Tuesday, July 31, 2007 The skinny on steroids By Len Butcher As Barry Bonds attempts to tie, then break, Hank Aaron’s home-run record, the controversy surrounding the use of steroids heats up even more, if that’s possible, and though I have always been against the use of steroids, I would like to clear the air on just what it means to sports and what we can [...]

Monday, July 30, 2007 Is Ensign the new Quayle? By Steve Sebelius You know, the more we observe U.S. Sen. John Ensign, the more we have to wonder: Is he destined for something higher in the Republican Party? He’s got all the credentials. He loves golf far more than lawmaking, as his handicap and legislative success record clearly shows. He’s definitely in the Christian wing of the [...]

Monday, July 30, 2007 Who is Gibbons’ lawyer? By Steve Sebelius They say journalism is the first, rough draft of history, so one can’t expect to get the full story from the newspaper every day. But sometimes, reading different papers, different stories and different quotes, a picture emerges that tells you a little bit of what might be going on.
For example, take the Case of [...]

Monday, July 30, 2007 Do we have to go over this again? By Steve Sebelius OK, listen up, people, because we’re only going to say this one more time…

Monday, July 30, 2007 Welcome to Monday, with Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius We neglected to comment upon a monorail-related item last week, and that’s this: The Regional Transportation Commission is planning to spend $75 million on special buses that will travel from the monorail’s Sahara station (where the monorail ends) to downtown. The bus line got a boost from U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley, who wrangled $25 million [...]

Tuesday, July 24, 2007 This just in: Governor tries to appear governor-like By Steve Sebelius It’s the oldest technique in the political book, and somebody must have found former Gov. Kenny Guinn’s old copy lying around the governor’s mansion, because current Gov. Jim Gibbons is sure trying to lead the opposition.
At least that’s the only message we can draw from a news release just e-mailed to us, headlined (in [...]

Tuesday, July 24, 2007 Catching up Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius Sorry for the lack of posts, readers. We returned Monday from a weekend in beautiful San Diego, and there was a lot to do. But just because we weren’t here doesn’t mean things weren’t going on! Let’s take a quick (hits) look back:

Thursday, July 19, 2007 Thursday Quick Hits: Erin Kenny Final Justice edition! By Steve Sebelius They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this photo of disgraced former Clark County Commissioner Erin Kenny sure screams volumes. They could do a decade’s worth of DARE program classes, a month of Sunday school sermons and a year’s worth of scared straight videos and they’d still not be able to compete [...]

Wednesday, July 18, 2007 Wednesday’s Quick Hits: Kenny goes to jail! By Steve Sebelius By now you’ve no doubt heard the news: Former Clark County Commissioner Erin Kenny is headed to the slammer for 2-1/2 years. She was eligible for more, and she certainly deserved more, but we figured she’d do two or less so the U.S. attorney could still induce people to take deals when the FBI knocks [...]
