Mommy's divorce lawyer says that the Elko cattle ranch, which never did get that tax break despite Daddy Nevada's best efforts, will probably be put up for sale, too. (Sun) Check out that first comment on the Sun story by somebody [...]

Forget 2008: the 2010 Election Season Has Already Begun

The first–no, wait–the second official event of the 2010 Gubathon will be Monday, October 29th when Barbara Buckley has a town hall meeting wherein she'll be giving her first seminar on how to govern the state of Nevada.

We all need reminding about governing since it's been about two years now since Nevada had any serious gubering.

Get in Line, Lady

Dawn yes-she's-still-a GIbbons wants what the rest of us want in these trying times: more security.

She wants her soon-to-be ex, Tightwad McSkanker, to pony up the dough to replace the security detail that he just cut out of the budget.

Gube spokester Kickheifer in his expanded role as go-between while the Gube and Gubelet play the grammar [...]

Monger! Who’s-the-Gube? Confidential!

Over in the RJ, Norm! had some free time to call up the Bucket of Blood in Virginia City to see if the Gube sightings reported by Monger! spies were in fact Gube sightings. (Norm!)

According to Norm! there were indeed Gube sightings at the BoB, but they were of real Gube Kenny Guinn and spouse–no reports [...]

Divorce Deal Off?

Looks like the muzzle is off.

No, I’m not talking about the Chancellor. Everybody will attest to the fact that muzzling Nevada Higher Ed boss Jim Rogers is like training a cat to fetch your slippers. Sounds like a good idea until you sit down to plan the thing out. (Sun)

Dawn’s attorney says that gooberner Jim Gibbons [...]

Okay, Who’s the Bonehead?

What Gibbers' handler had the bright idea of letting the Gube out of his cage, today?

I mean, come on guys. You know what happens when he has a press conference. Either he bumbles through it murmuring in a monotone about some item totally irrelevant or useful to the daily life of the average Nevadan, or, if [...]

Your Tax Dollars At...Play

Yup, aren’t you glad your tax dollars are going to pay for the latest technology to keep your governor in constant communication…with his paramour?

The budget crunch will require Nevada kids to go without all day kindergarten, and universities to go without, um, universities, but don’t you dare touch the governor’s phone money cuz he’s got to [...]

Privatize It!

Folks have been suggesting the governor sell or rent the Carson City manse ever since the Gube stopped living there cuz he was skeered of his wife.

No, let's get some real money out of the place. Turn it into a brothel, and let the Gube do his tom-catting at home instead of burning up state taxes [...]

Our Story So Far…

Need some distraction from the Gube divorce? The RJ will tell you, it’s all just part of the Nevada experience, baby. (RJ)
Speaking of distractions, I told you that Gibbons would declare war on Utah. Or at least the next best thing: an emergency preparedness exercise. (Gube) Well, after al the gaffes, I suppose he’s the expert–in [...]
