Gibbons Vetoes Self

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons plans to defy nature and logic this week when he vetoes a bill which he himself proposed and supported during the Re-elect Jim Gibbons Special Session. (RGJ,Sun)

Apparently the bill was so poorly vetted by the Gube’s crack staff/re-election committee that they decided that their own idea of forcing every office in [...]

The Siren Song of the GOP and Various Gooberlets

Who can resist the siren song of the Republican party these days? Consider the sideshow in the Senate that is Crazy Jim Bunning, holding up an extension of unemployment benefits out of sheer Gibbons-esque nuttiness. Add to that our own Dean Heller calling the unemployed “hobos.” How could anyone possibly resist voting straight Republican this [...]

What Exactly is a Reverse Samsa?

Ah yes, it’s been a Kafkasque day up in Carson as the Legislators and the Guberator grind out the last few hours–maybe–of the Re-elect Jim Gibbons Special Session. (Sun,Sun)

All in all, the Re-elect Gibbons Special Session seems to have fulfilled its purpose: to give the Gube’s re-election bid a, shall we say, jump?

Indeed, it has [...]

Jim's Big Day

I’m sure we all remember, fondly, Jim’s Night Out. Today will be remembered, perhaps as fondly, as Jim’s Big Day. No doubt the Guv expected this day of all days, this day of the Re-elect Jim Gibbons Special Session, to be a day of triumph, wherein he cows the Legislature into crowning him Mr. No [...]

Opposite Man Has Negative Energy

This from a Watching Washington article on National Public Radio about Gubes with presidential mojo:

That’s more than can be said for another governor who was once a mentionee, Mark Sanford of South Carolina. Sanford’s marital meltdown was national news for his secret tryst in South America and his rambling televised confession. But he [...]

Gibbons Can Win The Primary!

The political world is abuzz over news that Jim Gibbons is within striking distance of Brian Sandoval in the Nevada GOP Goobernatorial primary race.

Well, maybe not abuzz. Mildly interested, perhaps.

According to a poll funded by Gibbons’ old pals the Retailers Association of Nevada (RAN), Gibbons in within 6 percentage points of Gibbons-wannabe Brian Sandoval:

Gibbons: 32%

Gibbons Orders Up New Veto Stamp

News is out that in the new spirit of cooperation blowing through Carson City like a snow drift, Jim Gibbons has ordered up a new veto stamp with which to crush that spirit like an egg shell during the Re-elect Jim Gibbons Special Session. (Sun)

Of course, all you fiscal conservatives might be wondering why Jimbo [...]

How Long Until Sandoval Concedes?

The Reno Gazette-Journal insists the Brian Sandoval is, finally, “ramping up” the campaign. (RGJ)

Well, he better hurry up. After the Guber’s fire and brimstone infomercial, his startling undermining of the spirit of campaign finance rules, and the endless divorce, Gibbons is on a media roll! He’ll keep his mug in the limelight throughout the special [...]

Contribute to One Nevada! Assuming That Doesn't Violate the Law...

So, I just got this nifty note from the Guv’s campaign. It was all about how the governor thinks we should all pull together to attack students and legislators as one big happy Nevada!

Well, I won’t bore you with any more of the tirade. However, I am troubled by one thing.

According to those pesky old [...]
