I heard tonight of the passing of local activist Lorraine Lee. She died after a prolonged illness.
Lee had served more than two decades of Chicanos por la Causa. Many people think of CPLC as just a Hispanic advocacy organization, but under Lee’s leadership, it had a broad range of activities, including helping senior citizens with housing, funding scholarship programs and [...]
It is not Greg Patterson’s job to satisfy me. As a matter of fact, if I were happy with Greg’s stuff on any sort of regular basis, it would be time for both of us to check our meds. We’d both need more.
But, I have to say I am disappointed in the former State Representative. [...]
Joe Biden on Rudolph Giuliani:
There are only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11
The first Democratic presidential candidate has opened up an office in Tucson. Barack Obama’s Tucson office is at 4500 E Speedway, Suite 25-26. Not the best place for street frontage, but so far, this is the only campaign with paid staff in Southern Arizona. This is pretty remarkable, given that only a few months ago [...]
Just a follow-up on my bit on Fred Duval’s run for DNC: I recieved an e-mail from a Jeff Latas fan (remember when those folks all thought I was Satan?) who wanted to note that Latas is interested in running for the DNC too.
I’m not sure that Latas can beat DuVal one-on-one, but he really [...]
Even as a frequent critic of John McCain, I thought he was pretty clever with his “I was tied up…” jibe when going after Hillary Clinton for funding the Bethel Arts Center, which has been derided as the “hippie museum.”
Of course, “hippie museum” is pretty far from what it actually is.
The only thing that is [...]
Saturday’s Political Notebook had a bit on the baby dolls that had been appearing around Rodney Glassman’s signs.
[Lori] Oien said she had no idea that the dolls were set under the Glassman signs, although she said it was interesting that someone in the community felt the same way she does. “I had nothing to do [...]
I got a call today from Fred DuVal, who is stumping for votes for the Democratic National Committee slot being vacated by Joe Rios. This would not be DuVal’s first stint on the committee, having served as an “at-large” member in the 1990’s.
DuVal is promising to get more resources for Arizona, something is is very [...]
Sometimes, there is no need to elaborate.
A fella named Frank Schmuck is running for State House up in the East Valley.
Yep.
You know, I almost forgot about Tomás Tancredo. He kind of fell off the radar screen for me. Every once in a while, I sit there and think to myself, “Gosh, is he still as much of a gamoń as before?”
It turns out, yes, he is. All is right with the world.
Sen. Dick Durbin had [...]
