Even as a supporter of Janet Napolitano, one of the things that bothered me during her reign was her relationship with Joe Arpaio. Arpaio was muted in his criticism of Napolitano (sometimes joking that this was some form of Italian-American solidarity) and Napolitano seemed to return the favor.
Now that she is in higher office and, [...]
After the jump is a letter signed by several elected officials to Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.
Let me get this right: if we stop teaching English to immigrants, MS-13 will pack up and go home.
Geez, Clarence, when did you decide to go all Arpaio on us?
The one bright spot is this:
We are not going into classrooms, into schools looking for illegal students. I find that thought repugnant and repulsive. We will [...]
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 [...]
