As an otherwise abysmal 2009 Legislature wound down, solons earned congratulations for doing right by Nevadans in one respect. Thanks are also in order to MGM Mirage and Harrah's Entertainment, which both lent high-profile support to the measure, tirelessly championed by state Sen. David Parks. He -- and the supporters he pulled out of the woodwork -- chipped away until all the votes were in place to override the benighted veto of Gov. Jim Gibbons.
(Even the Las Vegas Review-Journal sides with Parks ... much to the dismay of the knuckle-draggers and mouth-breathers who constitute its core readership.)
Of 41 Gibbons vetos (a record), his opposition to domestic partnerships seemed among the surest to stand. While at least 22 of Midnight Jim's vetos have been overriden (another record -- and the first time it's happened in 20 years), this one was the sweetest of all.
Midnight Jim can now return to demonizing his own employees and to his divorce proceedings, which are taking unimaginably tawdry turns.
As for toxic marriages, the gold medal still goes to the Medea/Jason nuptials-from-Hades, which played out recently here in Vegas. Your humble theatre critic had a look-see. In the editing process, "shaving the dice" somehow became "shaving the device," which conjures up some pretty strange imagery, lemme tell ya.
