Good morning, everyone. One day before the big court hearing on that nasty Sun/RJ vs. Brian Greenspun suit and yet anotherdocument was filed. This one is a doozy, as is the BG affidavit that speaks of his anguish in going uncompensated while trying to keep the Sun afloat and the derogation of bedroom bloggers (Hey, it's a converted bedroom!). I kid you not. We have his lawyer, Leif Reid, scheduled for tonight on the program.
I continue to feel as if there are no heroes in this story, and the...
Becky Harris, who lost an Assembly race last cycle, is preparing a campaign against Democratic state Sen. Justin Jones in a contest that could determine which party controls the upper house.
Harris is likely to run with the imprimatur of the Senate GOP leadership -- she was recruited by Minority Leader Michael Roberson, I'm told. She's a lawyer who was just this week named by Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak (!) to a mobile home committee.
Privately, the GOP folks are touting her...
On the same I reported in my email newsletter that state Sen. Kelvin Atkinson was 75 percent sure he would run for secretary of state, Treasurer Kate Marshall announced early endorsements.
This is classic:
In a rare early move, the Northern Nevada Building and Trades Council has endorsed Kate Marshall. “Breaking with our normal practices the Council last Thursday made the decision to step out early,” said Paul McKenzie, Secretary Treasurer of the Northern Nevada Building & Construction...
Good morning, everyone. As the debate continues over Syria, which defies the usual binary choices, Nevada’s delegation is either silent or equivocating (read this if you want to pierce the paywall or this from the Sun’s Karoun Demirjian), gung ho (Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid) or a likely NO (Rep. Joe Heck). It amazes me that on the most important issue facing the country – the possibility of going to war (yes, it’s war) – that federal elected officials would not want to take a strong,...
On Wednesday evening at the Red Rock resort, a full-blown anointment party will take place in the biggest race of Campaign '14: lieutenant governor.
Yes, lieutenant governor.
With high-level Democrats already conceding Gov. Brian Sandoval's re-election, despite the torrent of "Sandovalcare" news releases from the state Democratic Party (you never know....), the Party of Reid is focused on making it as difficult as possible for the governor (even if he is not so inclined) to run against Prince...
Good morning, everyone. Let’s try not to get all emotional about how much you’ve missed me. It’s enough that I know. And I have missed all of you, too, more than I can express. So enough with the tearful reunions and----back to business. It’s post Labor Day, so Campaign ’14 officially has begun!
I feel like the soap opera watcher who misses a couple of weeks and comes back to find----nothing much has changed. Well, almost nothing. Yes, the inevitable deflation of the Ricki Barlow for...
Good morning, everyone. Is it me or has August been much busier than it should be for late summer of an off year? Or maybe I am simply consumed by things nobody else cares about – i.e. horse tripping? It’s so busy I almost feel guilty about leaving you, my dear Flashees, until after Labor Day. Yes, this is the last MorningFlash (I’ll have some news for you later this morning but today is it!) until Sept. 3. I need a break so I can be my usual, sunny self when campaign season REALLY begins.
As...
