There was a story in the Los Angeles Times this week about Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Included in the article is a list of other big city mayors and their picks. Check out this sentence:
…and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, a Democrat, has crossed party lines to back Sen. John McCain, the Republican […]
Finally, a reason to tell this story. There is a story (probably apocryphal) about a former Tucson City Councilmember that will remain nameless whose wallet was found after a police raid on a local house of ill-repute. The next day, the Chief of Police called him into his office. The wallet was returned, the story says, with […]
Well, the house had a really short session yesterday. An hour and a half by some counts. The only memorable bill discussed and passed was a so-called “gun safety” measure so ridiculous that it should have included the words “veto bait” in the title. Then, they were sent home. Given that some of the legislators had […]
We bloggers have been seeking out the infamous shot of Republican Mahout Randy Pullen at a press availability last week displaying a drawing of a middle finger that was sent to him to protest Jon Kyl’s support of the immigration compromise.
Pullen showed it to a television camera, but the only print photographer that managed to snap […]
Gabrielle Giffords is hosting a border security summit in Douglas today. This comes on the heels of the recent drug-related violence in Cananea. The summit will be at the Douglas Visitors Center, 345 16th Street. That’s sixteen blocks from the border for those of you that are counting.
The invitees include law enforcement officials as well as […]
I haven’t given an update for a while on who is actually running for council this year. You could, of course, check this yourself.
There is only a few weeks left to submit petition signatures. Two Democrats, Ward 2 candidate Rodney Glassman and Ward 4 incumbent Shirley Scott have submitted their signatures so will be listed […]
You may remember that Republican Mahout Randy Pullen sent out a press release decrying the Senate immigration compromise, a fact that many of us have found interesting given that Jon Kyl has been credited for being the main guy pushing for it.
(Of course, many of the provisions of the bill were exactly the sorts of things […]
Today is Memorial Day when we remember those veterans who have died. In the various news stories, I heard a inevitable but still poignant statistic: there are now only three living US veterans of World War I.
To be complete, there are a total of five World War I vets living in the United States, but […]
Hey everyone, John McCain actually voted yesterday. Well, I guess us carping liberals are going to have to shut the heck up about him. Yep, he showed us.
McCain has made a point of saying that he didn’t miss any votes where he would have made a difference and would always be there for votes that would […]
So, guess who asked to be present at this week’s execution of Robert Comer? Sen. Ron Gould.
So, what connection does Gould have to the case? No one seems to know. He wasn’t even living in the state when Comer committed the murders that he was convicted of. The victims weren’t constituents of his. I can […]
