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…
So now it’s all Clinton and McCain. But last week it was all Obama and Huckabee. Tell me again why we care what 1 million registered voters in New Hampshire think? (I mean, aside from the cute TV footage of the quaint town with 12 voters voting.) I mean, Nevada has one million registered voters.…
Can vote tampering be all the easier with electronic voting machines? Absolutely, according to the New York Times Magazine cover story from Sunday. Since Nevada has the only machines with a paper trail (and we saw accusations of voter tampering with machines in Ohio during the last presidential election), the threat is real. So what…
Got news from the folks at Forgotten Voice that there’s going to be a rally for homeless vets tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at the American Legion Post #8 (733 Veterans Memorial Drive). — Emmily

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Hillary Clinton does something that makes her a target for thinly veiled gender slander. (I mean aside from having breasts and a vagina.) Now Clinton is caught tearing up on the campaign trail and John Edwards is the guy who pounces first. (sigh) I am so weary of…
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…
While not technically the first post of the New Year, this will certainly be my first post with any discernable feminist outrage. (Admit it, you missed me!) Here I go, in no particular order: Damned if this article in the January Elle (forgive me, it was an impulse buy in the Seattle airport) doesn’t make…
