Mini-Muth’s Truths: September 4, 2010
The latest Rasmussen Poll, released Fridday, shows Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle tied with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at 45-45 percent. This is the fifth straight poll showing Angle within the margin of error….which assures her fundraising spigot will remain open. The longer it goes without Reid pulling away, the better Angle’s […]

Ol’ John Ellison Had a Cow, EIEIO
In response to our robo-calls to Elko County Commissioner and GOP assembly candidate John Ellison yesterday, the guy is having a veritable cow. He called a local reporter and is threatening to sue us for daring to make it easy for people to contact him and ask about his position on Minority Leader Pete “Tax-My-Meat” […]
Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 30, 2010
So Jimmy Carter went to North Korea on a “humanitarian” mission to win the release of a Boston man held by the regime. If the North Koreans truly wanted to demonstrate their humanitarian side, they’d have kept Carter and send the Boston man home. Folks close to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the Alaska Republican who apparently […]
200 Union Boneheads
About 200 Las Vegas union crybabies waged a protest Tuesday because the federal government is saving taxpayers a bundle of money by paying non-union market wages for construction projects at McCarran Airport instead of the wildly inflated wages demanded by local out-of-work union construction workers. “This is union busting,” wailed out-of-work plumber John Beeby at […]

“Existing-home sales plunged to their lowest level in 15 years in July as inventories soared, painting a grim picture for the housing market absent government support in a stubbornly sluggish economy,” reports the Wall Street Journal this morning. “Home resales dropped a record 27.2% — nearly twice as much as analysts had expected — to […]
Campaign Doctor: August 20, 2010
For years I’ve been training GOP candidates to NOT let the Democrats get away with claiming THEY have the support of teachers, firefighters and cops when in reality all they have is the support of the teachers, firefighters and cops UNIONS. To counter the Democrats’ misleading claims to own these important demographic groups, I have […]
God Hates Fag Haters, But Constitution Tolerates ‘Em
In all of the universe, it’s hard to image a more despicable group of nutjobs than the “God Hates Fags” folks at the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. These lowlife human wretches regularly protest at military funerals, contending “that soldiers’ deaths are God’s punishment for the United States tolerating homosexuality.” Yes, these sh*t-for-brains queer-haters […]
Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 18, 2010
Maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t this story from CNS News sound like something you’d expect to from “Great Leader” Kim Il-sung in North Korea: “Federal contractors receiving money for projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act )—the $862 billion economic stimulus law President Barack Obama signed in February 2009—have been encouraged and, […]
Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 14, 2010
From the Department of Who’d a Thunk It, the Associated Press reports today that illegal aliens in Arizona are leaving the state thanks to passage of a get-tough law cracking down on illegal immigration there. And where are many of those folks going? Back to their native countries? Don’t be silly. No, AP reports that […]
Scam Alert!
I received an email solicitation yesterday from some group I’d never heard of before: Nevada Voters Project. The email asks for money “to register 10,000 Republicans to defeat Harry Reid.” A noble sentiment. However, the appeal was signed by “The Nevada Voters Project,” not by an individual. So I clicked on the link and went […]
Economic Diversification: What Do Companies Want?
For anyone with any practical experience in the private sector, listing the sorts of things companies look for in order to open or move a business to Nevada is pretty simple….and obvious. But those who want to raise taxes to spend on all manner of government-run programs and services continue to claim companies aren’t looking […]
A Steaming, Scheming Sack of Cow Pies
U.S. Senate candidate (for now) and Tea Party poser Scott Ashjian slithered his way onto the set of Jon Ralston’s Face-to-Face program on Wednesday and proceeded to “pull a Perot” – claiming he had withdrawn from actively campaigning because he likes Sharron Angle, but now that she’s not blowing Reid away in the polls he’s […]

Linda McMahon, former CEO of the WWE professional wrestling operation, crushed her GOP primary opponents in the Connecticut U.S. Senate race yesterday. She defeated a former congressman by 21 points and an economist by 26 points. Yet Democrats are bleating that McMahon is a weak candidate because she only pulled a total of 49 percent […]

Government agents swooped down on a monthly arts fair in Portland, Oregon, last week and shut down a rogue vendor illegally operating a business without a restaurant license. The vendor was told to immediately cease and desist from her illegal operation or “face a fine of up to $500.” The vendor’s name was
