New unconfirmed and dubiously sourced rumor: should Janet Napolitano leave for Washington, a possible member of her successor’s staff would be Ray Carroll. The folks that told me this think that Carroll is looking at the possibility of another four years in the minority of the Board of Supervisors and ain’t looking forward to it. This [...]
All eyes seem to be on the maybe soon open Congressional District 7, but we don’t even know if it will actually be open. But, over on the other side of Country Club Road, there is already mumbling about which Republican gets to be beaten like a gong by Gabrielle Giffords and pretend to like [...]
I was proud when Howard Dean told me that he thought the name of my blog was “erudite.”
Well, I was proud after I looked up “erudite.”

Rene Gutel interviewed me, along with other luminaries like Ken Cheuvront and Kirk Adams, for a piece for NPR’s Day to Day regarding local reaction to the possibility of Janet Napolitano and its reprecussions for state politics.
The show is not broadcast on KUAZ, KNAU or KJZZ, but the show will be available later today at NPR’s website.
