Why do posts sometimes show up with "anonymous" in red? Does that mean someone with the same IP address as me posted it?

No. It just means that someone is logged in with the name anonymous.

Oh for crying out loud. Did we learn nothing from Floyd Lamb Park about how dumb it is to name things after people who earned fame purely as a politician?

Harry Reid International. As someone said yesterday, "if the fix is in".
Reid may have started out in the Senate to do good works for Nevada. In my opinion and without asserting personal knowledge of supporting fact, Reid sold us out to curry favor and money from the Washington elite. He became wealthy through various partnerships and enterprises to which he lent his political clout. He became Pelossi's lap dog in the last few years. Intentionally stated on the Senate floor where he enjoyed immunity, specific and false information about Trump in 2016. There is a general stink of corruption surrounding him. He is a weak, venal and spiteful person (in my opinion, of course).
No, the airport's name should not be changed.

Name it after one of the pioneers of this town. I recommend Helen J. Stewart. Saw the potential of las vegas more than anyone else. Read up on her when you get a chance.
I agree with this. Las Vegas is the only major American city that I know of that was essentially founded by a woman. And her story is so great, and, in so many ways so Vegas. She was the perfect person to bridge the gap between the pre-railroad wild west to the post-railroad town (in which she influenced and established schools, arts, etc.). It is a real shame that most Las Vegans know almost nothing about her.
If you are going to change the name at all it should be Mccarthy Mccarron International.
The M& M boys were great red fighters, and McCarthy in particular is owed a HUGE apology from the American people.

Just throwing this out there…but what is the cost (in both time and money) to get a change of the name of an airport. Seems to me that the government should focus their attention on more important issues at this time.
Honestly, I don't think the menu costs are going to be that big, regardless of what the name is changed to. The FAA designation will remain LAS. So, change some signs, repaint a few walls, and you're done.
Here's one we haven't heard yet, but not such a bad idea when you think of everything he's done to put this town on the map: Oscar Goodman International Airport.
I have learned in the news recently that Abraham Lincoln didn't support BLM despite offering his life and brain to the cause. So how can Harry Reid ever pass the test when he kept people down on the Democratic Plantation for so long?

How about we name local landmarks in Nevada after local people who have given their blood, sweat and tears to make this valley a better place?
Maybe teachers who devoted their life to this valley?
Maybe physicians who spent their lives treating Nevadans without credit?
Maybe local police officers or firemen?
These formal naming of items should go to people who have devoted their lives to the common good. This is the opinion of just one man.
The knock on McCarren is that he used a racial slur. If we are being honest, everyone from that era, regardless of the speaker's own race, used racial slurs in everyday conversation. Black, white or brown – everyone had a word that was commonly spoken. McCarren did good things for Nevada and in perspective, that is what should be remembered.
The reason McCarren is being erased and Biden is not (Biden not only used foul bigoted language in the past but actively supported southern legislators who genuinely disliked blacks), is because McCarren was anti-communist and Biden is pro. That's it.
Topic changer here – is any private practice billing by-the-hour attorney willing to state what they bill by the hour? I've worked for a few firms and it always seems that the sweet spot for getting paid is right around $300hr, yet I see a lot of attorneys charging $450 to $600hr for the same type of work I am doing. Are you getting paid? What's a good rate?
2:31 – that made me laugh – not at you, but with you. I so do the same thing – all the time. I find this quality in you, excellent. In myself, makes me feel like a dope. Maybe I'll start judging myself the way I just judged you – I'm a dope with a heart.
I bill $350/hr and collection rate around 70%-75%. I've started being somewhat terse with some potential clients because I'm tired of taking cases I shouldn't only to be stiffed later. With that change, I'm noticing collections rate going up a bit, but overall income going down. However, I'm working less so there's that.

Anyone else worried the libcucks in the state legislature or even the federal gov may try some new gun control in 2021?
“As they attempted to have more verbal contact with him, he pulled out a screwdriver and violently attacked one of our officers,” Prosser said. “At that time, three citizens as well as her partner officer fired multiple rounds, striking the subject.”
I get supporting our cops when they have to use lethal force to save themselves or others. We should support them and it's BS that they have to suffer through the inevitable excessive force lawsuits on the backend. I don't get the outright cheering when it happens like you're happy to see that they killed someone. It's creepy.

Tick Segerbloom, you vote for this you are out. Harry Reid is an asshole.
Harry Reid made racial slurs, and he is a crook. No, I don't think so.
Las Vegas International Airport is the best solution by far.
Agree!

The Robert T. Eglet International Airport of Advocacy and Justice for All
YES! He's done more for Nevada than some machine politician.
Harry Reid was in Eglet's pocket.
Harry Reid is looking for a new pocket, bc Eglet is out of dinero.
Might I suggest "The Dipak Desai TSA Inspection Area," or "The Rob Graham Lost and Found." Perhaps "The Mike Galardi Taxi/Stripper Delivery Stand."
Name it after Dario Herrera, a Harry Reid, a convict and Reid convert.
Dipak Desai TSA Inspection Area made me lol. Other than that, blog is unreadable.
God forbid we just leave the name alone and stop canceling everything…
Amen. Unlike Reid, McCarren actually did something for Nevada. Boohoo, he was anti-commie.
The knock on McCarren is that he used a racial slur. If we are being honest, everyone from that era, regardless of the speaker's own race, used racial slurs in everyday conversation. Black, white or brown – everyone had a word that was commonly spoken. McCarren did good things for Nevada and in perspective, that is what should be remembered.

1:01, 2:13, and 2:46 are the same person.
Not.
2:46 — Coo coo, coo coo.

Are you getting paid? What's a good rate?
Depends. No simple answer. I routinely rout attorney who bill twice what I bill, but I also live in a small house and drive a humdrum car, so there.
I am billing $700/hr and don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with collections.
$350 an hour. Collection rate is 70%. Collection rate is low because I feel bad for people and take cases I shouldn't.
2:31 – that made me laugh – not at you, but with you. I so do the same thing – all the time. I find this quality in you, excellent. In myself, makes me feel like a dope. Maybe I'll start judging myself the way I just judged you – I'm a dope with a heart.

When you use the word "libcucks" are you self aware enough to know that you won't be taken seriously?
Pretty sure I cannot be the only based patriot in the lv legal community…
Blog is unreadable.
You're not alone. There are a lot of patriots here.

We have better things to spend money on than renaming a damn airport.
I love happy endings.
“As they attempted to have more verbal contact with him, he pulled out a screwdriver and violently attacked one of our officers,” Prosser said. “At that time, three citizens as well as her partner officer fired multiple rounds, striking the subject.”
I would like to know the shot placement by the three hero citizens and the one cop. Job well done.

We should support them and it's BS that they have to suffer through the inevitable excessive force lawsuits on the backend.

I predict a return of Dirty Harry and Death Wish movies.
