Posted on: Ensign’s criticism of Obama expected, but Palin?

People of Nevada, you have a rare politician that you have voted into office: a person who will speak the truth and not always follow party lines. I have always respected Senator Ensign, and now I respect him more. Thank you, Senator, and may you set an example for other senators and representatives!

Posted on: Slot players pinch pennies

neiman1, I fail to understand what Senator Reid has to do with energy costs. The price of gas that we use in our cars in influenced by several factors, but primarily supply and demand - the basic rule of economics. Demand has been increasing steadily over the years, mainly because of the expanding economies of China and India (more cars on the roads). We are at the point of peak oil - the cheap, easy-to-get-at oil has been used. Your efforts would make more sense if you tried to persuade Senator Reid to convince the casinos to loosen up the slot machines.

Posted on: Casino winnings fall for seventh straight month

I agree with the Comments by OG and slotsnme. The casinos have forgotten why they became successful: they catered to middle class America by offering nice rooms at fair prices, good food and choices for prices people could afford, reasonable priced entertainment, and gambling games that people could play and not break their budget and have a reasonable chance of winning. Well, maybe not really winning but at least playing for awhile. I enjoy 3 Card Poker. When I first started playing maybe the minimum bet was $3. Look at the minimum bet now, especially at the Strip casinos or on Friday night or the weekends - outrageous! Who can afford that except the really wealthy or foolish? It takes the fun out of a LV experience - at least for me.

Posted on: Why attack on city bus met inaction

I would hope that Metro would place a high priority on catching these crooks and bringing them to justice. Has a reward been offered? If not, it should be. Not catching these guys will just encourage more of this dangerous, anti social behavior.

Posted on: Lots of people equal to Palin

"Palin and Obama have near the same amount of experience. Palin has more executive experience.
Yet, does the letter say that Obama is not qualified to be president. No, it is does not.
So, I guess this experience test only applies to females."
Big difference: The Democrats selected Obama during the primaries. He is THEIR choice.
One person selectd Palin.
