Harry Read smiles about invoicing us for a trillion bucks
Gee… Harry, it’s good to see that at least someone has something to smile about right now. That someone sure isn’t us.

As the saying goes, you can’t beat somebody with nobody. And right now the GOP has no clear front-running candidate to take on incumbent Nevada Democrat U.S. Sen. Harry Reid. A look at the potential field, including my personal assessment on the odds on their getting into the race and securing the nomination…
“Majority Leader Harry Reid is taking full advantage of the Democrats’ near supermajority in the Senate, winning a procedural vote in an unusual Sunday session to advance a big package of public lands bills being held up by Republican Tom Coburn.
“It’s hard to pinpoint the worst part of the public lands legislation bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is calling up for an under-the-radar Sunday vote tomorrow,” writes Amanda Carpenter today at TownHall.com. “The 1200-page, pork-laden, $10 billion proposal locks up millions of acres of energy-rich property by designating it as environmentalist-friendly ‘federal wilderness’ area where not even as much as a bicycle would be permitted to travel across the land.”
“(Obama) told Reid to cave (on the Burris appointment). In political terms, Reid rolled up his sleeves, put on his favorite ‘Kiss the Chef’ apron, got his fingers dusty with flour and baked himself a big humble pie. He scarfed it down in front of reporters Wednesday, without a fork, all but licking his fingers, that pie was so sweet and tasty. Mmm-mmm.”

No race in 2010 will be of higher profile and higher impact for both Nevada and the nation than the re-election campaign of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat.
So to ring in the new year, as well as the new era of an almost all-Democrat government – White House, House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Nevada state Assembly and Nevada state Senate – I decided to inaugurate a new semi-regular e-newsletter dedicated to the man from Searchlight.
