Hookers For Paul, Reid For Mining and A Fistful of Other Nevada News

From brothels to Bellagio's fountains, lawsuits to angry Bing Crosby fans, we bring a you load of Nevada news, even some caucus related.

• Paul has a fan in Dennis Hof. The Bunny Ranch owner plans on putting a donation box at the door of his brothel. No word as to if a Bunny fundraiser was being planned.
• Keeping with the sex and Nevada theme, the San Francisco Chronicle managed to squeeze the words "strippers," "dancers," fishnet body stockings" and "'butt-lifter' jeans" into a story on our Democratic caucus. And that was just in the first two paragraphs. Still, a solid look at some of the issues being faced by Silver State residents.
• Voter fraud in our caucus? Not likely says the Las Vegas Sun.
• But will anyone show up? Survey says only one in three.
• Forget all of Hillary Clinton's Nevada endorsements, says Barack Obama's staff. They claim to have the organization.
• Nevada's Independent American Party is preparing to sue for an exemption to campaign disclosure laws. It has worked in the past for socialist parties.
• Harry Reid reassures Nevada mining communities he has their back.
• Silver State coal plants, however, have people mad all over, including Utahns.
• Drought-stricken Atlanta looks to Vegas for answers. Should avoid the Bellagio fountain comment at end, though.
• Reno man who cut down an American flag that was flying beneath a Mexican one is honored by veterans of the U.S.S. Intrepid.
• And, finally, controversy over an Elko museum's handling of its Bing Crosby memorabilia (second largest collection in the country) makes the Canadian news.
