There’s that story, most likely made up, that Rudy Giuliani said “Thank God George Bush is our President” when he found out about the attacks on the World Trade Center. But, every time I hear about another dumb ass publicity stunt perpetrated by Joe Arpaio, I say to myself, “Thank God Clarence Dupnik is my [...]
Steve Farley reports that he will be debating Pat Buchanan (of all people) at 10:30 AM local time on MSNBC. Farley says that he has been assured that Buchanan is the most gracious of hosts, but we’ll see if he can snag a coffee mug like he can from Bill Buckmaster.
The topic will be on [...]
Today is the birthday of former Attorney General, Governor and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt.
Babbitt was elected Attorney General of Arizona in 1974, the last Democrat elected to that office until Janet Napolitano won in 1998. He served as governor of Arizona from the death in 1978 of Governor Wesley Bolin until 1987 when he made [...]

Good to see [...]
In a previous post, I implied that Ed Ableser uses mousse. I have been assured by sources that he uses other hair products, but not mousse.
R Cubed regrets the error.
I’ve received a couple of e-mails from folks asking me when Tim Bee was going to resign. It didn’t occur to me that such a thing would be imminent, but he may need to sooner rather than later.
There are two things Bee has to do before he tries to take down Gabrielle Giffords in the next election. [...]
Growing up, I’d see protests against dictators in Poland, South Africa, Chile or wherever, and the response by those in charge was always the same: call out the water canons and show ‘em who’s boss. It was even George Wallace’s and Ross Barnetts’s weapon against civil rights protestors in our country back in the 1960’s.

The Lege went Sine Die late last night. I don’t know the exact time, but the e-mail announcing the close of the session hit my box at 10:57 last night.
This leaves me with a gaping hole in material for months. Where will I go? What will I do?
