Oh how I want that to be my hyperbolic liberal mind-set and not the reality. But no, in fact, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by Chrissy Mazzeo against Gov. Jim Gibbons when he allegedly grabbed her and shoved her against a wall in a parking garage just weeks before the 2006 election that made…
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…
In my official capacity as Southern Nevada Director of PLAN, I made it into Las Vegas CityLife this week. (A surreal moment, being interviewed by a paper you once wrote for.) It’s all about our fight to register new citizens to vote, and help them engage in democracy and the attempts of others to squash…
Watch it before it gets taken down: I’m not going to go into the possible election/advertisement rules Fey might be breaking here. I just thought it was funny. Also, as a writer, I was pretty amused by Fey’s opening monologue on SNL: http://showhype.com/video/saturday_night_live_tina_fey_w_steve_martin_snl_intro/ –Natalie
She’s cool. He’s hot. She’s from the Bush/Clinton clan. He’s not. Forgive me for borrowing the tag line from Valley Girl to head into an entry on the Democratic primary. Sigh. Is anyone else pissed that the Democratic primary is even close, considering that Clinton and Obama look nearly identical on paper except for the…
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.…
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…
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…
I was talking with a friend the other day about how daunting (and completely necessary) it is to research all these presidential candidates. If you’re not completely sold on any one candidate, it can be tough to look at a pool of 10+ people you’ve for the most part heard nothing about. Then I remembered…
