Good morning, everyone. If you didn’t watch the More Cops show at the Clark County Commission on Tuesday, my God I envy you. The four-hour parade of fluoride haters and assorted fringe types (please insert picture of Steve...
Good morning, everyone. Yes, William Shatner is a notorious over-actor. Yes, “TJ Hooker” was an awful show. And, yes, he is a caricature of himself. But last night, I had the great pleasure of seeing Shatner’s one-man show at The Smith Center, thanks to my pal, Steve Sebelius, another Trekkie from away back. And it was hilarious, amusing and even touching at times.
It’s rare you see someone so comfortable in his own skin, and Shatner clearly is, even making fun of himself. (He also called The...
Good morning, everyone. Happy Martin Luther King Day. It’s a day for some to take the day off, a day for some to remember King’s legacy and a day for some to be seen at various events because they are running for office. I have a dream that someday politicians will be known not for the content of their hollow speeches but for the character they display by showing the courage King did. RJ veteran Sean Whaley has a good piece that made me remember just how influential African-American lawmakers...

Good morning, everyone. So you are, as ever, eager to hear the big news of the day, breathlessly refreshing your inbox to see when the Morning Flash arrives, right? Well, of course I have what you want: The Oscar nominees. I have not seen all of the...
Good morning, everyone. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. I’m sure that it happening the day after he reported a stunning fundraising number. I’m sure it’s just a courtesy by the Republican National Committee. But this morning, there it was: Gov. Brian Sandovallisted on a straw poll for president in 2016. Go vote, dear Flashees! Show the national GOP we matter!
Meanwhile, closer to home, don’t underestimate thereverberations of this story on the battle over the margin tax. This will be seen, as...
n politics, especially during the season of hyperventilating. But, dear Flashees, I am not sure I have ever seen anything like this: Two former mayors let North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee have it for his tenure so far. Yes, Shari Buck lost to Lee, and both she and Mike Montandon are Republicans and Lee is a Democrat. (Right, PLAN and ProgessNow, he is a Democrat?)
The breadth of this evisceration, couched in generally benign language, is amazing, ranging from Lee’s unguided broadsides at past...
