What a fucked-up year it’s been … Best day of 2008: Nov. 4. Yes. We. Can! Other than Obama’s victory, this could be objectively viewed as the Worst Year on Record in America (Bloomberg) Impeach Governor Assclown “GW Jr.” Gibbons already Heartless doctors at Endoscopy Center expose 40,000+ to deadly diseases because of greed and…
As you know, I’m on the steering committee for the Nevada Women’s Lobby. I set up a facebook page for the group yesterday. If you’re on facebook, please check it out and become a fan! We also have a causes page on facebook, so be sure to join that as well! 🙂
Scary sign that Las Vegas is boned: My friend who gambles a little got offered comped rooms on the Strip for New Year’s Eve. It’s scary because he’s NOT a high-roller. It’s scary because (normally) New Year’s Eve is when Strip hotel rooms are hard to get and cost through the roof. Let me put…
Blast from the past, but still a goodie:
No time to say Hello! Goodbye! Yahoo News has already called the election for Obama, sort of. And Nevada goes … blue? Please let it not be a dream. White America spends so much time being afraid of The Black Man that they forget that, in fact, it’s usually whitey going out on a shooting…
I don’t have time to do these proper justice but can’t let it go by … The Governor’s getting sued, again. Divorce court, civil court (for conspiracy to prohibit due process for Chrissy Mazzeo, whom he allegedly attempted to sexually assault) and now sued for wrongful termination (aka abuse of power, ala Sarah Palin). Gibby’s…
Holy shitballs! What’s up with this Nevada ACORN voter fraud story? The Secretary of State’s office raided ACORN’s headquarters on Tuesday after an investigation into the group’s voter registration practices. ACORN says they’ve registered 80,000 people to vote in Nevada (a very, very high number compared with other orgs doing the same work) and have…
A lot of people ask me what Alaska’s like, especially now. For my friends who know Nevada, I often say that, in fact, The Silver State and The Last Frontier are far more similar than you might think. In fact, despite the different nature of it, they both have somewhat severe climates and it requires…
How wonderful that Gov. Jim Gibbons found the time in his busy texting schedule (850 texts in a 5-week period, impresive!) and divorce proceedings to call a special session of the state legislature to, you know, deal with our crushing $1-billion-and-counting budget deficit. What a multi-tasker! I’m sure it’s not meant to distract us from…
Here we are again at Earth Day (officially April 22). And I can’t help thinking — What a difference Al Gore has made. That little Oscar-winning movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and a little thing called a Nobel prize add a surprising amount of clout. I seem to recall that sometime in the middle of the…
