When campaign minions aren’t fudging the physical vote count, computers, tasked with tallying the vote, are susceptible to hacking – and Republican’s are jus’ as guilty as the Democrats. This year, Barack Obama won the election in Ohio by only 103,481 votes out of the total of 5,291,039 votes, a difference of only 1.9-percent of…

The Pain in the Passing
A friend of mine writes: “Sitting with our Mother, my 3 brothers and I, holding her hands and telling her she can go now. I have fixed her hair, applied full make up, donned her most beautiful robe. She hasn’t opened her eyes in 3 days. Although while turning her over to change the bedding…

Why the GOP in Nevada is Losing
Word up for the Washoe County, the Nevada state and the Republican National Committees: the Democrats are kicking your arses when it comes to campaigning. Really! Case in point, I work for a 50,000 watt radio station, which during the day covers most of Nevada and eastern California and at night blasts from Canada to…

With that said, on September 9th, 2012, Israel’s Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter warned that the Muslim Brotherhood has co-opted the “Arab Spring” with the goal of creating a “caliphate” to span the Middle…

Not Letting Defeat Get Me Down
Let me bitch and complain for a bit. It’ll make me feel better – promise. Generally, I’d write about this sort of crap in my personal journal, but not today. Nope, this time I’m gonna publically shame me – or so I think. After getting up this morning, I weighed myself. I’m a hefty two-hundred…

Keep the Fed Out of Online Gaming
Nevada needs to keep the Federal Government out of its business. The state’s legalization of gambling in March of 1931 helped transformed Nevada into a major tourist destination during the Great Depression. But to many that’s ancient history. And jus’ last week I reported: “Governor Brian Sandoval is backing efforts for a federal law to regulate online poker,…
