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way onto the set of Jon Ralston’s Face-to-Face program on Wednesday and proceeded to “pull a Perot” – claiming he had withdrawn from actively campaigning because he likes Sharron Angle, but now that she’s not blowing Reid away in the polls he’s […]
Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 12, 2010
“There will be a lame duck session of Congress even after voters have rendered their verdict on the work of the current incumbents in November,” writes John Fund in Political Diary today. “Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced the Senate will return on November 15, then take a Thanksgiving break, then come back for more […]

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 […]

The Hill reports that “The House ethics committee on Monday outlined its charges against Rep. Maxine Waters, who is accused of helping a bank in which her husband owned stock secure federal bailout funds.” The Congressional Black Caucus responded by nominating Waters for “Woman of the Yea.” Republicans, seeing spending as a “cutting” issue with […]

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
Let’s Make Nevada the Gay-Marriage Capital of the World
Considering the budget crunch facing Nevada, the commitment of both candidates for governor not to raise taxes to deal with it (yes!), and the court ruling in California last week striking down the ban on gay marriages, perhaps now is the time for Nevadans to embrace the age-old wisdom of “If you can’t beat ‘em, […]
Blaming Whitey
So let me get this straight. Seven teenagers who can’t swim go swimming in a river in Louisiana a week ago. When one starts to drown the others try to save him as their families, who also can’t swim, watch helplessly from the shore. The teens who tried to save the first drowning teen all […]

Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 5, 2010
Remember a year ago when Scotland released the Lockerbie bomber who took down Pan Am Flight 103, killing 270 people back in 1988? The reason given was that he supposedly only had three months to live. Well, as the Wall Street Journal notes this afternoon, twelve months later and this barbarian is still alive and […]
Whatsamatta with Woodhouse – Part II
Whatsamatta with Woodhouse? – Part II Here’s the second installment in what I’m now expecting to be a series of posts about the one Democrat state senator, Joyce Woodhouse of Henderson, who is most likely and the most deserving of getting her butt canned by voters on November 2nd.
Where, oh Where, Did the Nevada GOP Go?
Has anyone seen the Republican Party in Nevada? Anyone? Maybe we better print up some milk cartons. If a Democrat proposes a $1.5 BILLION tax hike in the light of day, would Nevada Republicans notice? Apparently not….as indicated by the sound of silence from the GOP after Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford revealed yesterday to […]
Mini-Muth’s Truths: August 4, 2010
The far-left loons over at MoveOn.org have called for a boycott of Target retail stores because Target has dared to exercise its newly achieved right to participate in the electoral process by spending “over $150,000 in the Minnesota Governor’s race backing state Rep. Tom Emmer, a far-right Republican who supports Arizona’s draconian immigration law (and) […]

• The worm has turned. “For the first since President Obama took office, voters see his policies as equally to blame with those of President George W. Bush for the country’s current economic problems,” reports Rasmussen Reports today on a new national telephone survey that “finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters now think Obama’s […]
Whatsamatta with Woodhouse?
I’m the government and I just want to keep helping. That’s the sales message coming from Democrats such as Nevada state Sen. Joyce Woodhouse (D-Henderson) up and down the ballot this election cycle. And voters/taxpayers would be insane to keep buying the snake oil.
Question Judgment, Not Motives
