DRIVE-BY MUTHINGS
--> The Girl Scouts are reportedly suffering a severe drop in
membership for the second year in a row.
Not surprising. The organization
has become increasingly politically correct, is nowhere near as much fun as the
Boy Scouts for active girls who outgrew their dolls years ago, and insists on
forcing the kids (actually, their parents) to serve as hucksters for the cookie
industry.
--> The Stupidity Virus – more contagious than Ebola could ever
hope to be - has struck yet another public school! According to Gawker.com…
“A Mobile, Ala., mom says school officials forced her daughter to sign a contract promising not to commit suicide or harm others after the kindergartner ‘drew something that resembled a gun,’ then pointed a crayon at another kid and said ‘pew, pew!’"
The dumbass school officials went even further, suggesting
the kid’s mom take the kid to see a psychiatrist. The kids mom told ‘em to pound sand. Morons.
--> The Washington Post is reporting that as we enter the final
weeks of Campaign 2014, “some wild cards are on the table in states where the
GOP had been expecting easy victories on its way to gaining six seats for
control of the Senate.”
Apparently the Post missed the memo about “Republicans never
blowing an opportunity to blow an opportunity.”
--> That said, recent polling shows that Republicans in all
three competitive seats for the NEVADA state Senate this year are leading. The candidates are flush with cash and are
taking NO CHANCES of making a verbal gaffe by ducking media interviews and
debates with their opponents.
I mean,
there’s no way for Senate Minority Leader Moderate
Mike Roberson to blow this opportunity, right?
HELP HENDERSON TEACHER WIN $100,000 FOR HER SCHOOL!
In case you missed my column on this last
March, C.T. Sewell Elementary School in Henderson is everything you’d want a
government school to be. High academic
standards, strict discipline, teachers who care about the students more than the
teachers union, and a principal and staff who don’t whine about not having
enough money and instead go out and raise more themselves.
Well, one of the amazing teachers there, Brenda Moynihan, entered the “Dream Big
Teacher Challenge” contest sponsored by Farmers Insurance Group and has
advanced to the final round in the Southwest Region.
If she wins, C.T. Sewell will receive a whopping $100,000
grant which will be used to “incorporate technology into Sewell’s classrooms
and learning center so the school’s students - who rarely have access to computers
or tablets at home - can more readily meet today’s academic expectations.”
Moynihan made it to the Final Three in the Southwest
region. She’s up against one teacher
from California and another from Arizona. The winner will be determined by how
many votes each teacher gets from now until November 30…and you can vote once a
day EVERY day.
Let’s help bring this home for Ms. Moynihan and the kids at
C.T. Sewell Elementary! I’m including
the link below…and will include it in each newsletter from now until the
contest ends. All you’ll have to do is
click on the link, vote for Ms. Moynihan, confirm your vote by clicking on the
link in the email you’ll receive each day, and…well, that’s it. That’s all there is to it.
NEVADA MARKETING SUMMIT
With the election season (thankfully) almost over, it’s time
for many of us to get back to what’s REALLY important: running our
businesses and trying to make enough money to pay all the taxes that Gov. Brian Sandoval and Sen. Moderate Mike Roberson are going to
raise next year.
So starting this week
- on Tuesday, October 14 - the Nevada Marketing Association will begin
sponsoring a decidedly NON-POLITICAL monthly luncheon, hosted by George Harris, proprietor of Mundo: A
Culinary Haute Spot.
The monthly Nevada Marketing Summit focuses on ways for
small businesses and entrepreneurs to get more customers, sell more products or
services, and earn more profits. This
month’s topic: “How to Write a Book in 90
Minutes.” In the presentation, you’ll
learn…
- Why every business owner and entrepreneur should author a book
- Why every business owner and entrepreneur CAN author a book
- How to write your book in 90 minutes without actually “writing” it
- “Insider” tips on length, style, size, layout, fonts, color, etc.
- The important first “chapter” that almost everyone forgets to include
- The one-stop, inexpensive, hassle-free way to get your book self-published without having to purchase thousands at a time
- Where to get help laying out the book and designing the cover that won’t cost you a fortune (no they’re not in the U.S.)
There’s no registration fee this month. Just pay for your own lunch. For more information and/or to RSVP, click here
If you can’t make it this month but want to be put on the
email list to be reminded of future meetings, just enter your name and email
address on the same page.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“In Assembly District 41, Republican Vicki Dooling is
looking to unseat Democrat Paul Aizley.
Mr. Aizley is hostile to business.
He also chaired a committee that quashed the efforts of the state to
gain more control over federal land. Ms.
Dooling understands the economic importance of putting more federal land under
state and local control, then get that land into private-sector hands and onto
the property tax rolls.” – Las Vegas Review-Journal in endorsing
Dooling in the AD 41 race, 10/11/14
