Frank Morreale stands behind the glass counter and pats his holstered pistol - a Smith & Wesson .38 special. He likes it because it’s light and it hangs on his belt the way a cell phone might - both unobtrusive and useful.
“Every time,” he said. “When Hillary Clinton announced she was running, I was swamped. Guns were flying off the shelf.”
He also likes it because it’s a gun. See, Morreale likes all kinds of guns. Big ones, small ones, long ones and short ones. Rifles and pistols. Ones with recoil and ones that won’t move your hand but a whisper when fired.
“We live in Nevada,” he said. “We like to shoot things.”
Like what?
“Anything that moves.”

It made Mills Lane famous. It began Mike Tyson’s journey from star to laughing stock (”I’ll eat his children!”). It’s the ear bite. And it happened in Vegas, baby!
Not to be outdone by it’s much bigger and richer brother to the south, Reno has entered the ear biting fray in a way that only Reno can. Nope, not in a televised heavyweight title match. There wasn’t even a referee in this one. It was a lame-ass family dispute that brought us this instance.

Tourism officials say the fallout has been dramatic

No, a new war was waged this week by a fathers’ rights group calling for an end to Nevada’s overt celebration of angry crotch-kicking females.
Specifically, fathers’ rights advocates by the multiple thousands have been calling for an end to a television advertisement running on southern Nevada airwaves. Their campaign has already caused a loss of billions dollars of state revenue by encouraging people not to visit what the group calls a misogynistic, man-hating, testicle-crushing state.
The commercial, produced by the Southern Nevada Water Authority, shows an elderly woman violently, sadistically and repeatedly kicking the living shit out of the testicles of a water-wasting citizen.
But the ad’s true message, according to the ironically named “columnist, radio commentator and blogger” Glenn Sacks is really saying that “if someone is hurting the environment, it must be a man, and he must be punished.”
After posting lengthy and convincing commentary on his blog, legions of Sacks followers openly decried the sack-kicking advertisement. Continue Reading »
