Annoying as the politicians are, they are like a choir of angels compared to the litigators. Besides, some of the political stuff is fun to critique- we have a Rep house seat contender who is plastering the airwaives with how she is going to repeal the estate tax to protect ranchers. In a state 95% owned by the BLM and other government agencies,where 95% of the population lives in Vegas,Reno and Carson, she passes on law and order, taxes, immigration and terror and runs on that?
