A New Settlement in Blogistán Izquierda

I got a nice note from the purveyor of a new liberal blog, AZ Left. I’ve added it to the blogroll.
The boys at Red State Arizona have a piece on AZ Left where they say that it will make this here blog and Blog for Arizona look moderate. Possible with me, but Blog for Arizona? Heck, “Big […]

You Read it Here First

When I was working at KAMP, we had a couple of hipper-than-thous who would always try to out do you on the latest bands. You’d come in with some CD you had bought and say, “Hey, I just found these guys, and they are great.” Sure enough, some jackass with a Descendants tee-shirt would come back […]

Sydney Hay It Is!

What, an anouncement on Friday? Naw…Monday? Hey, it’s Tuesday…
The new word on the street (because, as Howard Devoto said, I am the street where you live) is that Ken Bennett will not run for congress. Heck, he already was a senator and a president, why would he want to settle for representative now?
The talk is […]

Sounds Like a Fantastic Idea!

The announcement was supposed to be Friday, but folks were actually expecting it today. That’s right, Ken Bennett will be back in the race for congressional district 1. As we all know, CD 1 is the size of Pennsylvania.
The story goes that the mahouts have been talking to Bennett for a couple of weeks. When […]

Wow, That Made It Easy

The Yellow Sheet reported that Kris Mayes has decided against running for congress. Does this mean that her time working for Janet Napolitano gets re-inserted in her resume?
This leaves the Republicans’ “top” candidate mining lobbyist and knuckle-dragger Sidney Hay, who has already promised to be as good as Rick Renzi. For those who don’t have a […]

Finance Update

The first quarter is over, so this is the time that the various campaigns spin how wonderful or gawdawful their fundraising was in anticipation of the official numbers that will come out in a few weeks.
According to R-Cubed’s crack research team (yes, they are on crack), the only one to have filed their official report already […]

Yeah, I Remember That Cartoon. I Still Don’t Get Why the Orangutan Talked Like Edward G. Robinson, Though…

I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]

Rick Renzi and the Failure of the Establishment

Back in 1997, I happened to be doing an off-site project for the company I was working for. This meant I spent the summer in Phoenix, where I learned that summers can, in fact, be worse than they are in Tucson.
So I was up there the day that J. Fife Symington III was convicted of […]

Aspiring New Captain of the Titanic Promises a Stay of Course

I want to demonstrate my commitment to maintaining the same level of availability that Congressman [Rick] Renzi provided to the citizens of eastern Arizona.
Sydney Hay to a meeting of the Graham County Republicans February 12th, Reported by the Eastern Arizona Courier February 25th.
To be fair to Hay, which is difficult for me, she said this […]

Curse You, NPR!

So, I was listening to NPR on Friday, and they are running a story on Rick Renzi. Then they interview a blogger…and it’s Greg Patterson.
Sheesh. Hey guys, who has been talking about this thing since October of 2006?
I’m hurt in ways I can’t even describe.
