We've read plenty of court rulings in our time, but the U.S. Supreme Court's holding in the case of Deborah Morse et. al. v. Frederick is one for the record books. And by record books, we mean Hall of Ignominious Transgressions Against the Goddess Justice, which as you know is located in Philadelphia.

An Open Letter to Las Vegas City Manager Doug Selby
Dear Doug:
We read your comments in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday regarding the secret proposals to build a sports arena downtown. Frankly, while we were disappointed with your support of that secrecy, we were not surprised. (After all, as the Las Vegas Sun noted [...]
Sorry we missed a couple days of blogging, readers. We were busy absorbing the local crimes that were committed by former Clark County Commissioner Erin Kenny and the distant crimes committed by the U.S. Supreme Court. (We'll blog separately on those.)
But Kenny's case gets more and more intriguing, with the dispatches from the Review-Journal's [...]
I’m sure a lot of you watched Larry King last night to see what Paris Hilton had to say about her short stint in an LA jail. Why you care, I don’t know, but hey, it’s your life. I also watched it, but not to see Paris Hilton. My reason for viewing was to see [...]

Yes, I must admit, it is a [...]
We awoke to news that a well-off, white conservative has tremendous and far reaching influence in America, to the detriment of the country and good morals everywhere. And no, we're not talking about the New York Times story on Rupert Murdoch!
No, we're talking about the Washington Post's four-part look at Vice President Dick Cheney, [...]
I did not vote for Jimmy Carter when he ran for President. I also thought he went on to be a lousy President, despite his confession that he lusted in his heart at times, making him seem human and more like one of us. I did, and do, however, admire his work with Habitat for [...]
Before the weekend, before the beer and barbecue, before sports on TV, there must be, Quick Hits. Here we go!
» Let's everybody remember who it was who proposed arming university employees to deal with a campus shooting incident. (It was Regent Stavros Anthony, a Las Vegas police captain.) Let's all remember who it was [...]
We rock fans have had a hell of a June thus far. I can't recall another month where there were so many appealing concerts taking place on Las Vegas' various stages for such a sustained period of time. Hell, The Police and Roger Waters played the same venue the same weekend. I wrote about those [...]
