Tarnish:
The Grimy Side of the Silver State
Our Motto: "It's only libel if it isn't true--then it's satire."


Welcome to Tarnish, which is an anagram for the word "trash" but with "n" and "i" left over. Seriously, Tarnish is a publication dedicated to shining the cold, unforgiving light of cynicism upon Northern Nevada and watching the various objects of scrutiny run for cover, just like cockroaches but without their wholesomeness and grace. Tarnish would also like to point out that its journalistic integrity is on par with the finest news sources in the world--Useless News and World Distort, Slime magazine, the Boston Probe, Peep-Hole magazine, Snoozeweek, and our local bastions of accuracy, the Reno Gazoo-Urinal and the Sparks Tribute to Illiteracy--meaning that we have none, but at least we're honest about it. For those of you who haven't guessed, Tarnish is a satire site. If you lack a sense of humor, are naive, or are just plain stupid, we suggest you hang out with some kindred losers. Otherwise, it's all the baloney you can stomach.
