Bunker Mentality

Let's see if I've got this straight. Our fearless leader wants to shut down Nevada with a budget veto and keep the Legislature going ad infinitum because Legislators seem to think that having a third homeland insecurity "fusion" center in Carson along with the one in Reno and Vegas just so the Governor can play soldier is just a tad extravagant.

By the way,  the background for the fanciful pic--no way the Gube is that trim--comes from the Nevada State Emergency Operations Center which looks like the kind of place where the computer asks: do you want to play a game? Yet, they're using Windows. Now, that's insecurity!

Still, the Center is a tad plain. No doubt the Gov will want more gold, silver, and diamonds in his fusion center.

More arm-wresting today over the protective order that made the Trepp v. Montgomery v. Trepp cases possible. (RGJ) Dennis Montgomery, the estranged partner from eTreppid who actually wrote code, wants Judge Pro to shut down the case(s) over national security issues. Remember (who can?) that the National Security boys wanted to shut down the lawsuits over concerns that classified material would be leaked. Note that if the cases get shut down, then Warren Trepp loses his claims to Montgomery's software --that's why Montgomery wouldn't mind killing 'em. Back in September, 2006, then assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler, with a little help from then Nevada U. S. Attorney Daniel Bogden, creatively crafted a "protective order" that set guidelines for who could see what information and kept the lawsuits alive.

So, let's hope Montgomery's lawyer loses the motion, cuz we want Pro to open up the documents and let us all have a gander at what then Congressgoof Jim Gibbons was doing in exchange for those poker chips and the cruise.

So, Gibbons had a good reason for wishing Bogden out of the U.S. Attorney's office. That protective order has made possible all those delightful leaks about cruises, and poker chips and Cunningham-like escapades we've come to enjoy so much. Still, one would have to imagine that Gibbons has much more influence than he surely did in the White House to infer that he could of gotten Bogden on the list of fires. Even the grotesque mis-use of the Patriot Act by Bogden seems a more plausible explanation--assuming any rational explanation can explain the gyrations of the the blathering idiots over in the DoJ.

And, say, ain't Nor'Towner Ruben Kihuen a real suck-up?

Although I see how the patriot act could be misused. The only people that need to fear it are those hiding something like Jimbo and company. The average person would be quite boring to listen to. I would say that the politicians screeming the loudest about it are the ones with the most to hide. Their goal is to get the average Joe Blow on the bandwagon and be their pawn to help them protect themselves. Make no mistake they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Since when did Nevada's governator and lt. governator become exempt from punishment for breaking law after law?

[can't say]

I am wondering when some news reporter is going to do a story about WHERE Gibbons' Homeland Security Czar's office really is. I thought it was in that funky looking SEOC you pointed out in this article.
