Time Magazine was the first weekly magazine in the United States making it the most influential read in America. Since the pages were bound in 1923, citizens have been obtaining the news from Time. That is power, especially when an simple article can often times shift the entire nation’s opinion on major issues. This week in April, Time did a story surrounding what they referred to as The 100 Least Influential people of 2010. The weekly highlighted the failure of two Nevada politicians: Senator John Ensign and Governor Jim Gibbons. I know the two clowns better than an entertaining act shown at the casino. I wrote books about them from my observations in Nevada - ‘John Ensign's Extramarital Mistress in Sin City’ - And then introduced myself to Senator Ensign for an autograph on the book. It was Halloween day when he walked into the juice bar at my gym wearing what I thought was a costume from the DC comic book character, The Flash. The mistake was made easy. Hosts at the front counter where wearing erotic Wonder Woman outfits. Weight trainers had gladiator costumes that were borrowed from casinos with a Roman theme to impress tourists. Ensign had a bicycle suit on with deep red incarnations to show off his reflexes. He appeared to be The Flash out of a DC comic book.
