I’m Getting All Torquemada Over Here

Roy Warden, a good and intimate friend of this blog, decided to post the same rather long notice as a “comment” for four different posts. I don’t like deleting posts (despite the accusations thrown my way, I’ve only done it once before to a non-”spam” post), so I deleted three of them, leaving the one which [...]

Trying Hard Not to Pile On

The Republic reported yesterday that Rep. Trish Groe was caught by a La Paz county Sheriff’s deputy driving without a valid license and with a BAC of 0.16%.
I really don’t feel like piling on. She herself admitted to the deputy that she’s got an alcohol problem. She needs to get some help, and even snide [...]

And Yet One More Theory…

The new story going around in legal circles is that Paul Charlton was fired not for investigating Rick Renzi, but instead for the leak of the investigation just weeks before the election.
Not that I would know anything about that.
The story made the Washington Post, but was ignored by our state’s paper of record. Well, worse [...]

If This Horrible Thing Happens, We’ll Have a Mexican Restaurant on Every Corner and Canadian Actors Will Be All Over Our TV Screens

Because we don’t have any pressing problems before our fair State, the house homeland security committee will be taking up SCM 1002 tommorrow. What important issue does this non-binding memorial bill tackle? It is a resolution against plans to unify Canada, the United States and Mexico into one super state.
You haven’t heard about this? Well, [...]

Um, Okay

Guy I talked to the other day suggested that Elaine Richardson would be an excellent candidate for mayor. I don’t know if this is anything resembling a “draft” or even if she’d be the least bit interested. I’m throwing it out there because, well, he’s a talker and I can’t be the only one he’s [...]

The date has been set for the largest union election in Arizona history. Pima County employees will get to vote on April 3rd and 4th to decide whether or not they will be represented by SEIU.
Expect the SEIU to push for a big turnout in this election. They feel that a decisive victory and a [...]

Elizabeth Edwards

A message went out from John Edwards yesterday:

Elizabeth and I are so grateful for your prayers and wishes. Your support means a great deal to us during this difficult time.As you may have heard, yesterday we found out that Elizabeth’s breast cancer is back, but confined mainly to her bones. Although this isn’t the news [...]

Site Down Today

Here’s some information that is useless based on the fact that I can now give it to you:
This site was down today. According to the folks at DreamHost, there was some trouble with the domain name server. I have to give the DreamHost credit: they responded to my report of the problem immediately, and took [...]

What’s That About Being “Condemned to Repeat It”?

Ya know, if they were going to have a gap of missing e-mails, wouldn’t it have been prudent to choose a number of days other than 18? The words “gap” and “18″ have a bit of resonance with a certain earlier scandal.
Anyone check the times on those? Was it, in fact, an 18 1/2 day gap? Just curious. [...]

So, What Is That Crazy Mustached Man Up to?

Funny you should ask.
Earlier this week, Congressman Raúl Grijalva introduced the Clean Money, Clean Elections Act, which would in essence make Arizona’s Clean Elections System for state office holders the law for federal candidates as well. The bill has been assigned a number, HR 1614, and is also sponsored by Democrat John Tierney and Republican [...]
