Last week Thomas Mitchell penned an incredibly ignorant and even offensive post regarding the better-late-than-never expansion of Veteran’s Court in Clark County. Mr. Mitchell argued against even having a specialized Veteran’s Court, thinking instead that we should ignore everything we know about addiction, the mental trauma of combat, and the relationship between the two, and […]

President’s Day Weekend Potpourri
February 21st, 2012 · 1 Comment
Here’s a roundup of some of the happenings of Nevada’s blogosphere over the weekend, in case you were off having a life or something. ~~~ Will NPRI’s separation of powers lawsuit continue forward? There are clearly grounds for moving forward, even if the original defendant is no longer directly impacted, and eventually, a sitting legislator […]

Wasted Money, Wasted Time, Wasted Liberty – Without Actually Catching the Wasted
February 10th, 2012 · 2 Comments
So – on Superbowl Sunday 41 cops from 8 separate law enforcement agencies stop and harass 2,699 innocent motorists over a period of what I can only assume to be many hours, and they catch… 5 whole drunk drivers? That’s an accuracy rate of 0.00185% of total stops versus stops of people who are actual […]

Slightly Tape-Delayed, Almost-Liveblog of the #SCdebate
January 16th, 2012 · 1 Comment
I wish this debate had happened sooner. Although it definitely helped that there were fewer candidates on stage – it’s not an accident that fewer candidates and no absurd timeclock led to a far more substantive debate than we’ve seen in the past. I haven’t seen a lot of the post-debate spin from other people […]

There’s a Lesson Here – Don’t Blog Angry
December 23rd, 2011 · 10 Comments
This is a funny little lesson on getting one’s facts straight. Today, I noticed that Chuck Muth had written a blog post about me, one which is just a straight up, flat out, verifiable flasehood. There’s no other word for it. I understand he’s upset with me for exposing his Republican-harming unethical conduct in the […]

What’s More Disgusting Than The Murder of Innocents? Using Those Murders To Limit the Civil Liberties of Your Political Opponents (Or Anyone Else)
January 11th, 2011 · 3 Comments
I keep thinking about Christina Green, the 9 year old girl who was murdered in Tuscon this weekend. I think about how many political events I’ve been to, and how many times my family has been with me. I think about my own little girl. I think of the many drawers full of felony cases […]

“Taco Bell Named an Unindicted Co-Conspirator”
September 25th, 2008 · 4 Comments
So a guy farts on a police officer, and gets charged with battery. Awesome. When police were trying to get fingerprints, police say Cruz moved closer to the officer and passed gas on him. The investigating officer remarked in the criminal complaint that the odor was very strong. Cruz is now charged with battery on […]
