Poking around on these here internets, I ran across an article in the Tucson Weekly from over ten years ago entitled “Withered Crop”. (The article originally appeared in the New Times.)
Amy Silverman talks at length about the folks that ran the state party at the time (interestingly for those of us who were in the thick [...]
I was talking to a Barack Obama booster the other day, and he noted that if he had been struck as a Hillary Clinton delegate, he’d be ticked off given how many folks who got left on their list couldn’t be bothered to actually show up to run.
I was taken aback by a couple of names they [...]
The four schools that were on the chopping block were granted a reprieve last night. In the end, the only school that any Tucson Unified School District board members attempted to close was Wrightstown. That attempt failed on a 2 -3 vote; the votes in support of closure were Bruce Burke and board president Alex Rodriguez.
Observers wondered if it was [...]
Over on Random Musings, they issued me a sort of challenge:
There is an as-yet-unconfirmed rumor that one of the Clinton superdelegates may challenge the election of [Charlene]Fernandez. I’ll look into this, but if anything comes of it, Tedski [That's me!] will probably have the scoop first.
Well, I poked around, and I was forwarded this:
To: Members, Bylaws Committee

The otherwise level headed Greg Patterson has a post up on Espresso Pundit defending Karen Johnson. Patterson at least admits that the Republic labeling her an “ultraconservative” may be justified (ya think?), but then makes the ridiculous assertion that her views are echoed at Republican and Democratic district club meetings.
What sort of Democratic district club [...]
I caught this post by David Safier over on Blog for Arizona about the impending school closings in TUSD. Heck, more than impending, they plan to vote on them tonight.
Safier underestimates the firepower behind the effort to keep Ochoa open. Because of its location, former Supervisor Dan Eckstrom and his brother Art Eckstrom not only [...]
Three, yes three, seperate people wrote me in response to this morning’s post on the generation gap in voting on prop. 107 back in 2006. That was the last attempt to outlaw gay marriage (actually, it would have had hardly any effect on the already illegal instituition of gay marriage, but would have had a [...]
The other day, I gave y’all the gory details of the arguments given to the Bond Committee in defense of Rillito Downs Racetrack as a case study in how not to make a decent argument.
Here’s another one from Saturday’s State Party Meeting in Phoenix. The lesson: have a vague idea who the heck you are [...]
In a totally unexpected encounter at the gym yesterday, I ran across Richard Kimball. Kimball is a former member of the Corporation Commission that was the Democratic nominee for United States Senate back in 1986. He was beaten by, um, hmm…whatever happened to that guy that beat him?
Anyway, after retiring from elective politics, Kimball ran [...]
Sam George, one of our Corporation Commission candidates, made the rounds at the State Democratic Party meeting Saturday. I neglected to ask him if he was the same Sam George who started ten games for the New England Revolution in 1997 and scored one goal before being traded to the Tampa Bay Mutiny for Ivan McKinley (or [...]
