…a quick glance at the list of registered lobbyists who have signed up to persuade lawmakers at the Feb. 23 special session includes almost exclusively governments, retired public employees, cops, unions and old people. (You know, the ones who are about to be relieved of their eyeglasses, dentures, hearing aids and diapers.)
So far, we have lobbyists from the cities of Henderson and Reno, the Clark County School District, Metro Police, the Retired Public Employees of Nevada, the Southern Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs, the Metro Police Protective Association and the American Association of Retired Persons. At this hour, the only private business with a registered lobbyist is James DeGraffenreid III’s insurance agency (and Mr. G also represents the Nevada Republican Party, of course).
Oh, and David Schwartz of the Marijuana Policy Project and Nevadans for Sensible Marijuana Laws will be in the house, too, asking lawmakers staring at huge deficits, “Now can we please legalize and tax pot?”

Bang the Drum Slowly …
C’Mon NV Media “News”! You, Me & THE ENTIRE “MEDIA” Circus knows the answer to this: Through their Lap Dog Lobbyists, The Plutocracy long ago deigned that ANY threat to their Rule Of Bribes (as opposed to Rule Of Law) would result in Gridlock, so as to cause the offending Reps of The People to be voted out. Thus, lobby money shut down SANE production.
Can OUR Imbecilic & Moronic Electorate figure out that CONGRESS must pass FUNDING to the LAWS passed by the SENATE, which the Executive Branch is then constitutionally charged with carrying out? The Constitution is not ambiguous on the responsibilities of the three branches. 60 vote majority? Passport to Terror by Filibuster. Do they teach “Government” in schools anymore?
“The President”, as such, IS NOT Your Daddy; obliged to bail you out of the ignorant messes YOU have voted yourself into! These are THE SAME Idiots that voted for the Supremes that have declared that Corporations have every right to buy elections: MOVE JOBS OVERSEAS LOBBY MONEY … the Right to buy elections.
The Birther-Tea Party nut-cases will happily embrace higher health care premiums & Republicrat Employers hiring illegals, so long as That “Non-American, Foreigner” President gets voted out; Invitation to rape by politician … Or: Hasn’t the Comedy Central Parade of Nevada Politicians ALREADY demonstrated that Nevada Voters are THE most ignorant Gang Of Morons On The Planet, right after North Korea & Iran?
Pogo comic strip said it best “I have seen the enemy & it is US!”
