			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gubewannabe and lame duck Nor&#39;Town Mayor <strong>Mike Montandon</strong> will<br />
be hosting a clay shooting event to raise funds for area Boy Scouts,<br />
tastefully announced over on the site Ammoland.com, which has all sorts<br />
of neat pictures of bullets on it. (<a href="http://www.ammoland.com/2009/01/09/las-vegas-sporting-clays-classic-benefit-scouting/">Ammo</a>)</p>
<p>Now,<br />
I&#39;m not saying that&#39;s necessarily a bad thing&#8211;given that pretty soon<br />
you won&#39;t be able to walk around Nor&#39;Town without a sidearm strapped to<br />
your thigh. Maybe the boys should know how to plug a drug dealer&#8211;or a<br />
wacky gun nut toked up on testosterone and beer.</p>
<p>Overnight, <strong>William Robinson</strong><br />
for Mayor signs appeared around my neighborhood in Robinson&#39;s ward 2.<br />
Not a surprise. The mayor&#39;s campaign will be about getting out each<br />
candidate&#39;s &quot;base&quot; in their wards since most apathetic Nor&#39;Towners will<br />
be napping that day.&#0160;</p>
<p><strong>Robert Eliason</strong> will be interesting<br />
to watch during the campaign season. He&#39;s got a <a href="http://www.rolandojcruz.com/">little match up of his<br />
own</a> in Ward 1, but will probably have tons of funds and thus tough to beat. (Tune in<br />
next week to look at <a href="http://www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/Departments/CityClerk/ElectionReports2009.shtm">Eliason&#39;s reports</a> to see.) The question is, which<br />
one of his colleagues on the Council will he support? Given he&#39;ll be<br />
working to get his base out to the polls, some lucky colleague would be<br />
thankful for a good chunk of those votes.</p>
<p>Ah, <a href="http://www.lvrj.com/news/37380964.html">unflattering pics of Nor&#39;Townie Democrats</a><br />
in extremist, government-hating Republican rag today. Not a big<br />
surprise there. The web pics aren&#39;t too bad, but the ones in the hard<br />
copy version would make you choke on your Cheerios. <strong>Steven Horsford</strong>, <strong>Stephanie Smith</strong>, and <strong>Tom Collins</strong> were out with <a href="http://www.americansunitedforchange.org/">Americans United for Change</a> trying to change the minds of earmark-loving, government-hating, government employees (no, I don&#39;t get that, either) <a href="http://www.legistorm.com/earmarks/details/member/39/Sen_John_Ensign/page/1/sort/amount/type/desc.html">John Ensign</a> and <a href="http://www.legistorm.com/earmarks/details/member/842/Rep_Dean_Heller/page/1/sort/amount/type/desc.html">Dean Heller</a> to abandon the gold standard and support the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/opinion/09krugman.html?_r=1">Obama stimulus</a>. Well, good luck with that, guys.</p>

Lot&#8217;s of dust being kicked up by homeowners out near the shooting range which the county plans on building near Floyd Lamb State Park. (<a href="http://www.lvrj.com/news/15581242.html">RJ</a>)</p>
<p>Now, perhaps the builder of the new homes was a bit reticent about the range, but the newcomers should realize that their Senators, Harry Reid and John Ensign, have been crowing about the range for over five years. (<a href="http://ensign.senate.gov/counties/record.cfm?id=192353&amp;">Ensign</a>,<a href="http://reid.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=265062">Reid</a>,<a href="http://www.nodc.us/REID01.htm">NODC</a>)</p>
<p>Why, you new folks might as well get a gander at the Majority Leader of the Senate breaking ground on the project. And, if I&#8217;m not mistaken, there&#8217;s your very own County Commissioner Tom Collins lending a hand.</p>
<p>You might want to remember those names later on.</p>
<p>Oh, and if anybody has news about a meeting about the range, <a href="mailto:nevada_scandalmonger@yahoo.com">let me know</a>.</p>
<p>Ooo. More pics <a href="http://www.co.clark.nv.us/parks/Shooting_Park.htm">here</a>, and it&#8217;s family shootin&#8217; fun at it&#8217;s best!</p>
<p>Wow, 47% of Clark County households owns a gun. That means your neighbor is <a href="http://www.lvrj.com/living/15538762.html">armed and dangerous</a>!</p>
<p>Look out! Harry&#8217;s got a gun!<img border="0" alt="Ground_breaking_presentation4" title="Ground_breaking_presentation4" src="http://votegibbonsout.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/13/ground_breaking_presentation4.jpg" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;" /></p>
