(Mark Noonan) – Well, he did ask for it, didn’t he?
“You want credit Harry, we are happy to oblige: Nevada is in the midst of 16 straight months of increased unemployment, which has driven the state’s economy to the worst in the nation. Harry Reid wants credit. Fine, you got it, Harry. But the economy’s downturn coincides with your power. You weren’t in charge during the good years, but you did [...]
(Mark Noonan) – From the Reno Gazette Journal:
“…Distressed properties posted 904 unit sales in Reno and Sparks from April to June, according to data from the Northern Nevada Regional MLS. The sales represent about 60 percent of the market in both cities, up from 55 percent during the same period last year. Short sales accounted for the bulk of distressed properties sold — about 38 percent of total sales…”
Meanwhile, over at [...]
(Mark Noonan) – I was reading the Pahrump Valley Times the other day and came across an article which made me think that Nye County was trying to set up a retirement home for Harry Reid, Dina Titus and all the rest of our corrupt, soon-to-be-defeated leaders.
But then I skipped down a paragraph and realized that they were just talking about a new business license for honest whores, not the political variety we [...]
(Mark Noonan) – Oh, to be an Independent now that campaign season is here! While being a Republican does have its advantages, there is one draw back: Democrats don’t send their campaign fliers to your house. Especially when their whole program revolves not around garnering support for a Democrat but, instead, the demonization of the Republican.
Fortunately, I am a man of wide friendships and thus a friend of mine, registered as [...]
(Mark Noonan) – I see from a report in the Nevada News Bureau that Andrew Clinger, our State Budget Director, is happy as a clam. Seems that our tax revenues are going to come in $100 million more than expected for our biennial budget. Woohoo! We’re saved!
Or, are we?
Further in the report it is noted that while revenues are set to be more than expected, it looks as though Congress [...]
(Mark Noonan) – Remember back during the ObamaCare debate how Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats went on and on about how they were going to protect the little guy from the drug companies? How we needed Reid’s ObamaCare bill to protect us from greedy, mean, cruel and despicable drug companies who were only in to to make a buck? Reid was often on his high horse about the drug companies [...]
(Mark Noonan) – I’m sure you’ve all seen and heard the ads being run against Sharron Angle. To listen to them, you get the impression that Sharron Angle wants to get rid of everyone’s Social Security and Medicare right away. But if you listen carefully to the ads, you’ll see that they are cleverly designed to slander.
A good political slander – and “good” means “effective” rather than “morally correct” – works [...]
(Mark Noonan) – As I was driving home from Church on Sunday, I happened to hear an ad lauding a bill supposedly introduced by Dina Titus (D-NV) which will, from what the ad said, save the entire world and make us all happy, healthy, taller and better at golf (this last being a crucial issue for my vote in 2010).
I said it was “supposedly” introduced by her because I’ve checked her websites and [...]
(Mark Noonan) – Nevada News Bureau reports that various federal payments to the States which are due in June will be pushed back to July. 17 Nevada counties are affected and according to the NNB report, everyone seems to be taking it in stride. No worries, we can wait a few weeks for the money.
And, truth be told, we can. That, right there, should be a clue as to how much of [...]
(Mark Noonan) – So, the Mayor of Reno, alleged Republican Bob Cashell, thinks that Sharron Angle is “too wild” to be our Senator? This is dove tailing with the Reid campaign meme that Sharron Angle, our Republican nominee, is too much of a “whack job” to be our Senator. This is all very interesting.
I some times wonder about those who are deeply entrenched in political life – like Cashell, who is seeking yet [...]
