The 15-Year-Old Girl and the Soccer Coach
(Chuck Muth) – OK, so the story last week was that a 40-year-old soccer coach was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl who was a player on his team. The pair were found parked in the coach’s vehicle in a Las Vegas sports park, though apparently not caught in the act of doing anything. My first question: Why did they arrest the guy?
Malcontent Gadfly Creates Anti-Lowden PAC
(Chuck Muth) – Robert Holloway, a card-carrying Paultard purportedly representing a tiny group of paranoid tinfoil hat wearing fellow malcontents, announced today the formation of a Political Action Committee to oppose the candidacy of Sue Lowden for the United States Senate.

MUTH’S TRUTHS
- The Associated Press reported over the weekend that a justice of the peace in Louisiana refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple. Doug Bandow, Vice President of Policy for Citizen Outreach responded: “This sort of bizarre behavior by a government official reinforces the argument that marriage should be left to non-governmental institutions.” Amen!
- The Associated Press reports that “Administrative hurdles and a looming deadline may cost the Nevada Indian Commission some $280,000 in grants secured to remodel the future home of the Stewart Indian Cultural Center.” Is this one of those “essential” government services that Senate Minority Leader Bill Raggio (R-Reno) believes necessitated a billion dollars worth of tax hikes earlier this year?

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
- “I just don’t get how his politics translate to somebody who has LDS beliefs. (Harry Reid’s) an embarrassment to me as a Mormon.” – Utah blogger Holly Richardson
- “(Sen. Harry Reid) showed $8.7 million in the bank at the end of September, and he has aired TV ads. But as long as his negatives remain high, and as long as his eventual GOP challenger has the resources to compete, Reid will be in for a fight. . . . Anonymous threats to ‘vaporize’ the opposition may make a cute quote in a newspaper story, but they sound less intimidating from the campaign of a candidate with unfavorable ratings in the low 50s.” – Roll Call columnist Stuart Rothenberg
- “Obama campaigned against using Yucca Mountain as a repository for spent nuclear materials and has said his administration will not be sending material there. Then where?” – Tri-City Herald, 10/25/09

It should be Bias News & Views. Why do you consistently refuse to report anything on my campaign, while you report on other campaigns that took six months to get to 1%, while it only took me one month. Why don’t you come out from behind that blog and debate me and your non-republican beliefs.
