Big Game

  • Law

  • The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine is alive and well in Nevada. [RJ]
  • The Department of Family Services is getting heavy scrutiny over whether it took any steps to prevent a baby’s death. [8NewsNow]
  • Attorney General Adam Laxalt explains why Nevada joined in the immigration lawsuit. [RJ]
  • Everyone is buzzing about the Super Bowl or “Big Game” on Sunday. We hope you enjoy the game, wings, guacamole, adult beverages, and whatever else will be at your party. Just remember to be smart about driving. The AAA is offering Tipsy Tow on Sunday evening in case you need it. [Fox5Vegas]

Re: Laxalt's "Op-Ed", if you want to call it that…

Laxalt apparently likes lots of: colons: between words: in sentences: that he is typing.

Unfortunately he seems not to like commas however.

If an associate brought this to me, I'd red-line the crap out of it.

Badly developed thoughts and bad punctuation.

LRR Partners! Why didn't the Nevada electorate listen to you??

He hasn't misused any punctuation, and his thoughts are well developed and clear. You, however, have wrongly omitted a comma after "[u]nfortunately," wrongly omitted a comma before "however," wrongly used both "[u]nfortunately" and "however" to modify the same clause, and used two incomplete sentences. Assuming you are a partner, as you have implied, maybe your associates should be red-lining what you write.

10:18,

You missed the point. The prose illustrates the concept discussed.

You've got bigger things to concern yourself with than flaming the blog posts of others…

If you're going to shill for Laxalt, I'd hold my fire — you'll need it for what Sandoval is going to do to your boy.

Sandoval can't do a G-damned thing to Laxalt. He's not his boss, and anyway he has higher ambitions so will avoid any controversy. Also, why criticize 10:18 for "flaming" and not 9:22?

Because 9:22 a.m. is correct and hilarious in posting about Laxalt's moronic grammar errors.

10:18 a.m.-

Do you often not get: jokes?

Someone's cranky this Friday. At least we know it's not Laxalt, because he would be unable to point out these grammatical deficiencies.

I like Generalissimo Laxalt quite a bit more than those who so quickly jump/stomp to his defense on this blog and I don't know him at all. The Jury will be out on his performance for 6-12 months so maybe both sides can chill a little bit. People are so angry on a rainy Superbowl Friday.

Laxalt writes nothing. He employs ghost writers. It is quite possible he proof reads before publication; however, I sincerely doubt he does. As his employee files at LRR show, he is not "details oriented." (Trolls: How's my grammar, bitches?)

It is my pleasure to school my colleagues on this blog.

Yup! Apparently, irony is too much for some people on a rainy Friday.

The Nevada Supreme Court issued an Order in Docket No. 66070 suspending a number of Nevada attorneys for failing to satisfy their CLE requirements, including unsuccessful DA Candidate (and now convicted felon) Jim Duensing. In addition, according to the Order, the CLE Board informed the Court in their July 2014 Petition that their records showed District Court applicant Craig B. Friedberg had failed to satisfy his CLE requirements. However, this issue was apparently rectified after the CLE Board filed their Petition. .

Super Bowl Plans for the Shark Pimp: Red Rose Tea, Crumpets from Trader Joe's, and a Will and Grace marathon I saved up.

Shark Pimp – not to be gender insensitive, but that's pretty femme – although, Debra Messing was pretty hot back in the late 1990's

February 1, 2015 at 12:28 PM – While it's true that The Shark pimp has a snotty, elitist, and condescending distaste for sports that borders on the pathological, The Shark Pimp is also a 6'2" 270 pound former Marine who carries a .45 caliber automatic pistol loaded with a particularly destructive variety of ammunition known as Talons, which, on impact, separate into eight spinning shards that shred a persons internal organs like a food processor. Sooooo, I don't need to watch a bunch of guys with fake college degrees in tight spandex knickers to validate my masculinity. That said, I am a proud Unitarian, so if you wish to obsess over tightly wrapped mens buttocks, more power to you – Be Proud! Although I suspect your comment was in reality vaguely homophobic, so shame on you.

THE CRUMPETS WUZ GUD.

Good for you Marine Shark Pimp, but Will and Grace is a distasteful show aimed at mainstreaming deviant lifestyles that eat away at the very foundation of the Republic you swore to protect. Just sayin'.

Debra Messing is STILL very attractive at the ripe young age of 46 and a terrific actress. I enjoy seeing her in "The Mysteries of Laura" on Wednesday evenings. .

The Shark Pimp only has eyes for the First Lady of Laughlin, aka my Hunny Bunny.

But yeah, me and Hunny Bunny watch it every week. Although I recoil at seeing Debra Messing in anything that's not couture.

Dear Shark Pimp, if you prefer your Debra Messing in couture, you must have been horrified watching her in Smash. Some evil scarf monster had her wrapped up in the most hideous outfits every week. Or maybe she lost a bet. Hope you enjoyed Puppy Bowl and your marathon.

Damn, just how much is Richard Harris' advertising budget? Spam in my email, Magazine spam in my mailbox, wraps on the public buses, and now some BS ad in my Superbowl? What the hell, man?

Make. It. Stop. I was watching with a crew and everyone looked at me (the only lawyer) in silence, their unspoken "What the hell?" quite painful. Let's just say it won't make anyone's list of favorite SB ad.

After that incredible, amazing catch, I thought the only possible thing that could possibly cause everyone to not remember it in years to come would be for the Seahawks to somehow not win. I'm not a Pats fan at all, but Seahawks deserved (or least Coach Carroll) did after that moronic play call.
