  Good morning, everyone. Like you, I’m sure, I am in a buoyant mood because of the bipartisan comity suffusing Washington, DC. Both sides working together so they don’t act like elected Pied Pipers and lead us all off that terribly scary fiscal cliff (even Dr. Richard Kimble couldn’t survive that fall, right?). ICYMI, the two Senate leaders showed us how much things have changed in a Senate floor exchange on Monday. Makes me want to cry tears of happiness. The Sun’s Karoun Demirjian covered ...

A lot to be thankful for this week, dear Flashees, beyond the blessed fact that the election is over. It’s been quite the eventful year...
  Good morning, everyone. Yes, we are two and a half months away from the beginning of the Legislature – and two months exactly from Gov. Brian Sandoval’s State of the State speech. But even though few see some grand issues confronting the Gang of 63 or Gov. Sunny – I hope to be proved wrong on the tax structure – I sense a lot of people are looking forward to Session ’13 because of the new leaders and the internal dynamics in the caucuses. It’s been a long time since I have looked forward to a...

  Good morning, everyone. Quick trip to Reno and back in vegas this morning for an appearance on “The Daily Rundown.” (And I’m still getting Morning Flash out on time!) My first time watching a Reno City Council meeting, and it was eye-opening. I can’t imagine a better job for a young reporter – I envy you, Brian Duggan – than covering that group. When the first major vote of the new council goes 6-1, with Mayor Bob Cashell on the losing end, you are in for some raucous times. I had an...

You can almost feel it, dear Flashees – the gradual news slowdown, the slipping into the holiday season (Thanksgiving is NEXT week?). This is the time of year when, if you are an...
        TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: The future of Obamacare DAYS SINCE HARRY REID HAS BEEN ON RALSTON REPORTS: 662 DAYS UNTIL THE NEVADA LEGISLATURE CONVENES: 84 DAYS UNTIL THE TEEN CAN AFFECT THE POLITICAL WORLD: 256       Good morning, everyone. Happy Veterans Day, dear Flashees, a well-deserved tribute to those who fought and fight for a way of life many of us take for granted. So--How do you know the election is over? Two things: People and a “...
