Monday night, Rep. Joe Heck (R-"Tea Party") kicked off his campaign in perhaps the most appropriate manner befitting a politician with his kind of record... At an exclusive "invitation only" very-high-dollar fundraiser outside his actual district . But unfortunately for him, a candidate actually running for Congress in that area was also there to say a few things about Dr. Heck's real record of ...

Now it feels like we may be approaching "The Perfect Storm". Se...

It seems that the local homeless, broke, and hopeless find themselves on a street corner one way or another.

On Saturday, the RGJ ran an article on the precipitous drop in big casino property tax revenues that Washoe County has to deal with . And believe it or not, it's leading to an interesting discussion on Nevada's chronic tax woes. Fifteen resort properties in Washoe County together are valued at $710 million for property taxes -- a loss of about half their value over four years — as their profi...

We're not even 2/3 of the way through February, and it already looks like this month is by far the "WORST. MONTH. EVER!" for Nevada Republicans.

This just in ! State Sen. Elizabeth Halseth, R-Las Vegas, resigned her office today, citing personal reasons, according to the senate Republican caucus.

Yes, believe it or not, Chuck Muth wrote a surprisingly balanced and detailed history of Halseth's political rise, as well as the origin of her likely fall from power.

Last week, I could tell the Nevada GOP was starting to freak out over another Politico story, this time showing how the 26% drop in Republican turnout (from 2008) for the caucus this month may spell deep trouble for Dean Heller this fall in what's likely to be another marquee US Senate race here in Nevada. Republican consultants were immediately doing backflips and pretzel twists to explain th...

And after seeing Mittens' disgusting and juvenile reaction to the Prop 8 ruling , I just don't see how anyone can keep calling him "moderate".)

The established narrative about Mitt Romney is that he's a rich fuck out of touch with Americans and their concerns, and incapable of connecting with another human being unless he's firing them.

Last night, Willard Romney was rejected by another set of voters. This time, Republicans in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado all said they didn't want him as their nominee .
