I’ve already heard of one pundit declaring that Rod Blagojevich’s surprise appointment of Roland Burris is political genius.
Yeah, we can call it that because the guy has had such a pattern of brilliant moves. Let me play chess against this guy, ’cause Garry Kasparov he ain’t.
Back in civics class, we were told that the reason why the two party system has basically stayed intact for the last hundred and forty years is because they are self correcting. Because of the way our system works here, they can absorb third party movements and adapt to changes in the electorate. This is [...]
Some folks decided to bash Jonathan Paton in one of my posts about Steve Leal. Hey, bash his silly, somewhat punitive and nakedly partisan proposal, but, the guy does live in city limits.
Republicans in Tucson have been trying to get rid of partisan elections for city council for years. The arguments have ranged from whiny [...]
Being upset because a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee is distributing a song called “Barack the Magic Negro” is “hypersensitivity.” Going into annual rages about a War on Christmas because a greeter at Target says “Happy holidays” is perfectly reasonable.
The blog went down last week, and this weekend it seemed to be less than reliable. The folks over at DreamHost, who host the blog, suggested I install a new version of WordPress, the software I use to write the blog. I took the opportunity to install a new plug-in to filter out spam comments, [...]
There’s a friend of mine who listens to Monica Crowley. She’s not a fan of the woman’s politics, but she finds Crowley’s constant indignant rants amusing. So, I’ve gotten a few doses of the Crowley’s view of the world.

Already, the names of possible candidates have been surfacing for Steve Leal’s seat. One is Eva Carrillo-Dong, longtime member of the Sunnyside School Board. Her name was also out two years ago as a possible replacement for Leal if he resigned to run for mayor. There may be a hitch though: already, one person has [...]
For some reason, this blog has been down for a couple of days. It miraculously resurrected itself this morning. I guess that would make more sense at Easter, but, feh…
Feliz Navidad. Wesołych Świąt.
Long time Tucson City Councilmember Steve Leal has announced that he is not running for re-election. Leal has served on the council since defeating Roy Laos in 1989.
This will open up a scramble among South Side politicos which for political junkies will be a watered down substitute for the meal that they would have had [...]
I wrote an extremely short post about Rick Warren speaking at the innauguration (three words!), and a couple of you responded that this is an sign that Barack Obama wants to reach out to the Evangelical community.
Okay, granted, this is important. Obama will be president of the whole country after all.
However, I wonder if picking [...]
