I’m catching up on things that I have been meaning to write for the last week or so. I had to fire my entire staff due to the falling dollar, the collapse of the sub-prime lending market and my continuing ennui following the break-ups of both Sleater-Kinney and The Beta Sweat.
Anyhow, it seems that Phil […]
Regular readers will know that I am not a fan of Phil Gordon. Luckilly for both of us, I don’t have to vote for him or live in his town.
What always galls me about him is how many of his moves seem to be nakedly calculated to tick off one Democratic constituency group or another […]
There was an interesting bit in Daniel Scarpinato’s article on Tim Bee, published in this Wednesday’s Star:
After initially sidestepping a question about the Iraq war, Bee said, “I believe that this war has been poorly executed, and there have been many mistakes made along the way, but at the same time, it’s going to be […]
I heard a bit from Trent Franks on our local NPR affiliate yesterday morning blaming Democrats for the defeat of immigration reform.
A couple of weeks ago, his Republican colleague John Shadegg took credit for helping to defeat immigration reform.
Which is it fellas?
PS - This isn’t the first time they have sent two messages on immigration […]
From a letter signed by Russell Pearce and Bob Burns urging Janet Napolitano to sign the employer sanctions bill:
Notwithstanding all of our efforts, we understand that no bill is perfect and changes may be needed as the bill is imlemented. For that reason, we believe that dealing with this issue through the legislative process is […]
I got a missive from a frequent correspondent wondering why I haven’t taken the governor to task for signing the employer sanctions bill. The writer apparently didn’t notice that except for a post about the death of Mayor Jim Corbett and a quick and dirty posting about Mika Bzezinski, I haven’t posted anything all week.
I don’t […]
Republican Mahout Randy Pullen blogged that Sen. Harry Reid should step down because of his statements about Gen. Peter Pace. For some reason, Reid is not allowed to say anything bad about the guy in time of war without it causing major damage, but the president can actually have the guy sacked in time of […]
Hey, anyone notice that one of the people that voted against cloture on the Senate’s vaunted immigration compromise today was a certain Jon Llewellyn Kyl?
Yeah…remember how the guy was getting so much credit for forging this compromise (after campaigning last year against such compromises)? Hmm…he must love his compromise so much that he doesn’t want […]
Chicago congressman Luis Gutierrez visisted Tucson yesterday for a community meeting organized by Raúl Grijalva. The topic of the meeting was the STRIVE Act, sponsored by Gutierrez and Jeff Flake, and supported by Grijalva.
The public that showed up took up all the seats set up in the gymnasium at the El Pueblo Neighborhood center. The […]
Gabrielle Giffords is hosting a border security summit in Douglas today. This comes on the heels of the recent drug-related violence in Cananea. The summit will be at the Douglas Visitors Center, 345 16th Street. That’s sixteen blocks from the border for those of you that are counting.
The invitees include law enforcement officials as well as […]
Early last month, State Republican Chair Randy Pullen sent out a press release on the eve of President Bush’s visit to Yuma warning Democrats not to oppose the President’s stance on the border. Of course, Democrats were probably closer to Bush on the issue than Pullen himself was.
The press release, sent on April 5th, contained this paragraph:
Just […]
The Border Action Network is holding a community forum on April 10th on the STRIVE Act. The forum will be held at the New Life Church at 330 W. Nebraska St.
Members of the congressional delegation have been invited, and the group is also asking for people to write post cards to their congressional representatives demanding humane […]
A friend of mine who is active with the Samaritan Patrols attended a meeting with the Border Patrol. Someone asked about the buses that transport the detained aliens, and asked if they were given water on the buses, since these guys have just been wandering the desert. They were told that there was no water […]
The sound you hear is prominent Republicans running from their one time best pal, Russell Pearce.
Well, another man running from Pearce is our own Randy Graf. Graf actually had an ad in the can featuring an endorsement from Pearce. Well, any link to the ad has disappeared from the site, but it can still […]
