‘Geezers need excitement’

No one could ever accuse CityLife of ageism (we love old farts as much as anyone). Still, we suggest that maybe it’s not such a hot idea to elect as president a guy as timeworn as U.S. Sen. John McCain, who celebrates his 567th birthday on Aug. 29.

Ensign lashes out at Reid!

Well, folks, it’s finally over. The unholy, ridiculous and totally bizarre “non-aggression pact” between Nevada U.S. Sens. Harry Reid and John Ensign is crashing down.
It happened in the very last paragraph of a story today in the Review-Journal, in which Reid finally decided to take on well-known Senate obstructionist Tom Coburn, R-Okla., (pictured in the […]
