The Nation had a reporter at the College Republican National Committee meeting last week. Which gives me a chance to put this fine picture of the aptly named Paul Gourley back up. I wondered if I was taking potshots at some young guy that didn’t deserve to be picked on. Boy, was I ever wrong. […]
I’m sure that all of you in my adoring public are waiting for my comments on the President’s speech tonight. Well, I’d be happy to comment, if he had anything new to say. Given this, I found something far more interesting and important to talk about.
I read in the American Prospect this morning about a […]
Today, that instead of writing about actual issues, I would instead try to write about something trivial, just like the real political writers do. I mean, it’s not like anything important is going on.
Instead of writing about politics, I’ll just take this opporitunity to make fun of people.
A couple of left-leaning websites managed to get […]
I was disappointed by this morning’s Political Insider column in the Arizona Republic. Yeah, most of the time, it is written too smugly (it is, after all, a “tounge-in-cheek look at Arizona politics”). This morning, the column consisted of one item, a short one too, about Rep. David Burnell Smith’s campaign finance woes. This is […]
When people would complain about the mid-decade redistricting that occured in Texas before the last year, I would point out that because of our Independent Redisticiting Commission, it could not happen in Arizona.
Well, yes and no.
What Rep. Tom DeLay did in Texas would be constitutionally impossible here. Instead we have the IRC draw the lines. […]
The Republicans have finally found themselves a candidate to run against Governor Janet Napolitano next year. No, I don’t mean Teresa Ottesen or Keith DeGreen; I mean a serious candidate.
Former State Senate President John Greene made a quick announcement today. I found it very suprising; I hadn’t seen his name floated before. Turns out that […]
Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manilla died monday. Sin led the overthrow of not one, but two corrupt and oppressive governments. Sin was one of the leaders of the church in the 1980s, along with Cardinal Józef Glemp and Archbishop Oscar Romero, who defied orders to stay out of politics and use the weight of his […]
Former Congressman Sam Coppersmith has added Rum, Romanism and Rebellion to his links. It actually is an honor, and that’s not just me trying to puff him up.
I worked on Rep. Coppersmith’s senate race back in 1994. Unfortunately, he got spanked by Jon Kyl, who will get spanked next year by Jim Pedersen (shh…he’s not […]
The Republicans are still having trouble recruiting candidates to run against Governor Janet Napolitano. I keep hearing that they reign supreme in this state, with their five-point registration lead and all. It’s become so funny that it’s actually a bit sad that a major party can’t find anyone to run.
The latest person to snatch his […]
Cole Hickman, who was very active in the ASU Young Democrats, is in basic training for the US Army. He has sent letters to Tony Cani, who posts them on his blog, Fear Itself. Expect these to be pretty regular, since basic consists of all that exciting obstacle course stuff you see on the ads, […]
