WEEK IN REVIEW: Reporter’s Notebook

Have you ever seen one of those window decals showing a knock-off of Calvin, from the beloved comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes," relieving himself on the logo of a rival car company?
Well, tasteless back-window humor has gone local.
A dually pickup seen Friday on U.S. Highway 95 sported an apparently homemade sticker featuring the figure of a man -- not Calvin this time -- emptying his bladder on the words "NV Power."
Take that, state's largest electric utility!
Let's just hope no one decides to literally do what the decal depicts. The company formerly known as Nevada Power operates a whole bunch of high voltage equipment you probably don't want to pee on.

"I have never heard of the federal government moving so fast," he said.
