Check Your Calendars, Boys

John Munger quoted in the Arizona Daily Star, regarding gender discrimination at Tucson Country Club:
In my opinion, Terry Goddard should butt out. This is not a public accommodation — it is a private club.
Of course, Woolworth lunch counters, hotels and Pullman cars weren’t “public accommodations” either.

La Cervecera Gets Slapped Around on Payday Loans

I read this piece by Howard Fischer this morning. Tell me something: what does it say that the likes of Vernon Parker and John Munger, neither of whom are exactly vessels of proletarian outrage, get to call you out for being an industry stooge and selling out the working poor? Heck, even Joe Arpaio got [...]

A Clue About John Munger’s Base

Hat tip to the pseudonymous poster calling himself “A Person With Multiple Cars.” This is from the John Munger campaign’s “How Can I Help?” page:
Put a “Munger for Governor” bumper sticker on each of your cars
They fail to note that a supporter can put yard signs in each of his or her homes, and sign [...]

Payday Lending an Issue in the Next Republican Primary?

Ah, the payday lenders are at it again. Last year, y’all remember that despite a well-financed campaign, their attempt to change the laws to keep their doors open failed at the ballot box 41-59. Now, they have brought on Doug Cole, Chuck Coughlin and Grant Woods on board to lobby the legislature. If they are [...]

Bruce King Award Nominee

La Cervecera on Terry Goddard, as quoted in the Arizona Daily Star:
It’s easy to be a Saturday night quarterback.
I realize I spend my sports-watching hours following the other kind of football, but isn’t the phrase “Monday Morning Quarterback”? I mean, teams play on Saturday nights, right?

Cat Slowly Exits Transparent Bag

A certain Samuel Pearson Goddard III, also known by the alias “Terry,” has filed an exploratory run for governor. The web page for his explorations is up too.
Since everyone knew this would happen, it is my job to make this interesting by harping on some minor facts.
Goddard’s campaign chairwoman is former Arizona Cantaloupe Queens pitcher [...]

Just So Y’all Understand…

Henry Fountain Ashurst’s “cold clammy hand of consistency” at it again, to wit:
Barack Obama is fully responsible for an economic downturn that started before he was president, and bank bailouts that happened under the previous administration and supported by his opponent in last year’s election are his fault too.
Jan Brewer has absolutely nothing to do [...]

Brewer Announces

La Cervecera is scheduled to make an announcement in a few minutes, saying that she is going to run for governor. As for her chances of being re-elected, the headline in the Yellow Sheet says it all for me:
Pollsters Say Brewer Isn’t Toast
Gosh.
The article goes on to give the ray of hope that people, according [...]

Overinterpreting

The big talk today is that Jan Brewer will announce she is running for re-election.
Or is that just “election”? Do they call it re-election when you never actually got elected to the office? You are all free to argue about this. The more pedantic the comment, the better, I always say.
I spoke to an R-Cubed [...]

Just Wondering…

How long before some Republican sycophant posts on a blog or Twitter feed that last night’s results in Virginia and New Jersey should be credited to the genius work that Kevin Tyne did at the RGA for the last couple of weeks?
We’re counting…1…2…3…
