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,...

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...

The op-ed piece in today's Las Vegas Review-Journal by John Stossel ought to be required contemplation in every newsroom in America. The piece ends: "Reporters who think coercive government control is generally good and I, who thinks voluntary...

In just a few hours after posting the blog item below in which I observed (correctly, I might add) that the big GOP wins in Virginia and New Jersey would put pressure on representatives like Dina Titus to make a call between their natural liberal...

This opening few graphs of the latest Dick Morris column say it all for folks like Rep. Dina Titus who really, really want to vote for Obamacare, but know a vote for it will cut against them in the 2010 elections. This also applies to Sen. Harry...

The analysis of today's off-year elections in the Review-Journal points out one truth: Outside of a clean sweep by Democrats, nothing good will happen today for President Barack Obama. If the GOP wins the Virginia's governor's race, or the New...

For those wondering whether Harry Reid was in Nevada on Nevada Day (including me), this story from "The Hill" provides the answer. Nevada's senior senator, who is desperately trying to convince voters that he still is a Nevadan working...

Thanks to a loyal reader, here's our dreadful state song as attempted by local mega band "The Killers". I'm sorry, ladies and gentleman, but no one can make this song sound good. Here we are the entertainment center of the planet and the...

Happy 145th birthday, Nevada. It's been a hard year for the Silver State. We may have suffered more than any state in the union in this recession and on the current trajectory it looks like we're going to suffer the longest, too. But, we still have...

Dick Morris, who was in Las Vegas this week, opines in his column about Sen. Harry Reid's "bait and switch" tactic with the public option on the health care "reform" bill. It's worth the read. The Complete Las Vegan had a chance...

I wonder that every time I see the affable Steny Hoyer representing the Democrats on television, instead of Pelosi. This morning Rep. Hoyer appeared on all the cable channels to talk about the process by which the House plans to provide...

Had the opportunity to hear Fox News pundit Dick Morris in Las Vegas today. He makes a provocative speculation about why President Obama "dithers" in making a decision on troop build-up in Afghanistan. He doesn't want to make the move...

If you wanna be a mensch, you better come to grips with truth -- real truth -- the presence of evil and, perhaps, the lyrics of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love". At least that's how I took the new film "Serious Man" by...
