Audience Participation Portion of the Show

I’m just a little curious about the answer to this from all y’all. How many of you have actually met any of the candidates who are running (or were running) for president this year?
I’ve met four of them:
John Edwards: He’s made numerous visits to Tucson. I only actually met him during one of them though. […]

He Did Say Straight Talk, Didn’t Mention Anything About Voting

I’ve heard more than one pundit mention that this presidential election will be unique because the likely nominees for both major parties come from the United States Senate. This means that not only will votes be scrutinized during the race, but that there will be pressure on the candidates to advance their programs during the […]

What the $%#& Is Up With the Pima County Results? (Part II)

This morning, the Star ran a piece about the troubles on election day. Yesterday afternoon, one Pima County official reported to me that as of that time, there were somewhere around 13,000 provisional ballots still to be counted. On election day, it was reported that this was due to the large number of independents who […]

Razing McCain

Today will be what might be the final quixotic tilt in Rob Haney’s quest to take down Captain John Sidney McCain III. The conservative campaign against the McCain has been revealing. For example, there is this unhinged quote posted by Andrew Sullivan where a conservative writer actually counts McCain’s position against waterboarding as violating core Republican principles. […]

Golly Gee, the Citizen Has an Opinion

So, the Tucson Citizen ran an “editorial” about today’s primary election. Under the headline “Our Opinion:” Arizonans get to vote in a primary today, and some presidential candidates have dropped out of the race. Really?
If these are now “opinions” rather than facts, I guess journalistic standards are slipping.
The closest thing to an actual opinion expressed […]

Nintzel Hits the Big Time?

I dialed my intertron to Salon, and up pops an article by the Old Pueblo’s own Jim Nintzel. Whatever ego boost this gives Nintzel, it likely pales in comparison to Rob Haney’s feeling of accomplishment getting his tiresome (even for me) John McCain hate into a national publication. Say, Haney, whatever happened to that Duncan Hunter that […]

An Early Post-Mortem for the Giuliani Campaign

Any of you ever see the War Room? At the end, James Carville is looking at Ross Perot’s “concession” (if it can even be called that) and exclaims, “This was the single greatest act of masturbation in history!”

Michoacán Seems Like a Dream to Me Now

Those of you that watched John McCain’s concession speech last night noticed the fehlleistung where he said “Mexican voters” rather than “Michigan voters.”
I’m willing to cut the guy a break. He was probably speaking of ? and the Mysterians, who everyone knows are from Flint.
By the way, ? has always said that he’d be singing […]
