Who's the biggest land owner in Nevada? What color is your collar? Stop joking - Mississippi? Reid on!
Nevada First: Not Gonna Happen for $1000. On June 3, 2008, the Department of Energy applied for a license to build a nuclear waste dump here. What is Yucca Mountain? Yes. We also would have accepted an earthquake prone area above a water source 90 miles away from the biggest tourist attraction this side of Graceland. Senator Reid, delivering for Nevadans only he can, vowed to kill the proposed dump. The application is only 35% complete (which if this were high school, would warrant an F). Surely the application addresses one crucial question: What would the DOE do in case of an emergency (any emergency). Oh, wait. They left that one blank.
Landlords for $400. By far, the biggest landowner in the state of Nevada, the Federal Government owns this much land. What is 87%, Alex. Correct! And we're not just talking Area 51 and the Nuclear Test Site, either. Thanks to the leadership of Harry Reid, Nevada also boasts some of the most beautiful (and protected) deserts and mountains in nation.
Must Reid: Color Coded Jobs for $600. This "healthy" type of job accounted for more than 450,000 direct and indirect jobs in 2006. What are Green Collar jobs, Alex? You betcha! As the Weekly Reid mentioned last week, the Senate this week tackles the Global Warming Bill. Senator Reid and others have acknowledged that passage will be very difficult (especially with President Bush sharpening his veto pencil). Here are the facts: The Bush/McCain economic policies (is it even fair to call them policies?) have squandered countless opportunities to promote economic growth by creating green collar jobs. Case in point: the economy lost 107,000 construction jobs in April alone. The Climate Security Act would create millions of good-paying jobs and spur growth in construction, manufacturing and industries we haven't even imagined yet. Thomas Jefferson (ever idealistic, always forward thinking) counted on American ingenuity to carry our young nation to greatness - this bill continues in that long tradition. The new, 21st century economic engine runs on Green!
Fire and Water for $400. In the last 30 years, the length of this season has grown by 78 days. What is the Democratic Primary Season? No, sorry. The correct answer is "Wildfire Season." Nevada and the desert southwest are hotter than ever, and what little rain does fall evaporates more quickly because of increased temperatures. The droughts are more intense. The wildfires are larger and more intense (on average, the fires that cover 2,500 or more acres last five times longer). Scientists say we need to reduce our carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050. What's the White House's response? Shut the scientists up.
Reid's Watching: Challengers for $800. This Senate challenger is the Weekly Reid's newest favorite candidate to knock out a committed Bush/McCain Republican. Who is Ronnie Musgrove? Yes! And now, two polls show that Mississippi is definitely on the table: one from Rasmussen (Musgrove +1) and one from the DSCC (Musgrove +8). Show the former Governor you love him too.
Rhyming Nicknames for $200. This former governor and senator got his nickname by walking the length and breadth of Florida during one of his campaigns. Who is Walkin' Lawton Chiles. Yes! And his niece, Kay Hagan, learned a lot from her uncle - she's building one heck of a ground game after her primary victory last month. Kay's hosting "Family Reunions" and house parties across the state now, and the phone banks are up and running already. All politics is local, and Kay's got one huge advantage over Liddy Dole - her husband can vote for her!
