It is a privilege and an honor to represent Nevada's Second Congressional District. Every day I fight for the values we cherish in Nevada such as strong families, a strong economy, and a strong national defense. However, beyond representing you in Congress, my office provides many other services such as tours of D.C. attractions, White House greetings, internships and flags flown over the U.S. Capitol.

Race is difficult to write about because it opens a Pandora's box of emotions and hidden prejudices. But now that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his longtime pastor are under fire for the clergyman's hateful and racist remarks, this is a troubling issue that the American electorate is forced to face in an election year.
One of the most entertaining whoppers told about Nevada is that it's a good thing this state exists out on the leading edge of the libertarian frontier.

At first glance, it seems almost humorous that a Lyon County group is staging fake teen parties to educate parents on what their kids do when they're not around. The idea is that a few dozen teens will be acting as if they are using alcohol, illegal drugs, cough medicines, tobacco and inhalants. Parents will walk through the exhibit as though touring a museum. Afterward, experts will debrief adults on ways to help teens make good decisions.

Now that the presidential field has been narrowed to three, it's become clear that we should not expect major reforms in immigration policy following Election Day.

If you want to know who is winning the war in Iraq, look at how the main players visit the area.
As some of you may have noticed this week, Bear Sterns was the newest casualty of the subprime market bloodbath. You also may have noticed that the Federal Reserve stepped in as the lender of last resort to avoid what some speculated would have been a major bank failure. But what does the Fed actually do and how were they involved in the Bear Sterns situation?
Have you ever noticed an intersection where there's a McDonald's on one corner and a Burger King on another? Or an Exxon station located directly across the street from a Chevron station? Or a Holiday Inn a block up the street from a Hampton Inn? Do you ever wonder why that is? I mean, why don't these businesses just operate like our government schools: only one per neighborhood?
The fifth anniversary of the Iraq war passed with little notice in Carson City. We made our coffee, drove to work, greeted our colleagues, checked our e-mail, ate our lunches, thought a little about our weekend plans, went home and life was good and predictable. It's a strange war in that it's easy to not think about it at all.

It's no secret that 2007 wasn't a particularly good year for investors. A difficult environment for equities, heavy losses on some types of fixed-income securities - particularly those related to sub prime mortgages - and broad-based declines in residential property prices all combined to leave may investors nursing significant portfolio damage.
As my regular readers know, when it comes to the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump, I'm much more interested in the politics of the issue than I am in the science. Nevertheless, I finally have an answer to those who ask what we should do with highly toxic waste if it isn't stored in Nevada: reprocess it at regional reprocessing centers outside our state, like the one in neighboring Idaho.
As political columnist Jon Ralston noted last week, I've been advocating for a Nevada version of Ronald Reagan's "Grace Commission" almost since the day I came out of the womb. The Grace Commission was charged by Reagan in the early 1980s with the task of going through the federal budget to find waste, fraud, abuse and other areas where federal government spending could be cut or streamlined.

Just an idea. If the other stores didn't care too much about how I was feeling then, I don't feel any loyalty to how they might be feeling now.
