Despite an attempt by Jeff Guinn and his lawyers to tarnish journalist Dana Gentry's reputation with a "when did you stop beating your wife?" type of inquiry, the state Supreme Court has quashed the attempt and in so doing likely strengthened Nevada's shield law.
The decision is attached.
So what will high-profile Nevadans be giving thanks for on Thursday? I happen to know:
►Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: For John Boehner’s Tea Party anarchists. For Sharron Angle (never stop thanking God for her). For being able to interview political editor candidates at the Las Vegas Sun.

►Rep. Steven Horsford: For modern medicine. For North Las Vegas’...

The full report, attached here, found no one had a 100 percent rating. The conservatives named were:
State Sens. Don Gustavson and James Settelmeyer and Assemblymen...

I've learned that the meeting, which took place at a Humana office in Henderson, was attended by two dozen or so people, including progressives, gamers, business types and labor leaders. Heck retierated to the group that he would not sign on to the Democratic bill, House Resolution 15 and that it would not pass because Speaker John Beohner...

UPDATE, 11/23/13:
Assembly Majority Leader William Horne responded Saturday morning. He said he has "tremendous respect for Jim Rogers but I disagree on this particular issue." Horne said Provost John White is "ready to be president." Horne added that he dealt with White during the Legislature, including discussions of the system funding formula. "He's been involved with it," Horne said.
"I do believe we have somebody right here in our own backyard (for president)," Horne said. "And for the...
