Opened the old Siren e-mail and got a message from the Obama campaign wondering how the caucus went for everybody. And that’s a good question to ask. Thanks to your hard work, we won 13 national convention delegates today, and Hillary Clinton won 12. … However, we received many reports of people having trouble with…
Well kids, it’s almost here. Tomorrow is the big CaucusFest. Are you ready? Actually, I have a little confession to make. I’m not ready either. But lucky for me, all the organizations, candidates and other such entities who have been filling up my e-mail in-box lately have sent me an insurmountable amount of information today.…
I’ve got to dash. (In fact, late already.) But wanted to add two more bits … Today’s Dem Prez e-mail tally — Clinton: 7, Obama: 0. Check that. I mean Clinton: 8, Obama: 1. Can’t sum up the media’s chatter about Nevada’s CaucusFest better than The Gleaner, so I won’t even try. — Emmily
The humble Sin City Siren gets a mention in Morra Aaron‘s (you might know her from CNN punditry) political post on BlogHer! Here’s what I said: Even as close as we are to the caucus, I still can’t get a sense of who will be going to this thing. As in, from the masses, regular…
Buried under a pile of paperwork (government forms make me itch), I dig myself out momentarily to offer you these news bits. Enjoy and remember to chew thoroughly. More Caucus Fest: Planned Parenthood not only is hosting a pre-caucus rally for the 35th anniversary of Roe v Wade on Jan. 19, but they are organizing…
It’s an assortment of goodies today (in no particular order, as usual) … Debate Fever: The Nevada Conservation League is urging folks to show up for the MSNBC presidential debates tomorrow (Jan. 15) at the Cashman Center, 850 LV Blvd. The NCL’s push, called Heat is On, is to make global warming an important aspect…
Nevada NOW, PLAN and the Human Services Network are urging folks to contact Gov. Gibbons to tell him not to go forward with planned budget cuts. The e-mail stresses contacting the governor’s office Jan. 2 and 3 but I didn’t get it until today. But I think it still works: Proposed budget cuts from Gov.…
I admit that during most of December I traded my normal media gluttony for actual gluttony. It being a shiny New Year and all, I thought it was time to pull my head out of the cookie jar and start paying attention to the world around me — or at least what the media’s covering…
Sometimes the universe reaches out and gives you a nudge. I can take a hint, usually. A few weeks back a reporter from a local paper that shall go unnamed sent me an e-mail with a survey of questions about my role as a “political blogger” in Nevada. Why did you start your blog? What…
On Monday, Dec. 3 you can let the Department of Energy know exactly how you feel about a nuclear waste dump in our backyard. Officials will be hearing public comments during their meeting from 4-7 p.m. Let ’em have it! The meeting’s at Cashman Center, 850 Las Vegas Blvd. North. In addition, Erin over at…
