Wednesday, June 20, 2007 Wednesday Quick Hits, anyone? By Steve Sebelius Just a couple things, today, folks:
» According to a poll published in John L. Smith's column in the Review-Journal, a full 49 percent of Nevadans give Gov. Jim Gibbons a favorable rating, and 48 percent approve of the job he's doing in office. That's far higher than the 29 percent approval rating Gibbons had [...]

Tuesday, June 19, 2007 Told you so! By Steve Sebelius One of the reasons that we've been following the campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney so closely is that we're very curious how the Republican Party's evangelical voters are going to feel about him. (Another reason is that we just can't wait to see what position he takes next on the central moral questions [...]

Tuesday, June 19, 2007 Tuesday's Quick Hits: On gayness, Ensign and other stuff By Steve Sebelius How sad Richard Ziser must be. The poor bastard has only done one thing successfully in Nevada politics, and that was way back in 2000-2002, when he qualified the anti-gay marriage ban Question 2 into Nevada's Constitution. Since then, however, he's toiled in relative obscurity as head of Nevada Concerned Citizens. Sure, he ran for [...]

Monday, June 18, 2007 Monday Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius We made it back from our sojourn to Portland, Ore. (on the Alaska Airlines plane with the chattiest captain we've ever had; yeah, buddy, we know there's turbulence — now get off the P.A. and fly the damn plane already!). And we see we missed a couple things while we were gone. So let's catch [...]

Thursday, June 14, 2007 Morrissey at the Pearl, June 9 By Mike Prevatt CityLife lost its Pearl virginity this past week with the sold-out Morrissey concert, and it's hard to say what was more impressive: Mozzer himself or the venue.
Let's start with the Pearl. Las Vegas has no shortage of concert venues proper, but there's something special about the Pearl that puts it a notch up from the [...]

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Howard Dean is ridiculous By Steve Sebelius You know, we may have been a bit hasty when we dismissed Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's call for the Democratic Party to reach out to evangelical Christians yesterday. After re-reading parts of his speech, we thought it might deserve a bit more extensive treatment. And by "treatment," we mean "mocking."
In his speech, [...]

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Now isn't that interesting? By Steve Sebelius We apologize to you readers for neglecting this very revelatory story from Tuesday's Las Vegas Sun. In it, we learn that Dr. Raj Chanderraj of the Nevada Heart and Vascular Center wrote a $5,000 check to former Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs, just two days after she voted to award a $5 million UMC contract [...]

Tuesday, June 12, 2007 We just don't get it, and other Quick Hits By Steve Sebelius So, U.S. Sen. John Ensign gets out-and-out lied to by a high-ranking member of the Department of Justice, regarding the unjustified termination of former Nevada U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden. He gets very angry about it, and his anger is reported up the chain of command at Main Justice. Ensign demands that Bogden's "reputation" be "restored." [...]

Tuesday, June 12, 2007 This just in! By Steve Sebelius State Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus has signed up on the Hillary Clinton for president campaign, and will co-chair the campaign's "Women of the West" program. Clinton senior adviser Ann Lewis calls the move "synergy" and calls Titus' grassroots campaign program in 2006 a "role model."
