Eddie Izzard already squelched any "too smart for Vegas" garbage in late April.
It was then that a second show was added for today at the Palms, after Izzard’s first announced date on Saturday sold out. The British comedian fits many definitions of a cult hero. But thanks to HBO, it’s a big cult.

It used to be that two lines on the pregnancy test strip meant nine months of frump.

Considering the performance of the two elected obstetricians most recently in the national eye, it’s intriguing to speculate how much better off the country might be if we could send the 533 big spenders currently holding down seats in Congress on an extended world cruise, replacing them for a term or two with randomly selected members of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, requiring only that they read aloud Article I Section 8 of the Constitution (the powers of Congress) before taking their seats.
The Las Vegas housing market is flying close to the bottom but giving mixed signals as to where the actual ground may be, housing analyst Larry Murphy said Thursday.
