Plus, I Know That Leal Prefers Sushi to Hummus Any Day of the Week

Steve Leal, that Steve Leal. He’s just like the Hezbollah, you know?
Well, that’s the impression one would get from a series of “Something to Consider…” ads being run by local developer Bruce Ash. The ad tries to draw comparisons between innocents being killed in Middle East violence to the good people of Tucson being [...]

More Twists and Turns in the Political Crime of the Century!

I know that all of you are on pins and needles about what the national media will no doubt soon be calling “re-direct-gate.” Well, my vast network of operatives has found out some new information to blow the lid off of this burgeoning scandal, which will no doubt shake the foundations of Arizona politics as [...]

Oh, Come On!

Dan Nowicki and Greg Patterson may have caught Janet Napolitano’s campaign doing something horribly underhanded that may be the single worst abuse of the democratic process since the death of Niccolò di dei Machiavelli.
Let’s say instead of typing in goldwater4governor.org, you have a sudden spasm and type in dongoldwater.org. You are then presented with, of [...]

Jonesin’

As many of you know, Rep. Russ Jones made it on to the ballot after all. I read some crowing here and on some of the Republican-oriented blogs about it. The Arizona Supreme Court found that what happened did not constitute forgery, but it did find that:
Substantial evidence supports the trial court’s finding that Jones [...]

Further Proof of this Blog’s Growing Influence on Arizona Politics and, If I May Humbly Say, Western Civilization

Regular readers of this blog may remember a July 7th entry entitled “J. D. Hayworth Needs to Pick Better Heroes”
Check this out: on July 14th, the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix ran an editorial with the following sentence:
We’re not saying that Hayworth is anti-Semitic – only that he should choose his heroes more carefully.
Then today, [...]

“Pop-Up Politicians”

I just picked this item up from Josh Marshall’s excellent Talking Points Memo blog. The folks at Sunlight Foundation have developed a new tool, what they refer to as a “widget,” that bloggers can use on their pages called “Pop-Up Politician.” This “widget” will appear on my page as a sun icon following the name [...]

Department of Unfounded Rumors Department

Some unfounded and contradictory rumors have been circulating over the last couple of weeks:

Alex Rodriguez will drop out of the race and endorse Jeff Latas.
Rodriguez will drop out of the race and endorse Patty Weiss.
Rodriguez will drop out of electoral politics and don a mask and cape to carry on his fight for justice, because [...]

It’s Nevada

Nevada won out in the competition to be the caucus after Iowa. There is still the possibility that Arizona can have an early primary, maybe even the first after New Hampshire like in 2004.
I would allege that the Nevada Democratic Party plied the Democratic National Committee with hookers and booze, but now that Las Vegas [...]

But Dwight Leister Assures Us He Is Not A Racist

Today’s Star ran a story on the continuing sapping of Tucson’s political power in this state. Former (more like “ersatz”) congressional candidate Dwight Leister had the following reply:
It is not just who is the biggest in Arizona but wages being surpressed by MEXICANS is beginning to hit home! Take a look at your southern Arizona [...]

So Which One Is It Where the Pricks Are On The Inside?

Arizona is a step closer to grab “first in the nation” status as a caucus state.
Well, not first, because the DNC still seems to be wedded to the quaint notion that voters in New Hampshire and Iowa are naturally more qualified to all but hand pick the Party’s nominees. Well, no one ever says that, [...]
