WELCOME TO RALSTON
RETORTS!
Jon Ralston,
Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger, never misses an opportunity to slam a conservative
or ridicule a typo, grammar error or other mistake.
But quite often, his own “facts” are…well,
wrong. Plus his own blog posts (no Nevada
newspaper runs his columns any longer) are littered with the same kinds of
typos, grammar errors and other mistakes that he criticizes others for.
So
on Sunday I decided to shine a light on Ralston’s partisanship and hypocrisy by
creating a new website project for Citizen Outreach: RALSTON | Retorts.
The
essence of the site is really quite simple...
When Ralston lies, tells
half-truths, gets facts wrong, makes a grammar mistake, spells a word
incorrectly, etc., we’ll point it out and call
him on it.
And wait’ll you see all the
foul-ups I posted just from yesterday alone!
Especially the one where Ralston “pulled
a Hickey” and wrote about the “spadework” a black Republican candidate has been
doing. Absolutely unbelievable. What a dick.

FIRST FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR
This
month’s First Friday Happy Hour is this Friday, October 4 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm
at the Blue Martini in Town Square on the south end of the Strip in Las Vegas.
Our
VIP guest-of-honor will be our 2014
Courage Under Fire award recipient, Amanda
Collins.
If this courageous young
woman’s name is unfamiliar to you, click here and
read one of the many stories about her being sexually assaulted in a UNR campus
garage and how she’s tried valiantly to change Nevada law so that her
experience isn’t visited upon other unarmed college students in the future.
THE BILBRAY FILES
On
Saturday Rhonda
Foxx sent an email out on behalf of the Erin Bilbray-without-the-Kohn campaign which read as follows:
“I am sorry to bother you so much this week, but there's a reason: Monday is a major fundraising deadline. In fact, it's the most important of our campaign. Erin asked me to give you our latest finance update. As of 4PM, we're just $432.19 short of reaching our quarterly goal.”
Problem
is, Foxx doesn’t say what the quarterly goal is. Which is awfully convenient! By not publicly setting the bar, whatever
amount they raise can be conveniently construed as in excess of the goal since
no one knows what the goal is.
Personally,
I
think that anything under $500,000 for such a well-connected Democrat
running in one of the Top Five most competitive seats in the entire
country would have to
be seen as an epic fail.
KIRNER TAX
Hoo-wee! Is Assemblyman Randy Kirner steamed over me referring to his Kirner Tax as the Kirner
Tax.
The
Reno RINO huffed and puffed and crayoned a lame-o letter-to-the-editor which
was published on Saturday by the Nevada Appeal where my column on the Kirner
Tax explaining why the Kirner Tax is called the Kirner Tax appeared a week ago.
If you missed it, go to www.KirnerTax.com
Here’s
part of Kirner’s fine whine without the cheese…
“Honestly, when a legislator is representing his constituency by calling for a quintessential American democratic approach such as a vote of the people on taxes they would incur, how awkward to enter into name calling like ‘sheep-dip’ and ‘butt-covering’ unless there is another motive. As it turns out, there is. You see, I have an opponent in the Primary and he is supporting her. The more he attempts to discredit me, the more he advances his personal agenda, pure and simple.”
What
a load of sheep-dip (uh-oh). The voters of
Washoe County already voted on a similar tax hike recently and rejected it
resoundingly. The people did not ask for
this new Kirner Tax hike; school bureaucrats did. The Kirner Tax is before the county
commissioners and *might* go to a vote of the people because that’s what
Kirner, not “the people,” wanted.
Oh,
and I’m not “supporting” Kirner’s primary opponent, Lisa Krasner, who also opposes the Kirner
Tax. I’m supporting ANY conservative who
will oppose Kirner and his Kirner Tax.
My “personal agenda” is to elect more conservatives who won’t raise
taxes and grow government the way Kirner has, especially with his Kirner
Tax.
So look…if you decide to email Assemblyman Kirner to explain to him why you don’t
support the Kirner Tax and why he should stop pimping for the Kirner Tax, PLEASE,
WHATEVER YOU DO, don’t use the words “sheep-dip” or “butt-covering” –
even though his arguments in favor of the Kirner Tax are full of sheep-dip and he’s
now trying to cover his political butt.
Again
please, if I give you Assemblyman Kirner’s email address, you gotta promise not
to write him in opposition to the Kirner Tax. And if you DO write him to oppose the Kirner Tax, please don’t call it the Kirner Tax or use the terms “sheep-dip”
and “butt-covering.”
Promise?
OK,
here’s his email address: randy.kirner@gmail.com
FREE MARKET SUGAR
The Washington Examiner published a new
column I wrote on the issue of eliminating sugar subsidies worldwide. You can read it here
