I Love You, But I’ve Chosen Snarkiness

Okay, just to make things clear: the “endorsement” of Joe Biden the other day was a joke. Yes, I know he isn’t on the ballot it Arizona, which is the whole reason I did it. I included a link at the bottom of the post labeled “check the list” in the hopes that y’all would [...]

S’awlright…

For those of you that are curious, today is the feast day of St. Stephen, as in “Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the Feast of Stephen…”
So, you are free to sing that song today if you wish.
By the way, Wenceslaus wasn’t a king but a duke. Don’t say that one too loud, however. Apparently, [...]

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Wesołych Świąt

From the R-Cubed family to yours, Merry Christmas. To Rudy Giuliani, a belated happy Eid al-Ahda.
For me, tonight will include sharing the oplatek at St. Cyril’s, and eating tamales with the Villa clan. Being multi-ethnic is fun.

Blame Jim Nintzel

Over at Random Musings they remark that twelve of the Democratic candidates listed on the “Presidential Preference Election” ballot are from Tucson. I could make some snide comment that this is evidence that those of us in Tucson are just more engaged in civic life than our poor cousins from the Valley of the Yakes. [...]

Tymoteusz Pszczoła i Jacek Harfista Pokazą Komuś Gdzie Raki Zimują Generałowi Rataczakowi

A conflict that has been simmering for the past few months is about to come to a boil. You may remember that at the beginning of the summer there was a dispute over the reappointment of Arizona’s National Guard Adjutant General, General David Rataczak. Senator Jack Harper, Chariman of the Goverment Committee, refused to schedule a [...]

This Blog Endorses…

Finally, we here at R Cubed headquarters have made our choice. After mulling it over for months, pouring over position papers and evaluating their haircuts…we have come to a decision.
Our choice is…
Joe Biden…but only in the Arizona Presidential Preference Election.
NB – Check the list.

Eckerstrom Out

This morning Daniel Scarpinato reports that Paul Eckerstrom has bowed out of the race for County Attorney. Gosh darnit.
I heard about this earlier in the week. Apparently, he spoke with several people about it at a Pima County Democratic party get together. He didn’t speak to me about it though…I guess…now that he isn’t a [...]

Blair Joins Us Bloody Papists

I am torn about this…Tony Blair has converted to Catholicism. As a Catholic, I am supposed to feel the spirit and welcome this new brother into the fold…but…give me time.

Sin of Omission

It is hard to go after “the award winning” KUAZ news folks, since they seem to be the only folks who care about local news on the Old Pueblo’s radio dial. But, I was a bit taken aback with this morning’s edition of “Political Conversations.” The guest was Jan Brewer, touted as the state’s top elected official [...]

What, He Was Running?

I hear that Tomás Tancredo is dropping out of the presidential race today. Next is the fight over his hundred or so supporters. The ones not named “Tancredo,” I mean.
