Having an affair is one thing. Having an affair with an employee is an other. Having an affair with a close friend's wife is over the top. But worse is having an affair after calling for the resignation of other politicians for having affairs is pure hypocrisy. Mr. Ensign, time to do the right thing for a change. Resign.
If Las Vegas is ever to diversify its economy, it must attract people who are interested in more things than playing slots. We need a cultural environment with excellent institutions. We need excellent higher education. And we need to think beyond the casinos. It is not just a tragedy to lose yet another cultural institution; it is another nail in the economic coffin that is Las Vegas.
This was not a 2-passenger "Piper Cub." It was a 4 or 6 passenger Piper Cherokee.
How can the Clinton's manage our national budget if they spend like drunken sailors on a Vegas holiday? We housed Obama volunteers in our house like so many other enthusiastic supporters. And I am so proud of being part of this historic campaign. It really is time for a change.
So, let me get this straight. The very same people who participated in designing a caucus system to accommodate hotel and casino workers are now saying the system is unfair because there aren't similar accommodations for custodians at the schools holding caucuses. Their solution is to shut down the "at large" caucus sites on the strip. Am I missing something? The rules allow anyone to participated in a caucus at any caucus site, even if they go to the wrong one. So the custodians can freely caucus at their places of employment if they desire. Moreover, if the caucus system is unfair, it is not as to custodians -- it is to people who cannot leave their homes because they are disabled or ill. Where is the outcry from the Hillary supporters about that unfairness? Caucuses by their nature leave people out, but that is the system and the rules we Democrats agreed to. It took an endorsement of Barack Obama by the Culinary Workers Union for this group from the Clinton camp to run to the Federal Courthouse fully 7 months after the plan was approved at a meeting those very people attended! The lawsuit reflects badly on the Democratic Party, on the Clinton campaign and especially on those who are bringing the suit. It is intellectually dishonest for the Sun Editorial Board and for Bill Clinton to defend this maneuver, a tactic one would expect from Carl Rove, not Nevada Democrats.

Senator Reid: Please invite the Air Force to use Yucca Mountain as a test target for conventional bunker-busting bombs. That should end the discussion.
