Wednesday, February 27, 2008 Debates become clearer By Len Butcher I wrote in an earlier column that the debates among the presidential candidates were a waste of time, simply because after listening to 90 minutes or so of rhetoric, we really didn’t learn anything substantial about the candidates.
That was then. This is now. Since all but two in the Democratic race dropped out, we have [...]

Saturday, February 23, 2008 None dare call it clusterfuck By Steve Sebelius But they totally should. The Clark County Democratic Party convention just wrapped up, and the winner is chaos!
Seriously. The end result is that things got so screwed up, delegates had to take two votes just to decide to have another convention to select delegates to the state convention.
What went wrong? The county party failed [...]

Friday, February 15, 2008 Still No. 1! By Steve Sebelius We’re getting into the home stretch here, people. With less than 24 hours to go, we are still leading in KNPR-FM 89.5’s online auction! The bid to have lunch with us at Various Things & Stuff — along with our colleague Jon Ralston — is $550! That’s well ahead of other media celebrities, including our [...]

Friday, February 15, 2008 Wrapping up with Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius We’ve been busy this week, what with Valentine’s Day and all. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t notice a few things that bear wrapping up and handing out in the form of Quick Hits. Here we go!
Again? Poor misanthrope and former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle just can’t get her campaign to attack nurses, police officers, [...]

Thursday, February 14, 2008 We’re No. 1! By Steve Sebelius What can we say, people? Just one day after our blog challenge to help us at Various Things & Stuff (along with our colleague Jon Ralston) beat our other colleague George Knapp in KNPR-FM 89.5’s online auction, you did it!
A mystery bidder has driven the price of lunch with yours truly and Ralston to [...]

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Now that’s a big surprise By Steve Sebelius We’re not sure, but we think that our colleague Anjeanette Damon gets so many scoops because there’s really nothing to do up in Reno, where she lives. That’s why she nailed this one: Gov. Jim Gibbons‘ press secretary, Melissa Subbotin, has quit. She’s leaving at month’s end.
It’s only the latest departure in a string [...]

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Unicorns aren’t real, either By Steve Sebelius Most people think of journalists as cynical, skeptical alcoholics pounding away at a typewriter keyboard while smoking and making light of some tragedy with gallows humor, the kind of thing you might see in old movies. But they’re smart, see? It’s hard to fool a real newspaperman. And while we wish that were the case, [...]

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 A little friendly competition By Steve Sebelius How much would you pay to have lunch with us at Various Things & Stuff? (We asked one person here at the office, and she replied, "Well, where would the lunch be at?" It’s that kind of quick thinking that makes the CityLife staff the best in the valley, bar none.)
Anyway, what if we [...]

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 This is really too easy By Steve Sebelius Jim Gibbons loves … John McCain? Well of course he does! Both the governor and the Republican presidential front-runner love war. Both fought in Vietnam, although Gibbons managed to pilot his F-4 Phantom without getting shot down. Maybe that explains why McCain says that Americans don’t mind if we’re in Iraq for 100 or 1,000 [...]

Monday, February 11, 2008 Justice for Boggs? By Steve Sebelius OK, here’s the thing: We think District Court Judge Donald Mosley did the right thing in dismissing two of the charges against former Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs.
We know, we know: Everybody hates Boggs, the one-time Democrat who turned Republican and accepted a seat on the Station Casinos board before finally being done in [...]
