Tracking one newspaper error
In August a Las Vegas newspaper published a report on the effort by the Clark County district attorney to remove county recorder Frances Deane from office. The report contained this sentence: "The statute ... used, NRS [Nevada revised statute] 283.440, appears to have been employed only a handful of times, including to remove a county assessor in Carson City in 1962, Clark County's district attorney in 1950 and the Clark County treasurer in 1940.
A Penny for my thoughts
I wish the pope had talked to me before he gave his "evil and inhuman" speech that got Muslims so testy at him. I could have told him, "Don't quote some old emperor's thoughts about Muslims unless you're willing to have people confuse his views with yours." You don't tell a Mormon, "My neighbor used to be Mormon and he says it's the weirdest religion since the Incas." He'll give you the hairy eyeball and go off to the temple and start converting your deceased ancestors.
