I haven't blogged in a long time.   Although you would think the opposite, it has been hard to write my thoughts because I am too angry.  I've been so angry that I was afraid it would end up in an exasperated rant instead of a inquisitive and truthful blog.  What I've wa… Read full post »

Dear Mr. President:

The state of Nevada is littered with towns that went bust after the silver rush during the 19^th century.  Would you like to see Las Vegas suffer from the same fate?  Your remarks about this great town show that this may be the case.

I am sick of what are now called newscasters attempt at appearing to be newsworthy.  I am tired of pseudo news because insults my intelligence.  The liberal and the right-wing media have taken over the airways and for now it appears we cannot do anything about it.  The corporations tha/… Read full post »

I know what you're thinking.  Ugly? Las Vegas, the home of showgirls, glitz and until recently Pamela Anderson?  No, I'm talking about the ugliness of humanity.  People have become simply ugly to each other in recent months.  Locally and nationally…ugly is in. Recently, my… Read full post »

As I believe a formal introduction to be somewhat lame in this capacity, I'll make it short and sweet.
