It will be exciting to see state workers energized to keep their pay and benefits during the legislative session to follow, especially since energized is not a word usually associated with state employees. But let's face it-the city workers-especially in Henderson-are the problem. 300 cops, God knows how many fire employees-in a docile, low rise community. Overpaid, underworked, and cocky as hell, due to their unions. It's time the homeowners step up, and demand changes. Our local taxes are rising exponentially, and something must be done. Now....

Yeh, blame OSHA. Sure, the workers aren't dropping like flies anymore, but we all know that's because the contractors are keeping a keen eye out for their workers getting wasted at the nearby bars. Must be a pain to have to get up earlier to fill your thermos with vodka, but at least you can sip and sip to get through the day.

CCSD is too large. Downsizing to NLV, LV, and Henderson would be a start. Smaller schools, better results. Nah, makes too much sense. CCSD will continue turning out tip-dependent dumbbells, because they have the clout in Carson City. Of course, with all the tip jobs disappearing, you have to wonder what will happen to the all the future failures. Remember, we got "Ruffles" after the typical "nationwide search", so we are getting what we deserve.

Too bad we didn't know this was happening in advance, because we could have sold tickets to this Demolition Derby. Cops driving the wrong way, slamming into a car twice. Wonder what the Spanish guys were doing wrong at one in the afternoon? Seatbelt?

Hmm, so I'm driving down the street, and a vagrant is walking in the travel lanes. I hit him, and blow an .08, so I go to jail like forever. Question-if he was lying in the travel lane, drunk, do I go to jail forever? What if he ran out into the travel lane, and I never saw him?
If he jumped off an overpass, and hit my car while I was an .08, do I go to the slammer? What if I was an off-duty cop? Aha, things suddenly change.

Thanks, George W. Bush. You have made a mess of our nation and our city. Thank God we have Harry in power. Hope its not too late...

I have a friend who has the top players card at Stations, with millions of points. Due to the changes in comp policy, as well as a noticeable losing streak at the machines, she has decided to take her business elsewhere, and use up her Stations points at the restaurants and such. Thank you for my birthday dinner, Dottie. Sadly, it takes more than Saturday's Chinese junk giveaways to keep your best customers...

Gregory, go back to Texas. I was forced to work there in the '80's, and met numerous know-it-all dopes like you. The only reason Texas exists is that the people are too stupid to realize that drilling causes dreadful pollution, both on land and in the ocean. Ever hear of sea fleas?

"Hi, I'm Sheldon. Nice to have you back, Ausaf. Let me help you to the tables-any baccarat tonight? Call me if you have any questions."

"Christ, he's back. Double up on the Grey Goose, get the blonde dealer with the rubber boobs, put the best hookers on call. This could be good."

Yes sir, Mr. Adelson."

Yeh, it's Harry's fault. Bush, with a solid majority for 6 years, did a crackerjack job. Sometimes, I think I'm living in Mayberry, with Otis (neiman1) in charge.
