The heady mid-term elections of 2010 began in earnest yesterday in Boulder City as eight candidates gathered at the Republican Women's Club to give 7-minute previews of their candidacy. I moderated the event for the club and performed excellently,...

I was struck by the simplicity of the sentiment expressed in the New York Times by Arkansas U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln as she wrestled with whether to vote for the health care "reform" bill before Congress. She's one of three Democrats who...

That's the title of an excellent piece by Pat Buchanan, which The Complete Las Vegan recommends to readers this morning. It continues the theme this week of how the left purrs to itself about how they are oh-so-smart in dealing with terrorism in...

To further the conversation on the crazy Age of Obama gospel that political correctness directly equates to tolerance, The Complete Las Vegan directs your attention to the brilliant Mark Steyn article of Nov. 14 entitled "Tragedy or...

Sen. Harry Reid has begun the effort to woo Nevada veterans in 2010. See the e-mail below. I don't presume to speak for other veterans, but Sen. Harry Reid may have "lost" a good many ex-military men and women voters when in April 2007 he...

My Sunday column in the Review-Journal, "Call Evil By It's Rightful Name -- It's terrorism, Mr. PC President" sparked an excellent debate over the weekend, both on the Review-Journal's website and within my Facebook community. Real Clear...

For the weekend enjoyment of The Complete Las Vegan's readership, pull up a chair and a hot cup of coffee (or your favorite "thinking beverage") and view this interview with 78-year-old Rupert Murdoch. Early on he offers his thoughts on...

This is making the rounds on the Internet today. Not sure of its origin. If I knew, I'd give the proper credit. So, I pass it along with no comment of my own, but with plenty of room for yours. Old Version The ant works hard in the withering heat...

It brings me no joy to once again remind Nevada legislators of the danger they put Nevadans in by copying the tax structures of other states while at the same time exhibiting no spending discipline. California is an obvious lesson. But our neighbor...

One of the modern conceits in America is the idea that ink-and-paper newspapers are fast going the way of buggy whips. People say this because we currently are in an advertising recession, circulation has declined and some big newspaper companies...

Erin Neff (see previous blog item) today begrudgingly admits she may have erred in alleging that R-J Ad Director Bob Brown gave $1,000 in 1999 to a congressional candidate. She says she'll take me at my word when I say it is not the same Bob Brown....

If you have not seen the frothy new Progress Now Nevada website, I urge you to take a gander here. If you like hate speech and nonsense mixed in with profound hypocrisy and fiction, you'll love Progress Now. It has a whole site devoted to trying to...

Dina Titus says after she opposed the Pelosi health care bill in committee, it's now good enough for her, on behalf of Nevadans, to vote for it. Now we find that if you'd don't buy Pelosi insurance you could go to jail. You're kidding us, right,...

I don't know, but this is what passed for jewelry last night at a gathering of several hundred conservatives at Stoney's country/western bar on Las Vegas Boulevard South....

By now thinking Americans know our government overreaches like that old character on Saturday Night Live ("That's the ticket!") on its claims of the number of jobs "created or saved" by his stimulus bill. For a good analysis of...
