Good morning, everyone. Getting the Morning Flash done as quickly as possible this AM, dear Flashees, so I can catch my plane for The Great White North to cover the State of the State speech and, more importantly, see Gov. Brian Sandoval’s budget unveiled this afternoon. That’s what today is really all about – the governor setting the fiscal parameters for the session, knowing that only in rare instances (Where have you gone, Jim Gibbons, a state turns its lonely eyes to you) does the Gang...

Good morning, everyone. It’s irresistible, dear Flashees: Gov. Brian Sandoval visited the Consumer Electronics Show on Thursday and posed for the definitive Gov. Sunny picture. This one’s a keeper. The future’s so bright, he has to wear shades.

Good morning, everyone. End of Las Vegas journalism alert – again: On the same the Las Vegas Sun, three days removed from a Pulitzer, ran a POLITICO and a sports story at the top of its site, the local “newspaper” was forced to report two stories about itsrelationship with AP that were broken on Twitter a day ago (one by David McGrath Schwartz via Romenesko and one by your favorite Flasher). The Review-Journal portrays this as a way to protect its content – prohibiting other outlets from...
Good morning, everyone. Confession time: Yes, I was glancing at the BCS game during “Ralston Reports” last night. I guess I was petrified of some miracle Irish comeback. Truth is, I used to like Notre Dame ion the Joe Theisman days. But once I became an unabashed Michigan fan, I became – another confession – a real hater, mostly because the Irish ruined many a Big Blue season. What does this have to do with politics? Not a thing. But it just shows that, unlike in politics and life, I can...
