Schlepping Day. I, your beloved author of your beloved Daily Current, will be traveling today and for the rest of the week so the Daily Current may not present the full measure of comprehensive analysis and indispensable insight to which you have become accustomed. Deal.
A star is born. In these, our troubled times, happy, heartwarming stories are always welcome. A case in point: The stunning victory of 28-year-old unapologetically progressive congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over the wimbly-wombly Democratic establishment in Queens. Nevada progressives no doubt are wondering why something like that couldn’t have happened here earlier this month, but they should remember that it has now been scientifically proven(!) that time can move more slowly in Nevada.
Speaking of fresh faces… Mitt Romney won his Senate primary in Utah.
Sure, weed is legal now. Sunday will mark the one-year anniversary of legal recreational marijuana in Nevada, and the Current’s coverage starts today with a story about how pot laws used to mess with people’s lives – and still can.
Good luck
