One of the things that bothers me about coverage of political stories is the “plague on both their houses” attitude that seems to emerge when there is a negative campaign. This happens whether or not the attacks are substantive, or even whether or not both campaigns are engaged in it. Take the Rodney Glassman – [...]

I hadn’t acknowledged it yet, but Sunday’s Arizona Republic featured a story on blogs and included this one as one of three “must reads.” Of course, this is an indication of good taste and refinement on the part of our state’s leading daily and paper of record.

Both the 2005 and 2006 elections were fantastic nights for Democrats, no doubt they wanted to [...]

See, when you don’t check your e-mails for a while, you miss out. This was a gem that sat unread in my mailbox since Friday: Some of you may think this unusual, but I would like you to vote for Beryl Baker in the Ward 1 Tucson City Council election? Let’s talk straight for a [...]

Today is election day! Get out there and vote! Since it is election day, R-Cubed will be engaging in a “news blackout” this morning. This is in the public interest. Either that, or I would have to admit that I have no idea what to write this morning.
There was yet another interview with voters in a Godforsaken milltown in New Hampshire, because these folks have been selected by Providence to tell the rest of us which presidential candidates to vote for. Yep, because the voters of New Hampshire are just better quality Americans than those of us consigned to live in warmer [...]
