WE’RE SORRY, SEN. REID
As you may have read, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid’s motorcade was involved in a traffic accident last Friday on I-15 near the Sahara Avenue exit. Fortunately no one was seriously injured and no cause for the accident has been reported by the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Alas, I think you and I may have been responsible!
As you can see in the accompanying photograph, the accident occurred in exactly the same location on I-15 as one of our “Operation Irritation” billboards.
My guess is Sen. Reid’s driver saw the billboard and got so angry that he crashed his vehicle.
Not that we’re rooting for car crashes, but if you still haven’t contributed to the Operation Irritation billboard project, or want to learn more about it, just click here
JOE HECK VS. JOHN OCEGUERA
I’m finding it awfully difficult to argue with former university chancellor Jim Rogers these days. Consider this tweet from him this morning:
I watch and listen to Joe Heck’s ads. I interviewed him twice on my noon show, Inside Nevada. I would estimate that I agree with less than 50% of his positions on issues affecting Nevadans. Joe is a thinking, very considerate, open-minded, hard-working and genuine person. Those traits for me trump any differences he and I have philosophically.
On the other hand, John Oceguera, whom I’ve known for at least ten years, and who has appeared on Inside Nevada at least twice, is a man without any character. He has, as they say, gamed the system in that he’s become wealthy being a fireman and doing nothing to save this county and city money from the financial abuses of state and local employees. I have no idea what John Oceguera stands for other than he stands for John Oceguera. If he doesn’t scare you, you should reexamine your viewpoint.
The Heck-Oceguera contest is not even a close question for me. My choice would be Heck.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“The old Chinese Proverb was: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. The new Obama version: Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for his clunker, food stamps, Section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free meds, and he will vote Democratic the rest of his life...even after he's deceased!” – Author unknown
