Sick with a heinous cold or something. I love you all but my head hurts. Do me a favor — if you have an upcoming event you want plugged, just stick it in the comments section of this post. Or start a discussion amongst yourselves (might I point out there’s an interesting one going on…
I like basketball. I hate cancer. Put the two together and you get the Think Pink “Rebel Rally for a Cause” event coming up at the UNLV women’s basketball game on Saturday, Feb. 16. Hosted by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the idea is to pack the Mac with people wearing pink and showing support…
Grist has a nice feature on their site where you can look through back interviews and fact sheets to see “How Green is Your Candidate?” For instance, here’s Clinton’s fact sheet. And Obama‘s. — E
I’ve just spent a half hour trying to get something to load for a post. (I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier!) I was so frustrated I gave up. Thankfully, there’s a funny, two-part interview of HRC President Joe Solmonese from The Colbert Show that cheered me up. Now I share the…

I generally try to keep cable news viewing to a minimum as it tends to irritate, rather than inform me. (What happened to just-the-facts-ma’am news?…
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…
I am delighted to introduce The Sin City Siren readers to the newest feminist blog in Las Vegas: Neon Feminism. It’s the work of Aisha O’Brien, a journalism student at UNLV. (And perhaps others?) For nearly a year now the little old Siren has been heralded as the only feminist game in town. Frankly, I…
I need a break from those irritating Walmart commercials which show women making all the food for large Super Bowl parties. As if only women would make all the food for a party. As if women wouldn’t want to watch the game. Memo to Walmart: Dudes cook and chicks watch sports (at least at my…
