    Trio of storm systems could have devastating impact on U.S.By SETH BORENSTEINKnight Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON - Moisture-laden storms from the north, west and south are likely to converge on much of America over the next several days in what could be a once-in-a-generation onslaught, meteorologists forecast Tuesday.If the gloomy computer models at the U.S. Climate Prediction Center are right, we'll see this terrible trio: The "Pineapple Express," a series of warm wet storms heading east from Hawaii, drenching Southern California and the far Southwest, which already are beset with heavy rain and snow. It could cause flooding, avalanches and mudslides....

    A disgruntled Dem friend of mine gave me his two VIP tickets to the Reno, NV Kerry rally with a wink and a nod. They're floor tickets so I plan on getting right up front. I figure this is too good of an opportunity to FReep to pass up. I have a couple questions for my FReeper friends: 1. Should I even attend? I've never been a "heckler" but I have protested (protestwarrior, FReep, etc.) a few times. 2. If I do attend, I fully plan on being kicked out. I need some good one-liners to yell out at the...

    Teen finds $88,904; gives it to police by F.T. Norton When Luke Schober, 18, made the last round of his Sunday night shift of collecting grocery carts, he made an awesome discovery - a bank bag containing dozens of $100 bills. The Douglas High School senior and South Carson Albertsons courtesy clerk put the bag into his pocket, finished his task, then marched quietly past fellow employees and handed the bonanza over to his manager at Albertsons. She called police. The cash totaled $5,000. A later inventory by Carson City Detective Steve Johnson revealed a grand total of $88,904 in...

    Okay, I know you all love vanities. But I think this is important enough to get flamed over. I have seen so many faded, worn-out and torn American Flags / Flag stickers on vehicles. Please take a moment the next time you go out to your car and check the condition of your flag if you happen to display one. If it's old and worn out, remove it and replace it with a new one! Thanks.

    Federal judges in Nevada reject challenge in tax dispute caseBy CHRISTINA ALMEIDA, Associated Press LAS VEGAS — A panel of federal judges in Nevada on Friday rejected a challenge of a Nevada Supreme Court decision that set aside a state constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority vote on a tax plan. In a unanimous decision, the seven justices found that the U.S. Supreme Court has held that ‘‘district courts have no power to declare a ruling of a state supreme court violated provisions of the federal Constitution.’’ The decision followed a historic Nevada Supreme Court ruling last week that temporarily...

  • Bill renames Nevada 'East California' (Legislator a Freeper?!)

    Nevada Appeal / Associated Press ^ | Feb 18, 2003 | BRENDAN RILEY
    An anonymous legislator has asked for a bill to change Nevada's name to East California and change the state song to "The Tax Man" -- teasing Gov. Kenny Guinn about his $1 billion tax proposal. The name change was on a list of bill draft requests from individual lawmakers. While many proposals name the legislator who requested the draft, it's not required, and there was no name on the "East California" request. Guinn didn't seem amused. Greg Bortolin, the Republican governor's press secretary, said, "In these economic hard times, it's tragic that we're wasting money on things like this." "Further,...
