I gave Gov. Jim Gibbons a hard time last week for his cliche- ridden description of his mortgage-lending summit, which reached its apex with his declaration that there is no crisis and that the regulated businesses don't think they need more regulation. I now realize this is an ongoing affliction. In a Reuters interview last week after the summit, Gibbons added to his cliche catalog. He told an interviewer "the future of Nevada looks bright." And as for a plan to tax the gamers, Gibbons offered this hoary one: "This is killing the goose that laid the golden egg." And with the state facing that proverbial bright future, those eggs will only get more plentiful and more golden. So maybe we shouldn't look a gift goose in the mouth.
