Tark Attacks: Penalties, Fouls and Cheap Shots »
(Chuck Muth) – Once again we see that Danny Tarkanian will say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear….whether it’s true of not.
Danny Tarkanian looks like another Harry Reid up close »
(“Average American”) – The state of Nevada has not had the best luck with politicians of late.
Our Governor has issues within the Governor’s Mansion, our Junior Senator has ethics questions swirling around him about possible hush money paid to the husband of the woman with whom he carried on an affair.
We watched in dismay as a judge was investigated regarding her treatment of her staff and we are “blessed” with the incompetency of [...]

(Elizabeth Crum/The Blog) – Brian Krolicki announces….that his candidacy for the U.S. Senate is “yet to be determined” and that he is in the middle of a very intense due diligence process.
This from/on Jon Ralston’s interview program Face to Face. Other statements excerpted from Ralston’s exclusive interview with Krolicki Friday afternoon:

Americans are becoming more pro-life »
(Don Nelson) – Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Allison Gaulden’s op-ed “There are good reasons to celebrate Roe v. Wade” illustrates important differences between pro-life and abortion advocates on abortion issues, and who is shaping the direction America is heading on abortion.
First, Gaulden’s reference to German pastor Martin Niemoller speaks volumes. Niemoller lamented that his failure to speak up about injustices against other groups at the hands of the Nazis led to a Holocaust and his own [...]

Welcome to God’s Waiting Room! »
(Michael Zahara) – One of our state’s most beloved and gifted entertainers isn’t Wayne Newton, but Jeremy Aguero, principle of Applied Analysis. I’ve seen Jeremy at least a dozen times in recent years speaking to various groups or interests. He’s a graduate of UNLV, an unapologetic cheerleader, and perhaps our state’s most invaluable civic booster!
They all love to hire Applied Analysis because every day is sunny to them! When you want to hire [...]
A plan for economic recovery in Nevada »
(John Chachas) – The economic vitality of Nevada is tightly linked to the health of Nevada’s leisure and entertainment industry. In times when U.S. corporations aren’t sending people to trade shows and conferences, Nevada’s economy suffers disproportionately to the rest of the country. The ugly truth is the Silver State has made an inadequate effort to diversify its economic base, and we’re now paying the price.
A second sad fact is we have limited tools at [...]

(Robert A. Levy) – On January 21, the Supreme Court issued its blockbuster opinion in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Using that opinion as a platform, I offer this primer — written from a libertarian perspective — on the broad principles underlying campaign finance reform and free speech.

Campaign finance reformers endorse the quixotic idea that money and politics should not mix, so they passed the McCain-Feingold reform [...]

(Center for Fiscal Accountability) – Here’s a quick look at a few prudent reforms that would help bring our federal fiscal house in order without burdening taxpayers.
1. Enact a REAL Spending Freeze – Not a Phony One
