Most people love firemen and the job they do. But in these very hard economic times, the firefighter unions ought to recognize how they are beginning to appear to the general public. Consider, for example, this note from an R-J reader: "You...

Now comes Mark Sanford, Republican governor of South Carolina, who disappears for days allegedly to "clear his head" and hike the Appalachian Trail. Turns out he's in Argentina with his lover. This is bizarre and erratic behavior at...

And when Sen. John Ensign slept with campaign worker Cindy Hampton, he broke no ethics or campaign funding laws because all the paperwork says he spent the night at ... drumroll, please ... "The Hampton Inn". Work with me, people!...

The passing of Ed McMahon reminds me of his generosity and concern for St. Jude's Ranch for Children. He gave much time and money to the Boulder City facility in the early stages. Locals will likely remember his big involvement in the annual Night...

To put the Obama Administration's plan to save $100 million from his sea of unnecessary "stimulus" spending (which by the way isn't working), into proper perspective, view this video....

You're out hiking in the desert with the four dogs; the two big ones drop out of sight into a gully and don't immediately respond to calls ... and your first dark thought is ... OMG, hope they didn't find a dead body....

On just about everything related to international relationships, the Obama Administration has it wrong, wrong, wrong. You will remember during the campaign when Russia invaded Georgia over Oil. McCain rightly and quickly condemned the aggression....

Since the king of morning radio in Las Vegas, KXNT's Alan Stock, devoted a fun segment to reporting that I had switched political parties from Democrat to Republican ... and then dovetailed it into speculation about whether this is a precursor to a...

Like a Mexican soap opera, we last left the Sen. Ensign's poke-a-dillo with his campaign mistress (Cindy Hampton) and her staffer husband (Doug Hampton) represented by Las Vegas attorney Dan Albregts. In Ensign III, using my firm grasp of the...

Hate to sound mysterious, but something doesn't quite add up to me in the revelations about Sen. John Ensign's extra-marital affair. John seemingly rushed a press conference to announce an affair that had been over for 10 months. Why now? Why not...

I never -- ever -- saw it coming. Nevada's No. 1 Republican office holder, U. S. Sen. John Ensign admitted to an affair today. It lasted 9 months. Details remain skimpy, though you can bet that won't last. He and his wife have worked through...

Everything looks perfect for Sen. Harry Reid to roll to another six-year term in the U.S. Senate. Reid has a mine shaft full of money, he has most everybody who's anybody in Nevada behind his campaign and, of course, he's yet to draw a credible...

My many eclectic readers and friends send me e-mail on every topic under the Sun. One hit my desk last week that was interesting enough to wheel along to all of you. Are you looking for an unusual Father's Day gift? Then look no further than this...
