My Ol' Grandfather Clock speaks back to Sharrron Angle most accurately every hour: "...cuckoo....cuckoo..."

But did she drop the other tablet of ten?

1. Thou shalt hate gays because Leviticus tells her so, and support all other Leviticus phrases because they are her god's rules for the unruly.

2. Thou shalt castigate pensions, except thy own federal pension.

3. Thou shalt let the wild mustangs be eaten by the French.

4. Thou shalt not have clean water if the feds are involved.

5. Thou shalt teach all kids at home.

6. Thou shalt view that coming unregulated pollution means dirty jobs for Nevada.

7. Thou shalt not tax anyone with an "R" by their name.

8. Thou shalt not desire roads--they are a federal conspiracy.

9. Thou shalt understand that everything for Nevada is an earmark, so Sharrron must vote NO!

10) Thou shalt add one more character to the Looney Tunes family of characters along with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and now "Silly Sharrron."

Sharrontology, the hope for a medical/religious/dark ages future for Nevada....If Lunacy was a Religion, Sharron would be its Pope....

Danny's always been a few letters short of a full load....Or it's possible he spelled "Sharon" for "Sharron" intentionally so the newspaper would give his exact quote as "Sharon (sic)" when they published the so-called endorsement....Very devious, but effective....Sharron's wacky, looney, nutso positions are sick indeed.

I hope she raises $100 million and spends it all. That would pretty much guarantee that she ends up with about 10% of the vote, since it seems every time she opens her mouth, she gives herself a black eye and loses a couple percentage points. Just keep on talkin' and we'll keep on walkin' away....

Sharron Angle must be a member of the Looney Tunes Church. Clearly, she has replaced Daffy Duck as its pope.

Even my Black Forest Grandfather Clock responds to the Sharron Angle candidacy with simple, yet defining accuracy: "...cuckoo...cuckoo."

Check out the earlier Sun article on what the gambling tax rates are in Pennsylvania from February 24, 2010:

"In Nevada, Wynn and his fellow casino owners pay a tax of 6.75 percent on the money they win from gamblers.

The Philadelphia casino that Wynn will manage will pay at least 55 percent in taxes on its slot machine winnings and 16 percent on its winnings from table games."

So he can make a considerable additional "profit" on an eventual $600 million casino at "55% and 16%" gross taxes from Pennsylvania gamblers, but the UP TO 6.75% in Nevada is a casino buster to be cried over and nothing could be offered during the past Special Session for Nevada education or the current tax fix. It shows just how much casinos OWN the Governor and Legislators to keep the general population fooled.

For even further comparisons how other States tax their gambling sinners, also take a look at:

http://www.americangaming.org/Industry/s...

You'll find that not only are the tax rates at 55% and 16% in Pennsylvania, but they have the additional "license fees" in the millions, and they require the licensed gaming establishments to pay the ENTIRE gaming regulation agency costs EVERY year---not just $4 million of a $32 million cost like here in Nevada, but the FULL $32 million.

Take a look at the REAL comparisons and see how other States would collect and have collected 55% on $10 Billion, and Nevada collects/collected less that $908 million on over $11 Billion last year. So that gives the casinos an extra $4 Billion, Pennsylvania would have had for that same amount, to buy Nevada government rather than vice-versa. Who says money can't buy you freedom from fair taxes.

Just one person's opinion who believes Nevada Gaming could go from 6.75% to only 10% and still brag to the rest of the country that they STILL have the lowest gambling taxes in the world, and help Nevada's budget, education and pay for full State Agency regulation.

So the gub'ner wants to "...eliminate collective bargaining rights for school district employees." What's next? Just abolish all teachers and suggest every kid be home schooled????

It's time for you to go gub'ner...and far. You have become silly, silly, silly...your repetitive silliness must go away....or at least find him a new girlfriend so he'll be distracted texting again for the special session.
