There have been a couple of articles in this past week (here and here) criticizing Tim Bee for not stepping down from his position in the State Senate in preparation for his possible, no, likely, no, certain run for congress next year.
I’m a bit torn about this. I mean, anything where the local press is […]
Yesterday’s CPS hearings didn’t turn into nearly the zoo I thought they would be, despite Ray Barnes’s best efforts.
Both Jonathan Paton and Kirk Adams seem to be endorsing more funding for CPS and giving them more power to intervene when situations warrant it. I’m still doubtful that they can get support for this from their […]
On Sunday, the Republic ran a bit on Karen Fullenwider, managing editor of the Arizona Capitol Times, being fired. Here is the money quote:
“I’ve spent my weeks feeling like some kind of a party planner instead of an editor at a political newspaper,” Fullenwider said.
It may even be worse than that. There are reports of dissatisfaction among […]
I recieved a missive last week from John D’Anna, who is one of the writers for a blog that the Arizona Republic runs called Az Green Day. The blog covers environmental issues. D’Anna is listed as a “Platform Manager” for the Republic. I have no idea what that means, but it probably does not involve nails or two-by-fours.

Linda Lopez has taken the plunge and filed papers to run for State Senate. The trouble is, Victor Soltero has not yet announced whether he will retire at the end of this term.
Lopez had been trying to convince Soltero to step down and run for house again. Apparently, she either gave up trying to convince him […]
Cochise County Supervisor Paul Newman is not going to run for another term. Newman has been serving on the board since 2001. He worked hard on conservation and environmental issues, which didn’t win him any friends among his colleagues or the county’s buisiness establishment.
Occasionally, his fights against the “development at all costs” attitudes and the […]
Melodee Jackson, the woman who served as executive director of the Arizona Democratic party for most of the 1980’s and 90’s, has died.
I occasionally had my differences with her, and there were other times that she stuck up for me. She served the party well, and believed a great deal doing right by the people […]
While in the midst of meddling with Secrets Man Was Not Meant to Know, I accidently changed this here blog’s template. I changed it back, and hopefully have been able to re-arange things so it doesn’t disturb you, my reading public, too much.
As Rusty points out, I don’t watch Fox News, so I missed this one this morning. The folks at Salon’s War Room blog managed to pick it up. It’s Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, with a question from his hard hitting interview with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani:
Mr. Mayor, this is an odd question but I […]
There is an interesting bit on SEIU’s website. It’s called “Walk a Day in My Shoes.” The premise is that various presidential candidates shadow an SEIU member on a typical workday. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Bill Richardson and John Edwards have taken them up on the offer. The lone Republican to […]
