HANDICAPPED PARKING
Got this from a friend in my email box this morning…
Today I had to run to our local supermarket. As I approached the entrance, I noticed a driver looking for a parking space. I flagged the driver and pointed out a parking space in the handicap area. The driver looked puzzled.
''I'm not handicapped,'' she said.
Well, was my face red. ''Oh, sorry about that, I saw your Obama sticker and just assumed...''
She gave me the finger and called me some dirty names. The way some people behave when you're just trying to help them...
HORSFORD STEALS AL SHARPTON’S PLAYBOOK
Ann Coulter has a new book out – “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama” – and you might swear she was writing about Nevada Democrat candidate Steven Horsford.
Elizabeth Flock of U.S. News & World Report reports that “Coulter posits that the left consistently plays the ‘race card’ in order to keep the black vote, by accusing Republicans of racism when it's not deserved.” She adds that Coulter also “says Democrats pretend that Republicans are racist because it's the only way they can win.”
Sounds exactly like what Horsford has done to his GOP challenger, Danny Tarkanian. Right out of Al Sharpton’s playbook. But this is nothing new and nothing to worry about. It’s all Horsford has. And it ain’t much. People are finally catching on to it. And him.
Which reminds me…
Had a conversation yesterday with a well-respected Carson City insider who was in on the budget negotiations during the special session in 2010…and the picture painted ain’t pretty.
The person said Horsford exhibited an “explosive temper” and would bang of the table and get right up into former state Sen. Bill Raggio’s face. “Steven Horsford is just a horrible human being,” this person told me.
Why am I not surprised? And this guy should go to Washington?

DRIVE-BY MUTHINGS
* The 2,000th American soldier was killed in Afghanistan this weekend. Yet the Mitt Romney campaign wants to get back to talking about the economy instead of foreign policy?
* President Barack Obama’s plan is remove our troops from Afghanistan in 2014. When we leave, we won’t have won…and there won’t be any peace. Yet the Romney campaign wants to get back to talking about the economy instead of foreign policy?
* At a campaign rally in Las Vegas yesterday, the president said, "As I travel around (Nevada) I don't see a lot of victims." With the nation’s highest unemployment, bankruptcy and foreclosure rates, maybe he should try traveling around the state with his eyes, you know, open.
* Obama also said he’s “just OK” at debating, hoping to tamp down expectations for his debate Wednesday with Romney. Oh, puh-lease. Talking is the ONLY thing he’s good at. So good, that he can talk out of both sides of him mouth with a straight face.
* Obama is reportedly staying at the Westin at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson through Wednesday. I have a previously-scheduled meeting at the Westin tomorrow. I can only imagine the security troubles I’m gonna have.
I wonder if he needs another debate partner?
* A week after the non-union replacement refs arguably cost Green Bay a game broadcast nationally on Monday Night Football, the back-to-work regular union refs arguably almost cost the Eagles last night’s Sunday Night Football game and arguably did cost the Giants the game.
* Meanwhile, Bryce Harper’s Washington Nationals are already in the baseball playoffs, and my Baltimore Orioles cinched at least a wild-card spot yesterday. They are tied with the despised New York Yankees for the division title with three games to go. The Beltway Series possibility lives!
* Justin Bieber tossed his cookies twice onstage at a concert in Phoenix this weekend. He tweeted that drinking milk was a bad choice. Maybe that’s why so many rock stars prefer liquor.
* Republican state Sen. Michael Roberson announced over the weekend that he intends to seek $20 million a year in the next legislative session to fund the hiring of 200 new teachers and 200 new instruction aids to teach Hispanic children, many certainly in the country illegally, how to speak English.
Really? (Hat tip: RalstonFlash)
* Jon Ralston’s Face to Face political television show is officially dead. From the ashes tonight will rise a new brand, Ralston Reports. Same show – “commentary and news you won’t find anywhere else” – but new name.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
"If I were American, I'd vote for Obama." - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
"Romney now finds himself besieged with conflicting advice, internally and externally: Attack Obama harder. Offer a detailed agenda. Pivot to foreign policy. Pivot back to the economy. Romney's response: Ignore it and stick to the game plan, which does not include any serious, sustained detour into foreign policy. His internal polls show the same thing as Obama's: Voters just don't care much about foreign policy in this election. This is the reason Obama was so quick to drop his attack on Romney for not mentioning the troops or Afghanistan in his convention speech." - Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei of Politico
