Trash talk isn’t always a bad thing

Allow me to warn you that this month’s Home Matters is filled with all kinds of trash talk. In fact, I’ve been trash talking with the city and BC Wastefree for a few days now. Why all this garbage gab? It’s time to take out the trash, properly.

Legislative season almost here

MY D_Y WITH P_T _ND V_NN_

Last night I caught a few minutes of “Wheel of Fortune” and whenever I do, I can’t help but think back to my time in Hawaii when the show came over to film a few weeks’ worth of episodes at the Hilton Waikoloa Village about 15 years ago.

Bundy will not win against law

In October 1973, the Nixon administration was deep in scandals from its various forms of corruption. Vice President Spiro Agnew was under investigation for the bribes he had taken as Maryland governor and vice president. News of the probe had become public and Agnew did a slow burn about the publicity.

Bundy’s saga echos Shoshone sisters’ story

Mary and Carrie Dann never received a visit from the camouflage cavalry, and I’m not sure whether they would have welcomed the support of armed militia.

Nevada GOP moves boldly into new leadership role

The Nevada Republican Party has officially chosen for the top two ballot slots for the 2014 election cycle a Hispanic and a woman, two demographics Republicans have struggled mightily to woo in recent elections.
