Money bad!

Anyone else find it weird that the “capitalism rules!” Republicans are targeting Mitt Romney for being ... a vulture capitalist? I would have thought that would make him their poster boy for the millennium. —Ken Miller, associate editor

Golden phobes

Those who fear the Golden Globes favor popularity over substance should check out the People’s Choice Awards. Demi Lovato won favorite pop star over Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, for crying out loud. —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Say what?

Regarding Spotify’s claim that it provides access to “almost all of the world’s recorded music,” try searching for most any Las Vegas band that’s ever been in a studio. And this is just one city among thousands in the world. So, no. —Spencer Patterson, managing editor

Add fad

Facebook now adds “in Las Vegas, Nevada” to the end of all my photo captions, thus turning into the equivalent of adding “in bed” to the end of every fortune cookie message. —Rick Lax, staff writer

Burr buzz

Very happy to hear that artist David Sanchez Burr is opening Multiplexer, a new gallery in Emergency Arts, next month devoted to the medium of video as art form designed to kindle critical thinking. —Kristen Peterson, staff writer
