Politics: Why caucuses suck
By K.W. Jeter
I knew the caucuses weren’t going well, even before I found myself sitting across a table from an Obama supporter wearing a shirt that read, I’M SICK OF WHITE BITCHES.
And I didn’t come to my caucus location as a Clinton supporter. Both my wife and I came as Edwards ... >more
Steve Friess: Big, bad and ugly by Steve Friess
The four worst ideas in Vegas
Most of the time, the brains behind the Strip and Las Vegas get it right, at least when it comes to investing private money. The really great, viable big ideas get built in record time—hello, CityCenter and Palazzo—and the dumb ones—Las Ramblas and Ivana’s Tower spring instantly to mind—fade away be... >more
Picking (who Nevada might pick as) the next prez by Damon Hodge
Our completely unscientific, totally subjective, way ahead of the curve, not-approached-by-Karl Rove handicapping of the 2008 race

How Bill Richardson lost Nevada last week by Steve Friess
And nobody else noticed

Politics: A bloody media mirror by Norman Solomon
Many of America’s most prominent journalists want us to forget what they were saying and writing more than four years ago to boost the invasion of Iraq. Now, they tiptoe around their own roles in hyping the war and banishing dissent to the media margins.

Politics: Silence of the Bombs by Norman Solomon
The Silence of the Bombs
Three years have passed since most Americans came to the conclusion that the Iraq war was a “mistake.” Reporting the results of a Gallup poll in June 2004, USA Today declared: “It is the first time since Vietnam that a majority of Americans has called a major deployment of U.S. forces a mistake.” An... >more
Awful Truth About Hillary, Barack, John… and Whitewash by Norman Solomon

In which the Weekly dotes on the Republican senator from Arizona
If I were a Republican in Nevada today, I would cast my vote, without a tremble in my hand, for Arizona’s Senator John McCain to represent my party in the 2008 presidential election. I would.
