We Kate Bennett. We really, really Kate Bennett.
Editor's Note:
Sure, she's only one of many beautiful people in Las Vegas, but we found it necessary to run not one, not two, but three images of writer Kate Bennett in our Beautiful People issue [May 11]. Why, you ask? Was it because we're creepy weird? Well, yes, that and a production snafu that replaced the Arts & Entertainment page with a repeat image of the lovely Mrs. Bennett. Color us obsessed.
I just read the new issue [May 11]. I was disappointed in the cover article on the Most Beautiful People in Las Vegas. Naturally I was disappointed that I was left out. But a lot of others should have been included.
Channels 3, 5, 8 and 13 all have newscasters that would make the grade. How about Kathy Rae or Sue Manteris?
What about the TV real estate lady on Sunday mornings, namely, Lark Williams? The cocktail waitresses are certainly attractive. A lady named Catherine from New Orleans who was working at the Rio is easily a perfect 10.
Reader: I fail to see the humor in a Bush impersonator. I am unhappy.
Gosh, now, wasn't that interesting, the Weekly treating its readers to a review of the White House Correspondents dinner as if it were just another occasion for Danny Gans, or whatever the fuck Bush's impersonator's name was, to get off a few lame laughs [May 4, "Being Bush"]. Who cares the president is a war criminal and mass murderer and arch liar, and for once someone made a few scathing remarks to his actual face, the most important thing is that it's all just entertainment, we slap each other on the back and go home to sleep well in our beds. God forbid the Weekly pursue the angle of how fascist it was when Bush came here for the first time in two years, just to pick up a million for robot Porter in his Batmobile limo and have zero contact with any Las Vegan ...
[I hope] you assholes [are] proud of yourselves and that stupid article about Bush's hilarious Rich Little double ... Why anyone even bothers reading your crap paper, other than its ads make all the women of Las Vegas look like cheap hookers.

Thank you for taking the time to not only read, but respond to, our article, Russ!
Dear Editor:
I am a student from the Art Institute of Las Vegas. I used to attend the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and a good amount of my freelance jobs were in Miami. I am writing to you about a recent article you wrote titled "Miami Beatdown' [April 6].
In the article, you made repeated negative remarks about Miami. These remarks were harsh and mostly untrue. Not every street is a "crack alley" and locals don't "slit your throat" to borrow your car. These remarks were definitely crossing the line and certainly not entertaining. Most of it came across as you complaining, and it would have been nice just to read about the Winter Music Conference.
Miami is a beautiful and cultural place which I love dearly. I hope next time you write about an event in Miami you can spend less time bad-mouthing it, and more time serving up the good entertainment news.
Sincerely,
Student
The Most Interesting Excerpt From A Much Longer Yawner About Politics and Ethics in Las Vegas and wisconsin:
... Take the name Oscar and add the vowels E and U with a slight jumbling—the result—carouse—an extremely fitting nomenclature in the conduct of our mayor. Webster defines carouse as "to drink freely!!" ...
