Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Well, now it kinda makes sense By Steve Sebelius We at Various Things & Stuff have long wondered about why U.S. Sen. Harry Reid has been so vocal about banning coal-fired power plants in Nevada. Reid’s a cagey politician, and it’s not like him to close off his options so completely (he’s declared that a trio of coal plants, one near Mesquite and two [...]

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Go, Joe, go! By Steve Sebelius Regular readers of Various Things & Stuff know that we’re big fans of Delaware U.S. Sen. Joe Biden for president. Sometimes, people call us and ask about it. Sure, they’re political campaigns. But still! We always level with the underpaid interns and tell them we’re for Biden.
Why? Here’s why, baby. Biden cleaned up in [...]

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Yucca project totally killed by Senate hearing! By Steve Sebelius OK, we may have exaggerated a bit with that headline. In fact, nothing has really changed about Yucca Mountain in light of a hearing this morning in the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee.
But, in the Senate Special Select Subcommittee on Giving Sen. Hillary Clinton Things to Talk About to Nevada Voters, the Yucca [...]

Tuesday, October 30, 2007 Oh, no, he didn’t! By Steve Sebelius Gov. Jim Gibbons has told Chancellor Jim Rogers, Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid and other officials to get real when it comes to cutting the budget, according to Reno’s biggest defender, Gazette-Journal political reporter Anjeanette Damon.
It’s his first personal pushback since Rogers and the locals staged a government mutiny, refusing Gibbons’ request to [...]

Tuesday, October 30, 2007 Gibbons needs “Time Management for Dummies” By Steve Sebelius We’ve already called Gov. Jim Gibbons a bunch of immature names for first whining and bitching about not being invited to a Yucca Mountain hearing in Washington, and then bailing on the hearing once he was finally invited. Seriously, Gov. Diva. Get over your gubernatorial self.
But there’s more! Instead of just sucking it up, [...]

Tuesday, October 30, 2007 Um, what? By Steve Sebelius Steve Wynn is pretty good at building casinos. The Golden Nugget, which he used to own, is still the nicest place downtown. The Mirage totally revolutionized Las Vegas, ushering in the megaresort era. And The Bellagio set new standards for luxury. His latest place, the Wynn Las Vegas, is very nice, too.
But when it [...]

Monday, October 29, 2007 Gibbons whines, cries, plays hard to get By Steve Sebelius Seriously, we just don’t get Gov. Jim Gibbons. First, the guy whines like a little girl with a skinned knee when he’s not invited to testify to a Senate panel about the dangers of Yucca Mountain. "I was deeply concerned that I have not been invited to testify on behalf of the people of Nevada," [...]

Monday, October 29, 2007 Yuck By Steve Sebelius Review-Journal columnist Jane Ann Morrison clearly enjoys making people uncomfortable. Her usual weapon of choice: A column about sex.
Her most recent offense involved a public lunch discussing the sex lives of flowers, in which she clearly delighted in causing other patrons of the upscale Vintner’s Grill in Summerlin to lose their appetite.
But it’s [...]

Sunday, October 28, 2007 Rage Raged By Jason Bracelin Calm like a bomb?
Yeah, Rage pretty much lived up to the hyperbole with a fat-free, hard-eyed set of galvanized funk as the Vegoose headliner.
Tom Morello stood atop his amps in full rock god glory, wielding his guitar like a battle axe, while Zach De La Rocha convulsed on the mic like a man possessed.
It was [...]
