Ahhhh, a good way to end the week

After a good, satisfying week of work providing Las Vegans with the news they need and want, there's nothing like kicking back and watching lesser competitors twist their panties in a bunch in a vain attempt to stay relevant.

Like this evening, for example. A bottle of good red wine breathes as Mark Knopfler and Emmmylou Harris' album "All the Road Running" plays one level too loudly -- which is just the right level on a Friday before the long weekend.

Come here, little bottle of 2006 Napa Franciscan cabernet ... it's time for you to be all you can be.

Ahhhhh. Just right.

Now for the fun stuff -- reading Jon Ralston spit-'n-piss all over himself in a blog about the Review-Journal's latest poll in the GOP primary race for U.S. Senate. It is the most interesting GOP primary in the history of Nevada. And Jon has again proven himself irrelevant. Beautiful.

You probably saw the latest Review-Journal poll. If not you can find it here. It was the right poll at just the right time. It is one of a long line of polls that have faithfully chronicled the Reid race. As Republicans head to early voting, they no doubt wonder which of the Big Three candidates would run the best against Sen. Harry Reid. Our poll scientifically answered that question. At this moment in time, Lowden runs the best against Reid.

She's also in jeopardy of getting swamped by a late Sharron Angle surge, giving Sen. Reid, momentarily at least, a political pulse.

The numbers show what they show. You don't have to believe what I might tell you (I have not written about it, by the way) and you certainly don't have to listen to tanked analysis of boring inside baseball guys like JR who couldn't write a discouraging word about Sen. Harry Reid in the Las Vegas Sun, even if he wanted to.

Giving readers the power. The knowledge. The poll numbers. That's a good thing ... just like this wine, this album and the beginning of this long weekend.

Hope you all are enjoying the start of your weekend every bit as much as I am.
