Today marks the end of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year celebration, and Ramadan. Millions of people around the world are celebrating a time of renewal, where the past is forgiven and new starts are made.  The timing could not be better.  Here’s your Roundup:  Koran Burning Called Off, Maybe… Kind of?: Reverend Terry Jones […]

We are overdue for a pipeline update, and there’s plenty to share.  So buckle up because Transcanada’s been up to all kinds of chicanery since they threatened landowners with eminent domain.  We’ll start with the successes.  After much heavy sighing in front of our Macs, we’ve finally edited and posted the video from the educational […]

This week’s wimp would be in serious trouble if he were held to the same standards as college students.  Simply put, because plagiarism is a big no-no.  The extreme right-wing, outside-Nebraska funded, Americans for Prosperity state director Brad Stevens is taking credit for grassroots work he didn’t do and trying to spin a loss that […]

We hope Mark Fahleson (Chairman of the NE GOP) is reading today’s Rasmussen report on the Nebraska gubernatorial election.  For the man who once claimed that even Heineman’s most ardent critics are content with the job he’s doing, these numbers should be a warning. We’re not naive enough to say Heineman doesn’t have supporters.  Right […]

As Nebraskans were listening to the Huskers beat Western Kentucky, the game was interrupted with sponsored ads from TransCanada, the multi-national oil company that wants to build a second pipeline right through the Sandhills and the Ogallala aquifer. Bold Nebraska urges our readers to email David Witty, the Manager of Husker marketing, and ask him […]

Labor Day doesn’t just signal the end of summer and the start of football season.  It’s also a national holiday that celebrates the achievements of American workers.  Organized labor’s been demonized a lot lately, and we want to shed some positive light on the same groups that have fought for fair wages and a reasonable […]

Hurricane Earl has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm, but he’ll still keep people indoors.  In the meantime, we’ll be enjoying the cool front as Nebraska takes on Western Kentucky.  Here’s your Roundup: Governor Loses, Pretends He Wins: Heineman tried to bully education groups pushing them to publicly oppose health reform and call for […]

Dollars and cents are on the minds of every Nebraskan as the state legislature enters a year that is sure to be full of tough budget cuts.  Governor Heineman inflamed these concerns by furthering a distinctly political agenda when he ordered a partisan study on the impact of Medicaid expansion in Nebraska.   For all […]

Just when you thought Halloween couldn’t get any sexier or fun… in comes Trick or Vote.  This sassy group organizes a national “Get Out the Vote” campaign every Halloween.  And this year, we’re bringing their sweet style of GOTV to Nebraska! So why tell people to vote on Halloween?  Trick or Vote’s philosophy is that […]

This week’s wimp is usually part of a gang, but today he stands alone.  And not in the I-Am-Legend kind of way.  No, this regular member of Nebraska’s Three Amigos is dodging open and honest debate with his challenger. Adrian Smith has repeatedly dodged or outright bailed on debates with challenger Rebekah Davis.  Smith’s excuse? […]
