Las Vegas County is the only one not fully reporting results in the Nevada Caucus. Only 50% of the Vegas results are in. Ron Paul is second in that county and the final tally could push him ahead of Gingrich for a second place finish.
But I guess we won't get the final Nevada results until after Super Tuesday.
Loved downtown Vegas back in the day. Order a beer at the bar in Binion's and I'd get a shot of Crown with it, just because the bartender thought my order had not been well thought out. Only the suckers and the tourists patronized the Strip.
Only 'the suckers and the tourists' come to Vegas at all ... there is no difference between Downtown and the Strip ... the law of large numbers is on the side of casinos everywhere ... but, alas, Vegas is a little beter that Wall Street at least they don't hide the fact that House always wins.
I only wish I could see your art as absurb characterization, but it is reality itself that boggles what is left of my senses... I see a reeducation camp or if that fails a drone in your future William...

In the midst of serious discourse in the Craneum, Diogenes realised no one was listening. So he instead began to whistle and dance about to attract attention. Immediately, people flocked round him. Diogenes stopped and said, "You idiots, you are not interested to stop and pay attention to wisdom, yet you rush up to observe a foolish display."

Hunter S. Thompson's counselor
By D.A. Blyler | RAW STORY CONTRIBUTOR
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet
has no honor in his own country.
- Gospel of John http://www.rawstory.com/exclusives/blyler/hst_counselor_081405.htm
...
.."In Generation of Swine, Thompson’s searing indictment of the 1980s, he acknowledges the Bible’s powerful influence on his work:
“I have stolen more quotes and thoughts and purely elegant little starburst of writing from the Book of Revelation than anything else in the English language…I love the wild power of the language and the purity of the madness that governs it and makes it music.”
But it wasn’t just Revelation’s that impacted Thompson. His writing is littered with borrowings from other Testament Books, both New and Old. A proud southern gentleman from Kentucky, he often depicted the world in biblical terms, famously claiming that Richard Nixon was evil in a way that “only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand.” And in a barbed attack on American culture Thompson described Hell as:
“…a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix—a clean, well-lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except for the ones who know in their hearts what is missing.”
The Scriptures relevance for Thompson flooded back as I stared at The Proud Highway and Bible in the bottom of the box. It reminded me of the mystery surrounding Thompson’s brief suicide note. Before shooting himself with a revolver, he had typed the single word “Counselor” in the center of a blank page. To date, fellow journalists and friends of Thompson have expressed confusion as to what the word might signify, comparing it to the mysterious “Rosebud” of Citizen Kane. And that’s when it hit me. I picked up the Bible and quickly scanned the Gospel of John. There it was in the 14th chapter:
“16 And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor*, to be with you for ever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.”
.....
"Why is it, Diogenes, that pupils leave you to go to other teachers, but rarely do they leave them to come to you?"
"Because," replied Diogenes, "one can make eunuchs out of men, but no one can make a man out of eunuchs".
Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, "My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings, you wouldn't have to wash vegetables."
"And," replied Diogenes, "If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn't have to pay court to kings."
"One of the most alluring temptations that face men is the desire to enter the inner ring. C. S. Lewis wrote a wonderful essay with this title. It should be part of every person's rite of passage into adulthood.
The desire to enter the inner ring is closely related to the desire to maintain a New World Order. There is always an institutional claimant to New World Order status. It is always structured in terms of a series of concentric rings. These rings are always vertical. They are part of a pyramid of power. They are best represented by a stepped pyramid. (See Genesis 11.)
Every empire has been founded in the name of – on behalf of – some version of a New World Order. Empires all have this in common: they are eventually replaced. There is nothing more defunct than a New World Order that has failed. Think "Ottoman Empire." Think "Thousand-Year Reich." Think "British Empire." Think "Soviet Union." "

There is a difference: Willard holds a "Life Membership" in the Nat'l Rifle Assoc. That's...as of August 2011. Before that, career gun-grabber.
