Interchange opens! Old people mad!
August 19, 2008
The Clark County Commission told county staffers to open the all-but-finished Lake Mead Boulevard interchange with the Las Vegas Beltway.

Reflections on the campaign
June 7, 2008
Like Hillary Clinton, I have had few days to reflect on the recently concluded, long-suffering campaign to choose the presidential nominee for the Democrats.
I was going to write something yesterday, but seeing as how Senator Clinton was going to address her supporters and the nation today, I decided to wait, just in case she said something surprising – or wore a dress.

Mean Girls
March 14, 2008
Forget hot girlfriends, dontcha wish L.A. Fashion Week had a better finale? The Pussycat Dolls closed the show.

Of course "over here" is outside the doors of the show because I didn't get in.
But neither did Bobby Trendy, the hot Asian judge on "Dancing with the Stars" or Whitney Port of "The Hills" (at least not on her first attempt in which she forgot her all access pass, AKA Lauren Conrad).
