Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Wednesday Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius Ready for a few random musings about stuff? Here we go!
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who was unconscionably excluded from a Fox News debate to which former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was invited, ended up coming in just behind Giuliani in the New Hampshire primary. (Final tally: Giuliani 9 percent, Paul, 8 percent.)
Hey, [...]

Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Culinary endorses … wait for it, wait for it … Obama! By Steve Sebelius The Culinary Union Local 226 has endorsed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president, which we all knew because pundits said so yesterday. This is so like opening a present on Christmas morning when you already know you got the new X-box. Anyway, here’s what the union said in its statement:
"Barack Obama began his [...]

Wednesday, January 9, 2008 In emergency, break glass By Steve Sebelius For U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, going up against the Culinary machine is a daunting prospect. So, it’s most definitely an emergency. What’s under the glass?
U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley, of course!
Berkley broke her promise of neutrality to endorse the New York senator, right before the Culinary Union Local 226 was expected to announce it’s [...]

Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Best State of the City speech ever! By Steve Sebelius At first, we thought Mayor Oscar Goodman’s annual State of the City speech was going to be the same old thing. He talked about downtown, the 61 acres, a new City Hall and the revitalization of that area. He talked about green building, and touted two awards the city won in London for sustainability. He [...]

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 Change, the war, and race By Len Butcher The results of tonight’s primary in New Hampshire will hopefully give us a clearer picture of who will still be considered contenders in the race for the White House. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. On the GOP side, it looks like McCain and Romney will end up 1-2 and it’s a toss-up who will [...]

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 This just in: Clinton gets major endorsement By Steve Sebelius No, not the Culinary Union, silly! They’re going for Barack Obama tomorrow.
But U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton did pick up a significant endorsement today in the person of Ronni Council, who up to now worked tirelessly to elect U.S. Sen. Joe Biden. Council spent the last days before the Iowa caucuses in that snowbound state, [...]

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 Culinary update: Decision tomorrow By Steve Sebelius The Culinary Union Local 226 announced this afternoon that it will most definitely announce its choice for the next president of the United States — tomorrow.
The union will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. at the union hall, 1630 S. Commerce St., featuring Culinary President Geoconda Arguello-Kline and Secretary-Treasurer D. Taylor. And, according [...]

Monday, January 7, 2008 Why, Gibbons, why? By Steve Sebelius We at Various Things & Stuff don’t pretend to understand Gov. Jim Gibbons or how he runs the state. It seems to be a combination of tossing darts at the wall, reading tea leaves and asking "what would Jesus do?" and then doing the opposite. Oh, and maybe a Ouija board, too.
Anyway, Assembly Speaker [...]

Monday, January 7, 2008 Just deserts By Steve Sebelius Remember back in March when the Nevada Democratic Party, under pressure from the liberal blogs, decided to cancel a debate with Fox News? (This was after the party defended its decision to partner with Fox News.)
We sure do. Back then, this was Fox’s stance:
News organizations will want to think twice before getting involved in [...]

Monday, January 7, 2008 Consultapalooza By Steve Sebelius If there’s one thing Nevada most definitely needs, it’s more political/business consultants. We’ve only got 10,000 consultants per resident now. Why not 10,0002?
We refer of course to the budding partnership of the venerable Patrick Smith and Chris Ferrari, who are leaving their respective jobs at two of the city’s largest public relations and advertising [...]
