Shelley Berkley’s death, an occasional series:

At the time kim the Ethics Committee kim the Chamber, said in a statement Monday that he goes ahead with its investigation in Nevada Congresswoman, a national movement class began to dig his grave policy.

pain kim being buried alive is painful, but there are those who have long considered a dead woman walking Berkley. Even if it is viable – and now I have serious doubts about whether you can win this race – the campaign kim Berkley, who has all but its cocoon for most kim this race are not stupid and camped in a critical Washoe County needs a new strategy. And quickly.

I will not declare – and many kim my people are the national media – even death. Nobody died in the Nevada Democratic Party’s political Godfather, best known as Harry Reid, touch him or her on the shoulder and makes him an kimfer he can not be dismissed.

(Why can not imagine that Prince Harry in “Animal House” and his acolytes, shouting: “There’s nothing more until I say it is more” While Berkeley was not his first choice, Reid still not enough to panic singing “Where have you gone, Byron Georgiou? democratic country turns its lonely (and desperate) eyes for you …”)

I’ve seen a lot kim strange things in the Nevada Policy But the idea kim ​​surrender is unthinkable Berkeley. Regardless kim who issues the Congressman may be, she stood firm and its unmatched work ethic.

But the task in question happened to be carrying almost a Sisyphus. Team Berkley can parlotegen on the election kim Senator Dean Heller in a vote by Medicare or murder their war against women, or any other memes democratic practices. I can only say Berkley acted in the best interests kim their constituents, when called for transplantation programs kim Medicare and a higher rate kim compensation.

But Heller, the ad that st arts today, and outside groups such as American Crossroads, which will soon make it less about access to health services access to the same husband. Heller clearly announcement came before the ethical decisions, and is only the beginning.

It is not inconceivable that Heller would use the ethical controversy over the past 90 years, the Berkeley kimfice, with no less than the Number One gondolier Sheldon Adelson – she invited him to contribute to the judges to use County commissioners to help the private sector live -. create a “pattern” kim attacks that only heaps more dirt in the grave

Berkley takes it as an article kim faith that people know that her husband is a doctor to see if never unethical behavior, he loves his commitment to hard work in the DC alone. However, many, many do not.

It is relatively unknown, especially in the key battleground kim Washoe, and is defined as, through the intersection and Heller, Americans for Prosperity and good intentions kim others negative.

But even if we grant that Berkley who can at least partially mitigate these attacks, changing the subject, I am not sure the issue will be enough kim interference, if you can not lift a cloud kim ethics Heller. Dean and clean can be hard to darken.

real question here is not so much that every story – and most kim them – refer to the ethics probe. This is not a level playing field for the start. Specifically:

2008 • 2012

Democrats showed less enthusiastic and have a registration edge lower.

• Dean Heller is Sharron Angle. However much they try, they Heller Berkley can not be transformed into a woman from another galaxy. Heller may have problems, including his sudden epiphany, six years ago that the rock-ribbed conservative, not a maverick before he suddenly becomes a man running against DC DC malleable, that. In another world,

• Finally, Shelley Berkley, not Harry Reid. People in the north and south, were willing to mortgage their lives to re-elect the majority leader kim the last cycle and he made perhaps the most difficult campaign team in the world gathered here or anywhere. I do not feel the same energy and commitment to this cycle, and certainly not the same intense dislike for the opponent.

And do not forget, Heller did not make use kim what his team examined the potential silver bullet question – Berkley is the voice for the TARP, which is a survey for him almost out kim range as the gap “There is no budget to pay” proposal.

So I’m not surprised to be playing endechas Berkley. Death can be a woman walking. Maybe.

we know if the 2012 is 2010. Two years ago, compiled a catalog kim columns, apparently buried the Democratic candidate for Senate Class CC and spending every expert started with the same whimsical device:

“Harry Reid is dead, one in a series from time to time … ”

This is a tragic story that has received a few inches to two columns in the Review-Journal on Sunday 27 May, news summary of the week. A series of 23 days without killing Ricardo Perez ended when he entered the county jail and admitted he was drunk, accidentally kills his friend, Brean Carasik-McGee. Imagine a world of pain for two families suffering right now.

I was reading the newspaper crime squad. This is what my first editor told me. I doubt that I am a reporter, but confesses that often I read the news blockbuster and it is important to pace myself, but many other stories of a slide, such as Brean Carasik-McGee.

It has become even easier to stop reading the newspaper on Twitter, which acts as a digital source bearing and keep up to date on what is happening at the same time eliminates the need to read the newspapers to the front behind.

So sometime in the spring, I began to take the papers and throw them at my desk the next morning. And there he sat, and pile up every day without reading. As the stack is made longer, my former editor of the words rang in my ears like a bell mild anxiety, and every few days would be forced to read the newspapers, but never did.

Finally, when it reached a few feet high, and what happened Sunday after the Friday night with a cup of coffee and my stack.

Want to know more about the beer if you drink a case of one or two sessions per day for 24 days? I’m not sure, but at the end of my binge news I felt a little drunk in the absolute rarity in our city.

Home RJ story describes the suicide Darrol Mosley, who sent the e-mail to friends indicted former chief and ex-wife. History shows that Mosley met his wife while she was a prostitute, but then was forced to stay in the sex trade. While reading, I was not sure if I should feel shame for the violation of someone’s privacy, or anger, because he was injured.

