Sandra Dowling for Governor?

I was poking around on Espresso Pundit the other day, and he printed an e-mail that he got from Sen. Karen Johnson, R-Mesa. Johnson was touting the candidacy of Maricopa County School Superintendent Sandra Dowling for Governor. I’m not sure how serious the speculation about Dowling is, here is a snippet from the e-mail that [...]

Pamela Gorman Fundraiser

I was sent a link, probably really for my brother, but what the heck, for a web page for a fundraiser by Rep. Pamela Gorman. Gorman is from the conservative Potemkin village of Anthem. You may remember her as the one that defeated Rep. Clancy Jayne last year in a bruising primary. Gorman [...]

The Other Jason Williams

I walked for the Democratic City Council ticket yesterday. One person who showed up was a fellow named Jason Williams, who is running for Superintendent of Public Instruction next year.

Just as They Seem to Finally Get It

Remember how Bush was supposed to have some sort of crackerjack staff that knew about how important image was? Well, yesterday they decided that it would be really great to have George W. Bush photographed during an appearance at an oil refinery. Yeah, way to go! Is Michael Moore doing their scheduling now?
Also, it turns [...]

Out of the Mouths of Photoshop…

The picture at the right is making the rounds on the Intertron. Okay, I know someone had a great time with Photoshop here, so the picture isn’t literally true. However, I read that Dick Cheney is telling people he made a sacrifice by coming back from vacation four days early. Wow.
There are some truths that [...]

Trasoff Wins!

Nina Trasoff won the Ward Six Democratic Primary by an impressive 65%-35% margin. Early numbers show that she won the mail-in ballots by a ridiculous fifty points. This made for a rather big hole for Steve Farley to get out of. Despite what a couple of people told me tonight, my quick and dirty math [...]

¡Ijuela! It Just Gets Worse

Some of us carping little liberals have been carping lately about Michael Brown’s rather thin resume. Now, it turns out that he may have even exagerated and lied about his previous career.
It’s bad enough that his last management experience ended with his getting fired after several threatened lawsuits (he managed an association that ran [...]
