Governor Janet Napolitano should sit in her office all day and anonymously sign paperwork. So says former State Senator John Greene, who this week filed a complaint about Napolitano’s activities with the office of Attorney General Terry Goddard. No word on Goddard’s reaction when it crossed his desk, but I’m guessing it was somewhere between [...]

I spoke to a friend of mine who is a supporter of Steve Farley’s campaign the other day. He was concerned that Nina Trasoff may be going negative on Farley. I’m not sure I quite get where he is coming from. His concern was based on comments that Trasoff made in a recent Tucson Weekly [...]
Late Wednesday night, three people were killed out on Ajo and Kinney roads here in Tucson. A sheriff’s deputy named Timothy Graham was attempting to apprehend a mentally ill man named Aaron Swyers. A struggle ensued, and a cabbie that had just happened by named Dawud Abusida and attempted to help. Traffic along that stretch [...]

They ran a bit on NPR yesterday on a new survey about Latino students and financial aid. Excelencia in Education, the group that commissioned the study, found that: Latino students rely heavily on federal aid and on grants in particular, according to the report, given that they are more likely to be first-generation college students [...]

I get a regular e-mail bulletin from Charlie Cook. Unfortunately, I can’t remember how it was I managed to subscribe to it, and the posting on his website requires a password. His latest one, which I recieved yesterday, is a rundown on his thoughts on the special election in Ohio, where Democrat Paul Hackett did [...]

For some reason, three advertisements got posted as comments to my last entry. I have deleted them. They were all posted anonymously. I like y’all being able to do that, since it seems to maximize the number of you out there that can post. I hope I can continue to do this. I can easily [...]
I have resisted the urge to say anything on here about my brother’s troubles. Unfortunately, the Arizona Republic decided to run a smart alecky piece about them. Not only was it expressly an off the record conversation between my brother and the reporter, Mr. Sherwood (Sherwood saying “this is off the record” I guess is [...]
In my entry entitled “Johnny’s Last Christmas,” I neglected to include the best speech ever at a YDA convention. Since I no longer will be able to go to conventions (unless I am very pathetic…), here it is. We met in Charleston, West Virginia in 1995. We had a female president then, Jody Buckley, and [...]
We managed to get Brittany Farbo elected the treasurer of the GLBT caucus of the Young Democrats of America. This was after she lost elections to be the chair and seceretary of the group. It was all pretty ridiculous, actually. She has done work for EMILY’s List and works for a pretty snazzy consulting firm [...]
I dunno how the heck I forgot about Rep. Barney Frank’s speech. The guy was funny and insightful as usual. One good line: People are worried about the liberal influence at Harvard. George Bush is proof that you can go to Harvard and Yale and emerge totally unaffected. I got to drive him around at [...]
