  4. Scozzafava Collapses, Republicans Refocus

    The events of the last 24 hours have pretty much clinched it: NY-23 is now officially a two-man race between the Democratic nominee Bill Owens and the Conservative Party upstart Doug Hoffman.

    From NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions to former Gov. George Pataki to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (through his operative, Jake Menges), Republicans are quickly abandoning their nominee, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, and backing Hoffman in a last-ditch effort to keep former Rep. John McHugh's seat in GOP hands and, perhaps more importantly, deny the Obama administration a much-needed political victory.

    "I think it’s now to a point where we’ve got to win the Republican seat; it’s not about liberal or conservative," said a GOP consultant. "It’s about if we don’t help (Hoffman) over the finish line, Owens is going to win."

    "Dede’s out of it," the consultant continued. "The bottom has dropped out on her. She can’t win it. Looks like Sessions and the national Republicans are seeing that. It was a poor choice on Sessions' part to go with her in the first place."

    Another Republican on the ground in NY-23 said the Republican rush to embrace Hoffman was motivated in no small part to yesterday's DailyKos poll that found him in a dead heat with Owens (33-32) with Scozzafava trailing badly at 21 percent.

    The third and final Siena poll of the NY-23 race will be released tomorrow Sunday. When Siena last weighed in on this race on Oct. 15, it found Owens leading by four percentage points with Scozzafava losing ground and Hoffman moving up fast.

    But, but, Hoffman's a Creationist Tea Partier! How can this be happening to our beloved RINO Dede despite our smear attempt?

  24. I'm out of my bubble bath.

    In time to watch Michele Bachmann on Hannity.

    She's calling for 'bus loads' of people to hit the capital and 'walk the halls' of Congress. Against anything Nancy Pelosi does. She gave out the building names,Rayburn, etc.

    Michele Bachmann is a profound liar.

    First, she knows, as a member of Congress, that security precludes people getting into any of the buildings without clearance. I know this for a fact because of the meetings on the Hill that I have to make. I also know this because when we arrange clients' 'fly ins' we have to get clearances for all our clients.

    Next, her 'busload' comment ignores the fact that no vehicle gets to within - pick a number - I'll say a thousand - feet of any government bulding anywhere.

    They have guns. Everywhere.

    I've supported Bachmann on ideolgical grounds.

    But no more.

    And Sean Hannity needs to be taken to the woodshed.

    He knows everything I know. And he's supporting this nut case.

    This is sick and very twisted. The McCain campaign will stop at nothing to continue the negative attacks. And the only reason for the negative attacks is because he does not have any solutions for the real issues that America is facing right now!!!! He is out of touch with America. But I guess those who thought that this was funny from Amazon.com agrees with McCain and his twisted issues. I WILL NEVER SHOP AMAZON.COM AGAIN! KNOW THIS!

  113. Economic "Recovery" Without Economic Growth

    Somebody needs to tell the President that it's not economic "growth" if the money is taken from those who produced it and given to the more politically favored who did not produce it. For example, taking money from a hard working business person or a successful corporation and giving it to, say, ACORN, is not economic growth. The continuing high jobless rate demonstrates this all the more. There can only be economic growth when new wealth is created. Wealth is not being created in America. It's being taken from those who earned it and doled out to those who didn't. Capitalism creates wealth. Socialism moves it around. You'd think by now that America would have learned the difference.

  115. I think that socialist/statist do not believe that wealth is ever really created. I think that they believe it is only moved around.

    For them, economics is a zero sum game. This is how they justify taking money from "the haves" and giving it to "the have nots."

    Or more basely, needing a justification for their naked lust for power, they convince themselves that economics is a zero sum game.

    Nevada's always been a weird place:

    -Nevada became a state on Halloween.

    -Nevada became a state in 1864, during the Civil War. Our state motto is "Battle Born", despite the fact that no significant Civil War battles were ever fought here.

    -"Las Vegas, Nevada" is Spanish for "The Snowcapped Meadows", which is the last thing anyone pictures when they hear that phrase.

    -There is exactly ONE correct way to pronounce "Nevada". (Want to pretend you're clever and pronounce it in the original Spanish? OK - they pronounce it "Neh-Baa-da", with a B sound. Even Nevadans who were born and raised in Spain don't use that pronunciation here.)

    Plane Crashes Near Texas Station Casino

    LAS VEGAS -- A plane crashed near Texas Station at about 5 p.m. today. The plane, a Dragonfly Mark II registered out of Las Vegas, came to a rest on the west side of Rancho Blvd. just south or Coran Lane.

    According to Capt. Cedric Williams with the North Las Vegas Fire Department, the plane had two people on board when it crashed. One person was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The second refused treatment.

    Authorities say the small experimental plane had just taken off from the North Las Vegas Airport. Only minutes later it somehow lost all it's power. "Ending up coming down, striking a wire to a telephone pole, crossing about six lanes of traffic," said Lt. Joe Ojeda with Las Vegas Metro Police.

    But before the plane made a crash landing, it also hit Candice Porter's SUV. "It felt like something had fallen onto my roof, actually, but it was the tail of that aircraft that clipped it," she said. "It could have been worse. He could have hit the front end of my truck."

    There was also a fuel leak on the plane after it crashed, but authorities say because of the fast response, they were able to quickly take care of it.

    Metro has wrapped up with their part of the investigation. It will now be turned over to the National Transportation Safety Board.

    Things get really weird...not that there's any noticeable change.
    ;)

    Let's see:
    Circus Circus converts the Adventuredome into the Fright Dome for all of October

    The Fremont Street Experience overhead show changes to halloween inspired music and video for the last 2 weeks of October.

    The Bellagio Water Show mixes some halloween-related music in with it's standards (Alfred Hitchcock Show Theme, This Is Halloween, etc.)

    The NYNY added the "Zombie Precinct" Haunted House this year.

    Just about every social gathering place (clubs, big restaurants) has costume contests the last week of October.

    There's more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.
