This morning, I heard on KUAZ that Governor Napolitano stormed out of a meeting with legislative leaders saying, “You don’t need to walk out, because I will.”
Yeah, a nice story, one that would be emblematic of the squabble over the English language learners legislation. It would be, except it seems to be untrue. I spoke [...]
Okay kids, remember the spin: deep differences among Republicans indicate they are an inclusive “big tent.” Any differences among Democrats are a civil war within the party and indicate that those darned liberals are unfit to govern.
-sigh-
The latest hoo-hah that the local media is trying to overblow is a supposed row over immigration between Raúl [...]
Okay, I have to admit that I ruthlessly stole this from Wactivist. Mr. T in AZ, proprietor of that site, was a bit taken aback by how much attention was given by television networks to the story of Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt and their injuries in Iraq. Why, he asks, is so much attention [...]
Well…David Burnell Smith’s legislative career has ended with not a bang, but a whimper.
Yes, I am allowed clichés. This is my blog, after all.

Wait, that didn’t happen. The legislature went back into regular session, and even took the weekend off.
Near as anyone [...]
Funny how many people read this blog. I recieved a note from Barrett Marson, who works as the Director of Communications for the Arizona House of Representatives:
Tedski, I read your blog every day and do so love it. You may remember me from being the legislative reporter from the Daily Star for a couple years [...]
The Arizona Court of Appeals has ruled that Clear Channel must remove billboards from along I-10.
This is one of several ongoing legal actions between Clear Channel and various local governments. It is one of many instances where Clear Channel seemed to believe that they don’t need to follow the rules that other companies need to [...]
A correspondent in Yuma sent me a story about the former Yuma County School Superintendent Judeth Badgley. She’s a Republican Schools chief who two years ago presided over a reign of kick-backs and political favortism. This sounds vaguely familiar…I know there is a reason that the story was sent to me…
