Sunday Review: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

Now open at Lake Tahoe

By Jim Rix

After the better part of a year and $60 million (I’m told), the renovation of Lake Tahoe’s old Horizon Casino got completed. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opened to a much anticipated local crowd on Wednesday, January 28.
    It was fortunate for my friend Heather and me that we entered through the back door, because we found out later during our meandering that the front entrance was jammed and backed up. It was basically a madhouse. It was so packed that Security was letting people in the front door only as others exited.

At least it can’t happen in America

By motomynd

Can you even begin to imagine the horror of living in a country where you could be falsely accused of trying to kill the president and other political leaders, surrounded by hooded men carrying machine guns, paraded in front of the public, and imprisoned? No trial, no hearing, no chance at rebuttal: Just snatched at gunpoint, and locked up.

Happy Birthday, Morris

You ain't nothing but a hound dog either, man, but I love you.
    My own last birthday, of course, was January 8, 1977. Now I'm "in eternity" and, I have to tell you, it's a drag.

Who's "The King"?

"I hate these silly polls!" my wife exclaimed. She was trying to do the LA Times Sunday crossword puzzle on the web.
    "What?" I asked.
    "Oh, they've got a picture of Elvis and a picture of Michael Jackson and they ask which is The King. And it flashes."
    "Ugh, yes, they are silly."
    "Maybe if I vote, it'll stop flashing and go away."
    "Might work...Vote for Elvis, of course."
    "Of course!"
