The Weekly Has Spoken.
The Tucson Weekly’s Best of Tucson issue is out and they have named Rep. Raúl Grijalva Tucson’s best public servant. Given how, er, less than supportive two of their writers have been in the past, that’s quite a feat.
For some reason, they named John Kromko as the best mischief maker. Given how long its been [...]

Poll Shows Democrats Ahead
Apparently there is a poll circulating that shows Nina Trasoff ahead of Fred Ronstadt, and Karen Uhlich slightly ahead of Kathleen Dunbar. I haven’t seen the poll, so its hard to really draw an awful lot from it.
The thing that it confirms to me is what I’ve been saying all along: Uhlich was going [...]

What’s That They Say About a Gaffe?
Bill Bennett on his radio show this morning:
I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could — if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.

From the above article, it seems that DeLay’s attorney, Bill White, is a Loudon Wainright III fan.

The Doritos Cool Ranch Ft. Bowie Historical Site

Folks breathed a sign of relief when [...]

Michael Brown Testimony
I know all of you are very busy people, so I will summarize Michael Brown’s testimony for you:
It’s all someone else’s fault.
By the way, the big story going around yesterday was that Brown is still on the FEMA payroll as a consultant. At today’s hearing, he was refered to as the “outgoing director” and kept [...]

Another Update
Some of you may remember a while back I wrote a bit on Paul Gourley, the newly elected president of the College National Republican Committee. He was involved in a fundraising scandal. For those who don’t know, Gourley singed off on letters basically bilking elderly contributors. From this, he apparently earned the presidency of the [...]

Quick Take
I heard that last week, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor spoke out against a proposed initiative to make judges in our largest counties elected rather than appointed.

Sorry, I Can’t Buy It.
A story has been making its way around the liberal portion of the blogosphere that Pres. George W. Bush is back on the sauce. The story originated with an overly dramatic account in the always reputable National Enquirer of Laura Bush walking in on the President while he is about to take a shot. Supposedly [...]
