Good morning, everyone. Sometimes reaction to “Ralston Reports” is immediate and reminds me just how wonderfully diverse and downright sweet my viewers are. Consider how last night’s love email began, shortly after the program was over: “At first I thought Rush Limbaugh had been castrated, and starved into a 90 pound weakling.” I got a little lachrymose, I must say.
The president of my fan club went on about my “ LEFT-WING, Commie agenda” and how I was ignoring the depredations of Benghazi,...
Former Senate candidate Sharron Angle has inserted herself into Alabama's special congressional election next week, endorsing a candidate who has said he is "against homosexuals pretending like they’re married."
Angle's PAC, which solicited money for Dean Young in a missive I have pasted below, also set her disqualifiers for endorsements: Anyone who has voted for taxes, contributed to Democrats, has ties to the Establishment and does not display a serious campaign. (I wonder if incipient...
Tonight, we look at the new Nevada school rankings with Clark County Superintendent Pat Skorkowsy.
Check out your kid's school, and tune in at 6:30.
The margins tax has been around for awhile.
It was proposed by Democrats in 2011, and the teachers union qualified its proposal last year.
If you are involved in Nevada politics, even tangentially, you know what it does. This is especially true for lawmakers, who cravenly ignored the ballot question this year.

Gun control!!!! Enforce gun laws!!!! Really, dear Flashees? Is every tragedy simply an opportunity for some to exploit for a political agenda? Depressing.
I moderated a panel Monday before the Turnaround Management Association, which is a very conservative group...
President Obama told GOP senators he would authorize bombing Syria "because we think we can get away with it," Sen. Dean Heller said last week in a wide-ranging interview in which he first said he would not shut down the federal government but then said he would not vote for a budget that contains Obamacare.
Heller's comments came Friday evening during an interview on Vegas PBS' "Nevada Week in Review" in which he also said the left is "all for" bombing Syria and half of Democrats want to shut...
Good morning, everyone. Anyone else out there have nightmares after the latest, most harrowing installment yet of “Breaking Bad,” surely one of the greatest television shows? It’s almost as if creator Vince Gilligan is out to maximize our suffering before the bitter end two episode hence. Or perhaps he simply wants us to look at our own lives and realize it could be worse. Or, in my case, realize whatever depredations I come across in the Nevada political world, at least there is no analogue to...
