Penn Jillette Defends Vegas Against Obama Barbs

Posted by Editor on February 8th, 2010

Penn Jillette has, for the last 10 years, become more visible champion for a pair of causes: his adopted hometown of Las Vegas and his political opinion. Finally, the two rivers have reached a confluence with a CNN editorial taking President Obama to task for ridiculing folks who spend money in Sin City.

Here is a sampling…

The last time Obama made a negative comment about Vegas, some jumpy, patriotic, image-conscious corporations canceled some trips here. That’s what we figure here in Vegas. There’s no way to really know if many people really canceled.

Do people really go to the president for travel advice? But in Vegas, most of us make our money from tourism or serving others who make their money from tourism.

Tourism is what we really, really do in the Silver State. It’s not like Obama is giving the Mojave subsidies for not growing soybeans. It’s too easy to not grow soybeans in the stinking desert; we do it for free. Not farming is one of our vegan gifts to the rest of the country.

It’s a good read, check it out here. Also, we just realized the dude from Avatar is Katy Perry’s boyfriend in this video. In your face Jake Sully.

Derren Brown’s Nominated For 2nd Olivier Award

Posted by Editor on February 8th, 2010

As explained by his official blog, the Olivier award is the UK’s equivalent to the Tony which is to say it’s the highest accolade for live theater performance. Derren Brown previously took one home for Something Wicked This Way Comes and is now nominated for Enigma.

Derren says, “Touring with the stage show is by far my favourite part of the year. I’m so excited to get it up and running again. This tour had to double in size to accomodate demand, which makes it doubly fun to do. Particularly this show, which is such a massive pleasure to perform.” On the subject of a possible second Olivier, he added, “It’s amazing to be nominated. And if the show does win, it has the advantage that means that if you come and don’t like it, then you’re wrong and I can prove it.”

Congrats to Derren and crew.
