Here’s the latest example of just how bad things are for poor, ol’ UNLV workers. Seriously, break out your hanky for this one from Laura Kaprelia [Laura.Kaprelian@unlv.edu] folks. It’s a real tear-jerker.
Muth’s Truths: January 26th
Democrats in the Senate are looking at an electoral massacre this year. The Kennedy seat is gone. The Biden seat is on life-support. Dorgan is cashing it in. The Burris seat is up for grabs. Specter is going down. The Dodd seat is in jeopardy. Blanche Lincoln may well be retiring. Evan Bayh is in […]

Our friend and KXNT talk show host Casey Hendrickson will be shaving his head to raise money for St. Baldrick’s on March 6 to support kids with cancer.

Muth’s Truths: January 21, 2010
The Las Vegas Review-Journal headline reads this morning: “No job growth foreseen for LV Valley in 2010.” Now maybe I missed it, but has anyone seen even one substantial and immediately doable proposal to actually help employers and budding entrepreneurs actually create new jobs in Nevada by any of the gubernatorial candidates from any party?
Muth’s Truths: January 20, 2010
As Barack Obama enters his second year in office, allow me to state that as far as his efforts at ruining the nation’s economy, taking over the nation’s private companies, spending the nation into bankruptcy, destroying the nation’s health care system, raising taxes, treating terrorists like common street thugs, and stimulating unemployment are concerned….I continue […]

Team Tark Continues Twisting and Turning the Truth
Earlier today, the campaign of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian continued its dishonest DC-style attack campaign of twisting words around to make them mean whatever they want them to mean. Indeed, the Team Tarkanian eager beavers were so filled with unrestrained joy at finding what they thought was a major political muff by front-runner […]
Muth’s Truths: January 15th
Times & Seasons, a popular Mormon blog, named Harry Reid “Mormon of the Year” yesterday. The blog also named Tiger Woods “Husband of the Year” and Bernie Madoff “Financial Adviser of the Year.” President Barack Obama, of course, ran away with the “Light-Skinned African-American Politician without a Negro Dialect of the Year” award.

Muth’s Truths – January 12, 2010
Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Ben Spillman inked a story today which quotes Rainier Spencer, UNLV professor of African-American Studies, defending Harry Reid. Rainier says he doesn’t see why Harry Reid should apologize “other than using the archaic word Negro.” Three questions:
A Chink in Harry Reid’s Spic-and-Span Image
Republicans are perceived to be the party of moral values and when one of them falls off the wagon – or into bed with his best friend’s wife – the cries of “Hypocrite!” ring out loud and clear. As they should.
Muth’s Truths – January 9, 2010
• Hot off the press (hat tip: RalstonFlash): A new book coming out Monday reveals that Republican Sen. John Ensign once characterized Barack Obama as a “light-skinned” African American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” What an outrageously insensitive racist thing to say! • No, wait. Sorry, it wasn’t Republican John […]
