The Citizen ran an editorial yesterday lauding Jonathan Paton’s planned hearings on Child Protective Services. For once, I see both the media and elected officials recognize that the directive to CPS to intervene when children may be in danger is in conflict with the policy of the Department of Health Services to keep families together.
Although Paton [...]
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has told families of six trapped Utah miners that the United Mine Workers can’t represent their interests in the upcoming safety investigation.
The reason: the workers themselves have to sign the paperwork. Maybe they haven’t noticed, but it’s a little dark there and hard to see where to sign.
I’m sure [...]
I was thinking about Larry Craig’s rationale: that a guilty plea is not an admission of guilt. Somehow he was intimidated or nervous and felt he had to plead guilty.
You know, he might have a point there. He and his colleagues have spent so much of the past few years evicerating the rights of criminal [...]
There are moments when I wonder if there is some element of the Republican party that wants to make sure that Jon Stewart has enough material. “Wide stance“? At least he didn’t blame a black guy.
Maybe it is more nefarious than that. Some of these guys are so wedded to the notion that gays are [...]
This Wednesday, our local Democrats will be throwing a retirement party for Karl Rove. No word on whether or not he is going to be there.
The event will be Wednesday at Hotel Congress, and runs from 7-10 PM. The cost is $20 at the door, $10 with a student ID. There is a raffle for [...]
Everytime there is one of these big busts of some corporate titan for malfeasance, there is something that I never get tired of seeing. It seems that when one of these guys gets busted, they claim that they didn’t know anything, that they were victims of some nefarious doings of the underlings. This is something [...]
The talk in the Dee of Cee is that Alberto Gonzales, our favorite cabinet official, will be announcing his resignation today.
The sick bastard partisan inside of me kind of wanted him to stick around so he could bring the whole crew down. Of course, how much further down can they go?
The Yellowsheet is reporting that Russell Pearce will be forming an exploratory committee to take on Jeff Flake. According to Pearce, Flake is “treasonous” and a “hypocrite.” The Yellowsheet also quotes Pearce as saying Flake is “bad for America:”
I think Jeff Flake is bad for America. His policies are destructive to this nation. You can’t [...]
Rodney Glassman is having a campaign party tonight at the Maverick (King of Clubs!) at 6622 E Tanque Verde. The party goes from 5:00 to 7:30, and everyone is welcome to attend. It is hosted by Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.
The event is free, because Glassman has already raised all of the money he can raise. He [...]
There was an interesting bit in Daniel Scarpinato’s article on Tim Bee, published in this Wednesday’s Star:
After initially sidestepping a question about the Iraq war, Bee said, “I believe that this war has been poorly executed, and there have been many mistakes made along the way, but at the same time, it’s going to be [...]
