Reid and Son File for Office


Making it double official:

Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid has officially launch his campaign for Nevada governor...

Democratic Sen. Harry Reid is seeking a fifth term in the U.S. Senate.

The 70-year-old Senate majority leader declared he wants to create jobs and help Nevadans through the economic slump as he formally filed re-election paperwork Monday in Las Vegas...

Feel better, Nevadans, now that two Reids are on the job?  What with the jobless rate in our State capital now at 13.8%, I know we'll all breath a collective sigh of relief to think that Double-Reid is willing to help out...

Or, maybe not?

Rory Reid Trails GOP Rivals


Bad news for Harry's little boy - and, just perhaps, there is a lesson here for all politicians who begin to think that being in power is a birth right.  Rory, dear boy, maybe 2010 wasn't the best year for you to try for higher office?

What Do They Fear?


They fear that Americans wills start farming, again, rather than allowing some of the best farm land in the world to lie fallow due to asinine concerns about a guppy.

They fear that Americans will start manufacturing again, rather than allowing Chinese to make shoddy goods for the American market.

They fear that we’ll start exploiting our own oil, gas and coal resources rather than importing oil from enemy States.

They fear that we’ll let the “zombie banks” fail rather than continue the Federal Reserve’s efforts to bail out the bankers.

They fear that Americans will insist upon enforcement of the Constitution rather than allowing judges and bureaucrats to make it up as they go along.

What they fear, ultimately, is Americans acting like Americans. The fear we’ll become as we were before we allowed various cretins to take hold of our nation and sell us out in order to enrich and empower those who either hate America, or hold it in contempt.

May Gov. Gibbons Have a Private Life?


The other day an aggressive television crew went after Governor Gibbons as he arrived at an airport - confronting him, it would seem, over his traveling with a woman who is alleged to have been his mistress prior to his divorce.  An editorial over at Reno News and Review takes issue with this:

What Did They Fight For?


At Trenton, in 1776, some of Washington's men marched barefoot in the snow.  At Spotsylvania, in 1864, Lee and Grant's men fought hand to hand, in the rain, for 18 hours.  At Tarawa, in 1943, the Marines waded through neck-deep water in the face of Japanese machine guns in order to get to shore.  In 1950, General Walker issued a "stand or die" order to his 8th Army in Korea - and plenty of them did die, but they also stood.

Why did these men do that?  For more than two centuries American fighting men (and, these days, fighting women) have willingly gone in to the very worst places imaginable and won victories against all odds.  Why?

Regardless of Special Session Outcome, Nevada’s Problems Are Not Solved


There's this, that and the other thing being said as I write this.  Seems they've got a deal. This will be taxed, that won't be taxed.  A bit of spending trimmed here, a bit of financial hocus-pocus there.  In the end, it doesn't matter.

Our Economy is Dead: How Do We Build a New One?


In spite of all the happy talk out of DC and Wall Street about how well the economy is doing, the fact that consumer confidence plunged to its lowest level since April indicates the true state of affairs.  The government has statistics to tell us that all is well, but we have our unemployed and our collapsed home values to prove the government an ass, or a liar, on such things.

Living Your Faith


These people show how its done:

Since it was a decidedly Catholic film, it was only fitting that the invited audience at the premiere of Thérèse should be the same. Sitting with actor/director Leonardo Defelippis in the New York theater were a bishop, some priests, local diocesan officials, Catholic activists, and a patchwork of religious men and women wearing full-length habits.

After the film, a line of limousines waited outside to take the invitees to a celebration of Defelippis's feat in a nearby establishment. Some of the habited guests seemed a little nervous about getting into the limos.

It was understandable, then, if a few of them felt relief when they arrived at the party and spotted a couple of homeless people outside the hotel. They weren't your typical city homeless: a young man and woman, shabbily dressed and in need of a barber, piercings all over. They sat on a flattened cardboard box, dragged on cigarettes and held up a piece of cardboard with a plea for food money. They were ignored by 99 percent of the New Yorkers hurrying by.

The other 1 percent consisted of men equally in need of a barber, wearing sandals, gray robes, and long beards. Members of the Community of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, they squatted down to speak to these wanderers, engaging them in conversation to see what their needs were. A casual observer could catch snippets of the dialogue, which turned into a conversation about -- of all things -- the Church's teaching on chastity.

Some people do it.  Some people fake it.  Those who do it actually sit down with the lost and find out what they need and tell them what is true.  Those who fake it call for government spending.
