Tax Season Special Enrollment Period Ends April 30 HOW FUNNY The Kevin Hart-Will Ferrell comedy Get Hard is slightly controversial, but our reviewer found it more misguided than offensive.
It was a good laugh ... And that should be enough. –Fan Farron We enjoyed it for what it was. I know the critics are complaining that they were pandering to lowest denominators ... It was the script, not the acting. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’d watch it again. –Denise Bolaños
UNIQUE DELICACY San Diego’s Searsucker opened at Caesars Palace, and readers were surprised to find bull’s balls as one of the menu specials.
Eww ... not EVEN going to try that. –Lynn Murray Haha! What the hell do you guys think is in the majority of hot dogs? 100 percent beef? –Jor’El Vaaz At least they’re –Kyle Bass
not
blue.
MAN AT THE TOP We profiled XS’ Jesse Waits, and you dished on him and the scene.
Respect to this man. I personally know how hard his work ethic is. –Donald Carlisle Still can’t see the allure of spending hundreds of dollars on a bottle of booze and listening to someone spin records. To each his/her own. –Bob Kelly
SUPERHERO DIVERSITY The Q&A with UNLV prof Julia Lee inspired a discussion on race.
The movies are a little behind the comic books, but Marvel has been really good about diversifying their
characters to include more minorities. What she is asking for is actually happening to big characters, it’s just taking place on the page and not on the screen. It would be kind of neat if she included some comic discourse into her lessons because the impact of minorities taking bigger roles has been an emphasis in comics for the last decade. –Rick Quemado
WISH GRANTED? Ride Genie’s uninspiring debut in Las Vegas continues the local debate about Uber and other ridesharing possibilities.
I don’t understand ... If Uber is classified as a software company then why are they in every city taking fares from people who want rides? Isn’t that a transportation company? And why are they not paying license fees like other transportation companies? –Yolanda Barragan It’s way less hassle to bid a rental for $20-$30 a day and avoid the corruption. –Raymond Mays F**k Uber, bring Lyft. At least they respect their clients’ privacy. –Richie Villafuerte

PHO REAL We fell in love with Pho Sing Sing. You?
Their mi sate and homemade original egg rolls are the best! This is a Vietnamese family oriented place. The food is amazing. When I can’t make it at home I come here. –Jackie Ho
Nevadans who take advantage of this period will still need to pay their fee for 2014 and will also need to pay for the months they were not insured during 2015. If a Nevadan enrolls in a health insurance plan through Nevada Health Link before the 15th of the month, coverage will start on the first day of the following month.
Prefer Pho So 1 and Pho Saigon 8. –Ai-Quoc N. Heller Pho Kinh Do is so incredible that I have a hard time walking into another establishment. Their broth is simply heartwarming and superb! –Kristina McCoy