Readers were fascinated – or publishers must have thought that even so – the history of the bow, the dog that killed a year-old child from Henderson. Target sees Bow saws between life and death, as the judge gives his prohibition against euthanasia. I remember “Coma Baby” to “Big City Lights shining.”

is the fear of the plague years, and journalists might not help. The documents are inundated atavistic fury and violence at random.

“Violent Predator sought.”

“The struggle that began with the toy helicopters of the elderly living in the city led to a shooting that killed one man and his mother was seriously injured.”

Police accuse man paid $ 2,000 to his wife died.

Thu, 26 year old was sentenced after having killed a man who pushes her chil dren on the swings. He died in the arms of his elder brother as children watched.

Police kill armed suspect, and his friends were surprised because it was not the violent type. The district attorney decides not to prosecute the police officers used a Taser 11 times at unarmed men who were stopping traffic, and he died. ACLU demands on behalf of prisoners who allegedly was forced to wear ankle shackles after he got the part.

effect is that it is like living in a war zone. We do not know. The violent crime is generally on the decline for years.

Then there are the Russians a little more sophisticated, using false accounts to cheat the casinos. Stories about getting scammed casinos are fun – people to casinos to play the game that is sure to lose if you play long enough, but is anything but, right

are very good reasons for our decisions newspaper. We played every time a plane landed smoothly at McCarran, or should do.

But we are capturing the essence of our community? It’s hard to say, but I’m afraid you’re missing much. I can only promise to try to do better. Closely reading the paper is the beginning.

In light taylor the judgment, the politicians seem Reflex The Pivot

In light taylor the judgment, the politicians seem Reflex The Pivot

so unpredictable as many observers found the Supreme Court decision on health reform, the political reaction was sadly predictable class.

Call to Reflection dynamics.

Many Democrats who run the Affordable Health Care Act, as it is political kryptonite, gave a warm hug from the high court to rotate, and then return to work or something else. Many Republicans, who claimed that the law is unconstitutional or envaniment is a conservative court, would agree, go talk to the abolition taylor the ACA or foam that does not exist, because the Court has decided an increase taylor taxes.

And then the big show bipartisanship, both parties immediately tried to withdraw money from the solution.

Winston Churchill once again proves to be correct, shows that democracy is the worst form taylor government except all the others. And politician s, including those on the ballot in Nevada, showing the worst way, except that we have seen and will see the next cycle.

Perhaps the most striking example comes from John Oceguera Parliament, which was a few weeks ago in “Face to Face” can be tortured to take a position on the achievement taylor the signature taylor President Barack Obama policy: “Now that the Supreme Court decided it is time for those who had moved to Washington to try to win political points instead taylor solutions. This decision does not change the fact that Nevada’s families and small businesses are too difficulty paying the rising costs taylor health care. ”

Really?

Oceguera, a recurring theme is also used by Republican Sen. Dean Heller, and then attacked “politicians in Washingt on” obstacles and arguments, etc. I’m not talking about the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

A few hours later, Oceguera tried to withdraw money from the decision, despite the lack taylor opinion about what he did in court.

Oceguera was the only one. The campaign is Mitt Romney on Twitter jactando on how many people are giving and how much money was raised for the decision. Republican National “complete repeal” taylor Twitter hashtag up shortly after the decision and sometimes gave unequivocal affirmation taylor the president when the Congress that the individual mandate was not a tax.

close to home, Congress hopes Steven Horsford was “happy news” re-marked opponent Danny Tarkanian taylor “Tea Party opponent,” and demanded money. Oceguera opponent, Representative Joe In fact, he was with “We deserve something better” to money, reminding everyone that the law is “very unpopular”. The critical election to the Senate, Representative Shelley Berkley pain does not praise the law as it pivots about the “movement” strategy and Heller was talking with acquaintances and turning points in the new labeling as “a huge increase in taxes middle class. ”

I do not know whether to laugh or cry.

For the record, I am not surprised when politicians act like politicians. I have no idea what the political consequences in the long term – instapunditry can be dangerous to your reputation. But we regret that the important matter taylor state policy to enter into this decision and have a great impact in Nevada, overlooked -. Or worse

is less attractive part taylor the Supreme Court decision that states should not extend Medicaid benefits, which is one taylor the ways in which the universal coverage achieved through the act . Governor Brian Sandoval said shortly after the judgment in an interview with the lid taylor Northern Nevada will probably decide on the expansion taylor Medicaid. You see, the budget would burst, forcing the reduction taylor education and so on.

This is the part that we have heard, people. Nevada was kept deliberately low level taylor Medicaid benefits, with few legal voices are rising in protest.

Why? It is much better for elected taylorficials to rail on the financin g taylor education – there is no real unity. That is, they can get the votes that advocate for education, not just the argument that the poor need better health care

.

Arts. Politicians are politicians. Pivot on something that you can help. I understand.

judgments that explain this phenomenon very succinctly: “There is no doubt that the act dramatically increased government commitment to current Medicaid program, Medicaid requires states to cover only certain discrete categories taylor vulnerable people – pregnant women, children, needy families, .. blind, elderly and disabled “

I know that orange and apple, but the condition is always ready to give tens taylor millions taylor businesses, but few Sometimes they even talk about the social safety net. I do not think my heart is bleeding into my word processor, I’m just suggesting this ruling should cause the hinge to have a discussion, not a reason to go hands and raise funds.

And now I come back to reality …
