I never follow Phoenix city council races, but a corresponent up there in the Valley of the Yakes sent me some information on a certain Michael Nowakowski who is running up there. I don’t know much about him, but one thing is obvious:
He’s a Polish-Mexican like me.
For once, I can engage in genuine ethnic solidarity!

I suppose I should appreciate Mike Barnicle’s writting, but he sucks as a political commentator. His recent turn as a sub on Hardball was untouched by any knowledge of American political life and the inept questions almost ventured into territory previously explored by The Chris Farley Show.
His political commentary gives us such “gems” as this, [...]
As a snarky Democratic activist, I love the struggle for the Republican Party Chairmanship. Ours turned out to be so darned dull. I mean, Randy Camacho got elected to a lower office and is singing David Waid’s praises now. What fun is that?
A Republican State Committeeman has a choice on Saturday: either Lisa James, who [...]
Most of you, no doubt, have heard the news that Roy Warden was given three years probation for assault and intimidation for an incident back in June when he burned a Mexican flag in front of the Mexican consulate.
Apparently this liberal activist judge did not agree with Warden’s novel legal theory that attacking someone and [...]
Rodney Glassman’s campaign sent out an e-mail to his supporters on January 4th. It was a typical fundraising e-mail with some biographical details plus a “why Rodney will win” bit. Then, it ended with:
Please print the attached contribution form that you also need to complete and mail to me. If you have a spouse, partner [...]
I wanted to correct an earlier post. A correspondent wrote to me and stated that Jonathan Paton is not, in fact, in the Green Zone, but a camp outside of Baghdad and isn’t, according to the correspondent, “even allowed to look in the direction of the Green Zone.”
I hope that no one thought I was [...]
Back in the closing years of the last century, I was regional director for the Young Democrats of America. A month or so into my term, an e-mail hit the YDA listserv (something I started, one of the few tangible accomplishments I made during my brief brush with leadership in that group) announcing that Oklahoma [...]
The Hotline has a preview of former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe’s book, What a Party!: My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals. In it, apparently, we get a mention of our own former Democratic Chairman, Jim Pederson. Far better for you to read it yourself.
Who is coming up with [...]
I expected that David Waid would win. Before the meeting, I would have said that a decisive win would have been 65% or so. Waid won with a ridiculous 86% of the vote. I don’t know if this means that there wasn’t as much enthusiasm from the new progressive wing about Randy Camacho as had [...]
I need to run some errands, so I will give y’all more details later. Here are the folks that won yesterday:
Chair- David Waid (Maricopa)
First Vice Chair- Donna Branch-Gilby (Pima)
Senior Vice Chair- Ken Smith (Navajo)
Vice Chairwomen- Sharon Covey (Cochise), Lois Pfau (Maricopa), Jo Kelleher (Coconino)
