Now that the 'rapture' is done do the evangelical redneck bigots disappear? What a lovely thought.

Jones Vargas vetoes education bill, says Nevadans plenty educated already
In a spirited and condescending veto PDF, Jones Vargas government affairs spokesman Brian Sandoval said an education spending bill "represents a circuitous attempt to secure a tax increase." No. The bill sought to set education spending levels. The tax increases are detailed in other bills tha...
With all the above rhetoric it seems that Clark County is sucking hind teat and pay the most; but, I forgot - it's only Vegas.

Why do Southern Nevada legislators hate Southern Nevada so much?
To recap: Brian Sandoval doesn't really care what happens to Nevada's economy -- or at least he thinks state budget policy doesn't really have anything to do with it. And the governor of Reno sure as hell doesn't care what happens to Southern Nevada. Even if he sincerely believes (doubtful) Ne...
I don't celebrate death, that said, this morning I had the overwhelming feeling that the world is a little safer. Kudos to the President for cleaning up a bit of the shithole left by asshole Bush.

Bin Laden unveils plan to fix American economy

Would it kill America's media to quit attacking Donald Trump for a few months?
Sigh, as this is being written, your American media has already moved beyond T-Rump's Las Vegas fuckapalooza to focus on how he lied about dodging the draft. Really, seemingly every day, and sometimes more than once a day, the press digs up yet another example of the shitfaucet's hypocrisy, ly...
It's a known fact that sh*t floats. I think this applies to the Repugnants in the confused state of Nevada.

Carnival barker Sharron Angle is a distraction Democrats don't need
Contrary to popular belief within Democratic circles, it would be better if founding fruitcake Sharron Angle just went away. Yes, yes, however the process shakes out to replace putative senator Dean Heller in CD2, the larger Angle's role, the better the chance for some Republican-lite Nevada-s...

Nevada charts steady, predictable course
Countless times in recent years mining industry lobbyists have solemnly announced the industry's thoughtful support for a broad-based business tax. Skeptics have doubted the industry's sincerity, prompting lobbyists to assure everyone that their support for a business tax stems from genuine co...
How did the asshole get elected. I'd like to see ALL of the Republicans defeated and thrown out of office...enough is enough.

Brian Sandoval is Businessman of the Year!
Your governor's sophisticated no-new-taxes policy has curiously failed to fix Nevada's economy. Maybe his innovative higher education policy -- divestiture! -- will prove more effective? And whether it does or not, the private sector is hurting, so inflicting pain on the public sector workforc...
Temujin-I grew up on Long Island and the duck farms stunk to high heaven. When the wind shifted you'd have to leave and go to the city. So, maybe it's a good thing. :)

Do the rich even need the rest of us anymore?
That's a question Bill Moyers has been asking lately, and I was reminded of it while reading this Joseph Stiglitz essay on wealth inequality: The more divided a society becomes in terms of wealth, the more reluctant the wealthy become to spend money on common needs. The rich don’t need to rely ...
Bottom line is that Nevadans are idiots to have elected him.

Sandoval: Zero is a "fair share" - at least for mining
What do you call it when a company produces hundreds of millions of dollars of gold and pays no mining taxes at all? If you're Gov. Brian Sandoval, you call it paying "their fair share." In his televised interview with Jon Ralston, Sandoval was asked about some of the specific failures (docume...

Nuclear power: Safe, clean and too cheap to meter
Pictured below is the San Onofre nuclear power station about midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. It's mostly owned by Southern California Edison, and company officials assure everyone that the plant is designed to survive a 7.0 earthquake. That stuff on the left is the Pacific Ocean. ...
@Scorpiogal...this is a national problem and not solely Nevada's. I've heard teachers and educators saying the same thing for the past 50 years. I was in school before TV but had radio and was not allowed to listen until homework was done and checked by a parent. Teachers are not baby sitters.

Quick fix
"Sandoval removes tax department director after failure to audit mining companies," reads the headline. That's wrong. "Sandoval removes tax department director after admitting failure to audit mining companies." That's better.
I still say if Ensign ran he's win because of the many Dan like creatured living in Nevada who would vote for him.
Puhleeze, do we have to put up with Batshit Angle again? How does this crap rise to the surface in Nevada politics?

Filthy snot-nosed John Ensign refuses to do even one good thing for Nevada
So Sen. John Ensign, R-Clairol, has discovered that he is such a disgusting, horrible excuse for a human being that even corporate America wants nothing to do with him. Corporate lobbyists and campaign contribution bundlers, perhaps the only people who can rival Ensign when it comes to exuding ...
Legalize pot and prostitution and give all equal civil rights. Is that too advanced for Nevada?

Reid proposes radical, sweeping transformation of Nevada politics & society
"The time has come for us to outlaw prostitution," Harry Reid says. Great. The lobbying industry is one of the few in Nevada that's thriving, and Reid wants the nanny state to kill it. Just like a Democrat. UPDATE: On second thought, the suggestion that lobbyists and prostitutes are one and th...

Plus he's got Sharron Angle eyes
Brian Sandoval's decisions necessarily must be guided by "WWTD?," the T in this instance being teabaggers. If that lot suspects the gormless purity of his wingnut credentials, it's hard to see how Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle or Michelle Bachman will pick him as her running mate in 2012. At the...

Remember Harry Reid? He was briefly famous a while back for running a bunch of ads against some crazy woman, on the TV. Anyway, now he's working feverishly on behalf of average Americans. Specifically, Reid is trying to make sure that the rich don't have to pay higher taxes so long as they agr...

Really, Las Vegas Review-Journal? John Ensign's taint? Aren't struggling Nevadans suffering enough already?
Doug, after 52 years of suggesting alternatoves I'm done. No one listens. We don't have a Democratic party, we have the right leaning Democrats and the ultra-right wing Republicans. That's the choice and I will no longer support either. Russ said it best, let them have the dying carcas of what used to be a Democratic Republic.
