December is one hectic month.  Yesterday was the last day of Hannukah, Christmas is 15 days away and Kwanzaa starts Dec. 26.  We know most college students in Nebraska are pulling their hair out preparing to take finals next week.  Take a break from the holiday and school stressors to watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” […]

It’s Friday!  And you know what that means: we’re headed to the Nebraska Farmers’ Union Convention in Grand Island.  The anticipation of seeing Paul Blackburn of Plains Justice confront Jeff Rauh of TransCanada is making us feel all tingly.  Don’t forget to to flip your radio to C-SPAN on the drive to GI so you […]

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are practicing safety this Black Friday (Malinda’s chosen to hunker down rather than brave the savage consumer waters). Speaking of savage consumers, Sarah Palin will be in Norfolk to sign copies of her new book America, By Heart tomorrow.  Here’s your Roundup: Ad of the Season: GM’s […]

Malinda is turning cartwheels and ingesting lots of coffee after seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 at midnight last night.  We won’t spoil anything, but she predicts most Potter fans won’t be disappointed.  In more sobering news, it’s the last day of the mayoral recall drive in Omaha.  Petitioners must turn in […]

The Huskers take on the Jayhawks this weekend at Memorial Stadium, so we’ll be taking a break from politics to enjoy a less cutthroat past time.  We’ve worked up some Turner Gill talking points for those in the office who are a little less football-savvy and rustled up some Big Red blankets because we heard […]

Remember, remember the 5th of November and a happy Guy Fawkes Day to you all.  If you’re a history nerd or just really like “V for Vendetta”, you’ll recall that on this day in 1605, Guy Fawkes’ attempt to blow up Parliament with gunpowder failed.  The Brits celebrate Fawkes’ memory by burning his effigy, go […]

Only four days left before the polls open, and (you know we have to mention it) we are kicking it into high gear for Trick or Vote on Sunday.  There’s also going to be a Rally to Restore Sanity satellite party in Omaha on Saturday, in case you’re like us and can’t make it to […]

Today’s the last day for voter registration!  Remember that you have to deliver it to your Election Commissioner because mail-in registration is closed.  For all the info you need about Election Day, visit VoteBold.org.  If you’ve gotten your Early Voting ballot, don’t forget to fill it out and send it back so that your vote […]

The deadline for mailing in your voter registration is today!  You can still walk your ballot in to the election commissioner until next Friday.  We’ve got a catchy video to convince you.  Here’s your Roundup: Suttle Keeps Recall Efforts Subtle: If you live in the Omaha metro or listen to KFAB, you’re probably pretty clued […]

Our beloved Huskers soundly beat the KSU Wildcats last night, 48-13 (but many of you probably already knew that).  Taylor Martinez is quickly earning his nickname “T-Magic.” But the game last night means our weekend can be devoted to other things like catching up on sleep.  We’ve lost quite a bit working late on the […]
