Vote for Me, You Paranoid Whacko!

A bit of an update from before: Lisa James’s website is now up and active. Since it is still new, the “news” section is a bit thin, with only two entries.
One is a rather interesting choice: a post from ThinkRight Arizona that endorses James’s candidacy. Why would it be odd to put up a lauditory [...]

Jim’s the Fall

Yesterday’s Citizen had an interview with Jim Kolbe that was both a retrospective of his career and a list of his problems with the Republican party.
The article touches upon the federal investigation into a trip he took with some interns to the Grand Canyon. Kolbe points out that nothing was substantiated. I wasn’t sure what [...]

Darn That Edwards, Why Doesn’t He Act Like a Good Millionaire?

Tipped off to this by Talking Points Memo, the blog that this humble spot on the internet hopes to be someday.
Check this out:

This might be an innocent observation by the MSNBC folks, you know, hey, look, a rich guy that gives a damn. My worry is that this is once again the Republican spin from [...]

Feliz Ano Nuevo, Señor Warden!

In case you need further proof that our system of justice works, even if it may take a time or two: Roy Warden was convicted yesterday of charges of assault, threats and intimidation stemming from an incident back in June when Warden pushed a teenaged camera operator.
So, here’s what I don’t get: the guy does [...]

More Housekeeping

I disabled “Pop-up Politicians.” Many of you, particularly Firefox users, have complained about how slow the page is loading and these complaints seem to correspond to when I started using Pop-up Politicians. In retrospect, I don’t know how much using it brought to the page, since a link to the member’s home page would be [...]

John Edwards to Announce Tommorrow…Oh, Wait, He Did? Wait, He Didn’t.

John Edwards was hoping to put off his presidential announcement until tommorrow, but apparently today his website became hot for a while and then was taken down.
No matter, really. I mean, who thought he wasn’t going to run?
He has made two excellent speeches in Tucson during the 2006 campaign. The speeches were not standard issue, [...]

A Dedicated Epistoler Leaves the Scene

Michael Chessman, leader of something called the Euro-British Coalition, announced last week in a short note that he has ended his e-mail campaign to Arizona legislators.
What, you’ve never heard of Chessman or the Euro-British Coalition?
Chessman’s agenda was to promote British culture in Canada. He would achieve this by installing the English public school system in [...]

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr.

I know that carping liberals like me are supposed to hate the pardon, but I think his only mistake in that was not demanding that Richard Nixon make an appology in return.
Other than that, a decent, but not great president. He even admitted this himself (“I’m a Ford, not a Lincoln.”). He was an admirable [...]

From the R Cubed Family to Yours, Feliz Navidad, Wesołych Świąt

And, in the spirit of eccumenism, a belated Salaam Aleekum to Virgil Goode and Dennis Prager for the Eid holiday, Happy Hanukkah to Judith Reagan and Mel Gibson and Happy Kwanzaa to George Allen.
Oh, and Season’s Greetings to Bill O’Reilly.
