Robbie Sherwood is leaving the Arizona Republic. He will be working for a firm that handles publicity for, among others, Joe Arpaio and Grant Woods. I guess that means he’ll write fawning press releases about what a great guy Arpaio is. So, he’ll be essentially doing the same thing he does now for more money, [...]
The Republicans are gearing up for a fight for State Chairman. They lost two US House seats and more legislative seats than any observer would have expected even a few months ago. At least judging from the blogs, I don’t hear as much grousing about the governor’s race as I do about the legislative and [...]
I’m sure all of you have already read about the “testy exchange” between Senator-Elect Jim Webb and President Bush. Darnit…I love that.
I have already heard talk that Webb will somehow be an out of control maverick who will be just as likely to vote against the Democratic caucus as with it. I don’t buy it [...]
I spoke to a friend who wanted to know if I was going to ride on Portland’s trolley, then blog about it. Geez, I told him, I don’t blog about trolleys, that’s what Steve Farley’s blog is for.
I rode the trolley and the MAX, which are both part of the Portland area’s TriMet (Tri-County Metropolitan [...]
I came back from Portland just in time to run for Chair of the District 28 Democrats. I lost to Mohur Sidwa, who is a bit of a newcomer to the party but not new to organizing and campaign work. She’ll do a good job, and was actually gracious when she won and said nice [...]
Espresso Pundit has been writing much about the possibility of former Governor J. Fife Symington III running for chairman of the District 11 Republican Committee. Seems like a bit of a step down for a guy who a little more than a decade or so ago was proclaimed as a possible presidential candidate by no [...]
Writing this blog, it’s like being in the mob. I keep wanting to leave but they keep pulling me back in…
I am still able to read the on-line edition of the Star, of course. Here was a bit from Daniel Scarpinato in today’s Political Notebook column:
On ABC’s “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos asked [Sen. John] [...]
Well, I’ll be in the great Northwest for a few days of over-strong coffee and endless rain. I hear it’s hipper up there though.
I’ll be flying on US Airways. I usually bring my copy of the Benedictine Handbook with me, it’s got a psalter and prayers in it. I’d better be careful though. Apparently, prayer [...]
91 people have already checked this site today. 91 on Thanksgiving. What is with you people?
I suppose that means you will be expecting a new post.
Well, I actually don’t have one. But, you may want to read this account of the Southwest’s first Thanksgiving, which happened along the Rio Grande in 1598, predating our friendly [...]
I read once that Russell Baker was having trouble thinking of a column to write, so he went outside to take a walk and a potato fell out of a window. When you are Russell Baker, that takes care of your column right there.
This morning I woke up wanting to write something interesting, but I [...]
