Monday, November 5, 2007 Raggio bails on state summit? By Steve Sebelius Once again, our Reno-loving colleague Anjeanette Damon has a scoop, and it’s this: Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio isn’t going to attend Gov. Jim Gibbons summit on potential cuts to the state budget on Wednesday.
Instead, Damon says, Raggio is sending state Sen. Bob Beers as his emissary.
Which is odd, since Raggio and Beers [...]

Monday, November 5, 2007 Told you so, Lanni! By Steve Sebelius You may have missed this item in Sunday’s Review-Journal business section, but everybody should take a moment to read the remarks of one J. Terrence Lanni, chairman and CEO of MGM Mirage. It seems he’s encouraging Gov. Jim Gibbons to abandon his campaign promise not to raise taxes.
"Any economist will tell you that it’s bad [...]

Monday, November 5, 2007 We just don’t get it By Steve Sebelius We just don’t get it.
We’ve had nearly seven years of President George W. Bush, whose "election" in 2000 was most likely invalid. (Read all about it here before you call or write in to bitch.) During that time, we’ve seen:

Friday, November 2, 2007 Quick Hits for Friday! By Steve Sebelius Time to wrap things up for the week, with a nice dose of Quick Hits:

Thursday, November 1, 2007 Not gay senator vexes Ensign By Steve Sebelius Now we know why U.S. Sen. John Ensign wanted fellow Sen. Larry Craig out of office so badly! (Because he may be gay, of course. Craig, not Ensign.)

Thursday, November 1, 2007 Mining reform dead By Steve Sebelius The House of Representatives today passed a bill that would update the General Mining Act of 1872, another demonstration of the genius of our Founding Fathers in creating a system that can avoid progress for 135 years. It’s no wonder they’re just getting around to condemning the genocides of the Ottoman Empire! (We can’t wait [...]

Thursday, November 1, 2007 Associated Press, R-J ignore Biden By Steve Sebelius We don’t think it’s going to far to say the Review-Journal is conspiring to keep news about the Joe Biden for president campaign away from Nevada Democrats, given that he’s the best choice for president ever. How else can you explain the Associated Press dispatch in the R-J on Wednesday that failed to mention Biden [...]
