Submarinin' at The Tea Party.
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 04/16/2010 - 10:05pmOn Tax Day it was my day off so I thought I'd go to the Tea Party in front of the Legislature to check out the scene. As a Progressive in my first Tea Party, I found it both exhiliarating and stomach turning. Despite my patchouli scented locks and my tie dyed hat, no one seemed to recognize me as "the enemy" so I browsed and schmoozed freely all over the area. Met 2 ex-coworkers there who were protesting with signs and I even got my picture taken with Govenor Gibbons! (I'll attach it here if I can.) He was real nice.

Politics and Carson Now
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sun, 04/11/2010 - 5:09pmSince a lot of people in Carson City know me from my political column that ran for four years in the Nevada Appeal, many asked if Carson Now would follow along the same philosophical slant.
The answer is no. But is Carson Now an "objective" news source? No way.
As someone who enjoys politics and has friends all over the political spectrum, I set out to make Carson Now open to all viewpoints. Anyone can sign up for an account and write whatever they want, subject only to keeping the content PG rated so as not to offend our younger viewers.
Dean Heller spins some tall tales for his hometown friends
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sat, 04/10/2010 - 10:22amI've always liked Dean Heller. We might disagree politically, but my interactions with him have always been friendly. He seems like a truly nice person, the opposite of the what we see in some other Nevada politicians.
But watching him this week at the NNDA breakfast reminded me that Dean's ambition is clearly more important than adherence to truth.
You see, Dean used to come off as a lot more moderate than he does today. As assemblyman and Secretary of State, he championed causes that don't exactly line up with the national GOP's ideology.

Submitted by on Sun, 02/21/2010 - 11:34amEditorial by Dave Morgan
An article in the Nevada Appeal this morning attempts to get new information from the Nugget Project’s “go to guy,” Steve Neighbors. Neighbors, who is now the owner of the Nugget, is quoted as saying that the project still lacks a developer to shoulder the “private industry” half of the project. That’s about all that’s new from Neighbors, that they STILL don’t have a private partner.
