOMEN AND CHILDREN? THEN THIS OPPORTUNITY MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU (or someone you know)! The Nevada Women’s Lobby (NWL) is recruiting for our Northern Region Membership Team Leader. This volunteer position, which also includes membership on NWL’s steering…
The issue of redistricting got me thinking about the people who represent us. The elected officials who represent me, you, our kids, our neighborhoods, our schools … and so on. Are your elected officials — who are supposed to be representing your interests — anything like you? Do they match your values? And would it…
With The Legislature ending a week ago, it is tempting to think we can all go on a little mini-break from politics. (I know I could use one!) But it turns out, Nevada may be in its biggest fight, yet. I’m talking about redistricting. Because Democrats and Republicans were deadlocked on an agreement on new…
I’ve been dealing with a sick baby for the past four days (she’s on the mend, thankfully), so I haven’t had much time to get on the computer.
