Personally I ignored the report coming from inside Las Vegas. It was a dead subject: Ensign’s retirement. Donald Trump spun more attention to himself by calling himself the spokesman for the birthier movement. The birthier movement struck three cords with me: One, and the most important, tourists return to Las Vegas to get married. We are the Wedding Capital of the World. Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe impersonators, and preachers offer quick low cost weddings at wedding chapels along the boulevard, but all married couples return to the Las Vegas Welcome sign near Mandalay Bay. The Birthiers paid money donated by supporters to place a billboard asking for Barack Obama’s birth certificate in the background of photographs taken by newly weds at the Las Vegas Welcome sign. Why not the streets off the boulevard like Flamingo, Sahara, Desert Inn, or Tropicana? Why not off the freeway? Why upset tourists coming to Las Vegas to get married with such unguided anger. The birthier issue was stupid, but why rain the newly weds wedding? Second, traffic. I remember rallies in San Francisco where activists shut down the Golden Gate Bridge. Many of whom were from out of town. The Birthiers joined with Tea Party activists to protest at the busiest intersection of Sunset and Eastern. Traffic madness created congestion. What if a lady was going into labor? What is an ambulance had to get by to save a driver after a car accident? Stop acting like Bolsheviks marching on Red Square with Stalin. Third and last, I might not see my aunt again, because Tea Party activists talked her to driving from Michigan’s upper peninsula to Searchlight. She lost tens of thousands of dollars in oil, gas, repairs after damage caused driving across the country, and all for what? Coyotes at night, desert winds, blowing dust, on a two lane road between Boulder City and Jean, Nevada. The Tea Party talked her into being a birthier and people ridiculed the humor as she drove across country to California wanting to talk about Obama’s birth in Kenya. Searchlight was as much a waste of time as the efforts put into a birthier billboard behind the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Where is the industry is complaining about a sitting President when the nation is trying to resurrect the economy to create jobs?
