Well, well, well. What news do we have here? Why it’s that GOP Sen. John Ensign has admitted to having an affair on his wife. (What’s that sound? Oh, his 2012 presidential hopes going down the drain.) You know what gets The Siren really steaming mad? Fucktard politicians who campaign on “family values” and “keeping…
It’s been a wild, bumpy ride, but somehow we’ve made it to the other side of another session of the Nevada Legislature! A LOT went down this session — from the failed Equal Rights Amendment (boo) to the tax budget fuckery to overriding the Govtard’s veto of the Domestic Partnership bill (hurray!) — and amazingly…
Nevada Women’s Lobby Celebrates Domestic Partnerships in Nevada CARSON CITY, Nev. – Yesterday was a historic day for Nevada.

I’m recovering from a bit of a sinus/chest infection and the medicine-head has got me thinking about mass transit. You see, I got this nifty prescription cough medicine. It works wonders, but it’s so powerful I’m not allowed to drive while taking it (something about a mild narcotic in it). So this has got me…
It’s getting down to the wire, kids. Do your part and contact your Legislator today! Starting tomorrow Friday May 15, 2008, the Assembly will be able to vote on Final Passage of SB 283 – Domestic Partnerships. We need to ensure that we have the largest possible margins on this vote to enable us to…
No deal, yet, on the education budget up at the Legislature. Word is the slash-and-burn might be less than Gov. Gibbons’ insane 36% (maybe 12-13 percent), but I won’t wait to breathe. Although, it appears that Govtard is flippity flopping on a proposed lottery for ed funds. Nevada’s mining companies are jerks. Seeing as they…
I cut my finger (nothing serious) and it is bugging me to type, so it’s short and sweet today: Don’t forget that Domestic Partnership bill SB283 goes up for vote in the Assembly tomorrow! Now’s the time to contact your legislators if you already haven’t! The Center’s LGBT prom is May 16 and for just…
