Etc.

Greg Mitchell, formerly of Editor and Publisher and who kept track of presidential newspaper endorsements, is over at The Nation doing the same thing this year.

I suspect starting tomorrow there will be more of a trickle of endorsements, with a flood the last two weeks leading up to election day.

I will note the endorsements on this blog as they become available.

I haven't lived in Nevada for two years now, but I still am interested in politics down there though not posting much on this blog about it anymore. Apparently, Senator Dean Heller did absolutely shitty in his debate the other night with challenger Rep. Shelley Berkley. He may be lucky, however, the debate followed the epic VP debate, so relatively few people saw the Nevada debacle:

I did appreciate Heller's attempt at recovery — suggesting Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval should be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. That was a nice payback for the guy who appointed Heller to the U.S. Senate.

Do we now know Sandoval's true future aspirations? Did Dean let the cat out of the bag? Maybe he was planting a notion on behalf of a political ally and a former federal judge.

God forbid that dingbat would get on the U.S. Supreme Court. Civilization WILL have hit rock-bottom if Sandoval did make it there.

Obituary: Actor and television host Gary Collins has died of natural causes. He was 74 years old, which is relatively young these days.

Collins enjoyed a long, happy marriage to actress and former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley. At least it was a long and happy one for many years: according to Wikipedia, the two separated last year.
