Will Nye County reject the federal money Obama OK’d for school teachers, cops and firemen today?


Today, President Obama  signed legislation to provide urgent fiscal relief to school districts across the country to maintain our education system, and to enable 160,000 teachers to keep their jobs.

The 160,000 figure is nationwide. Nevada’s share is 1,400 teachers.

I assume that a portion of those 1,400 teachers will be here in Nye County.

The question is: “Will those Nye County residents that are concerned about Obama’s ‘big government spending’ rise up  in protest, demanding the federal money be rejected?”

By the way, Senator John Ensign voted No (to reject the money) and Senator Harry Reid voted Y (to take the money). [Congress.Org]

Movies and popcorn

I like movies. I watch a lot of them of all kinds. I used to watch most movies on DirectTV. You know, HBO, Starz, and the other premium channels.

But DirectTV doesn’t change their movie showings often enough. I’d watch the movies they had on, then have to wait until they changed their list so I could watch movies I hadn’t already seen. Those “premium” channels cost and arm and a leg.

So I decided to pare down my monthly subscription costs to DirectTV. I decided to get my movies from Netflix. I tried to unsubscribe from HBO, Starz and the other premium channels from DirectTV online. Can’t do it. You can sign up for those channels online but you can’t unsubscribe to them online. You have phone them to do so.

I realize they don’t want to lose customers by making it easy to unsubscribe. So I get some customer representative online and told her I wanted to unsubscribe to all those premium channels because I didn’t want to continue to pay and not be able to see movies except for the same old ones week in and week out. Told her I intended to get my movies from Netflix because I could pick and choose from tens of thousands of them and watch what I wanted rather than be stuck with those DirectTV kept showing. Besides Netflix was a heck of a lot less expensive than DirectTV. She kept trying to talk me out of it but I was relentlessly determined and stuck to my guns.

I did hate to give up HBO I must confess.

So, I’m now with Netflix for my movies. Today I read that Netflix is expanding their library of streaming movies. Was happy to read that.

Nomination of Elena Kagan, of Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States – Vote Confirmed (63-37)

The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to be a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She was sworn in on Saturday.

Sen. John Ensign voted NO……send e-mail or see bio
Sen. Harry Reid voted YES……send e-mail or see bio


It is interesting to note that Senator John Ensign voted NO on the bill the Senate passed to provide aid to the states, including Nevada, to help Nevada extend Medicaid, secure and retain the jobs of teachers. Notice also that Senator Harry Reid voted YES.

Wonder why Senator Ensign voted to ignore Nevada who desperately needs some financial assistance currently?

Carolene Endersby–Part I

This is segment I of a video of Carolene Endersby, a candidate for the Town Board of Pahrump, Nevada.

Carolene was interviewed for about 20 minutes about where she came from, how she came to Pahrump, why she is running for election, what she hopes to accomplish if elected.

There will be a series of  of incremental clips of that entire 20 minute interview uploaded to YouTube and posted on this blog. The reason for the increments is to chop the 20 minutes into small bites making it possible to upload the files for your viewing. YouTube won’t permit uploading an entire 20 minute video—thus it must be done in increments.

In addition to this blog the video’s will appear on Twitter and that way transmitted to some 211 followers of tweets I publish. Additionally the video series will appear on Mrs. Endersby’s campaign website. Also, the videos will be displayed on Friends of Carolene Endersby for Pahrump Town Board on Facebook. Of course you can always see her videos on YouTube.

The plan is to upload each segment in about two-minute segments because of the size of videos and because it permits a viewer to download the videos to watch much faster than it would take it the entire 20 minutes of video would have to be downloaded.

You are welcome and invited to contact Mrs. Endersby about her campaign, her plans and aspirations concerning the Town of Pahrump. You can contact her on her campaign website or Facebook or via her email at ecarolene@gmail.com or phone her at 775-513-0709. Additionally, her calendar schedule is contained on her campaign website so that you will know when and where she will be appearing throughout Pahrump during her campaign. That way you can meet with her personally.

Lots of people in Pahrump have particular concerns about their town and community over a wide range of matters. Mrs. Endersby is aware of that and wishes to meet as many of you as possible to discuss the matters which concern you most. So take advantage of the opportunities to talk with her. You will find she is an excellent listener, very intelligent, very committed to improving our community here in Pahrump. I can assure you that you will be glad you took the time and exerted the effort to meet her.

Pahrump Businesses Being Victimized

facebook‎Just received an important e-mail. I wasted (wanted?) to share an unfortunate situation with you in hipes (hopes) that the info may be shared with other businesses in our area. Someone is victimizing P-Town (Pahrump-Town) businesses by obtaining bank account info, making and cashing fake checks against those businesses. I was told that there are at least 2 other Pahrump businesses who have already been victimized.

Note: I just picked this up from Positive Pahrump on Facebook. It is an accurate quote except I corrected some of the spelling. That is all the information contained in Facebook post. I have no idea as to its authenticity or which businesses have been victimized. Just wanted to put it out as an alert.

That is what she told Carl Cameron on FOX news. Watch.

She is a bit naive.

Sharron Angle and Anti-abortion

Jon Ralston asks Sharron Angle about her position on a situation in which a 13-year old girl is raped by her father, would she permit an abortion.

Mrs. Angle told a conservative talk show host Bill Manders that there is no reason for an abortion in her book.

She distinguishes her position on pro-life in death penalty cases. Execution is apparently OK in her book because the executionee is not an innocent.

I’m taking it that she doesn’t see the 13 year old girl as an innocent.

Harry Reid is right. Sharron Angle is too extreme in her view.

The only question, I suppose, that remains is whether or not she is too extreme for Nevada?

She isn’t too extreme for the Nevada Republican Party or the Tea Baggers. But she is for me.
