I was corrected by a legislator today when I ribbed him today about the day off he and his colleagues had been given today. I said that they were a bunch of bums. He corrected me and said that they were, in fact, slackers.
They aren’t all taking the day off. Republican leaders are stuck up there […]
After reading this about Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist Mark Penn, there are some other bits of advice that he might need before embarking on his next competitive endeavor:
Those pieces that look like horses can jump over other pieces
A flush beats a straight
The goalkeeper can use his hands
You can’t strike out on a foul
Those big dots […]
Sam George, one of our Corporation Commission candidates, made the rounds at the State Democratic Party meeting Saturday. I neglected to ask him if he was the same Sam George who started ten games for the New England Revolution in 1997 and scored one goal before being traded to the Tampa Bay Mutiny for Ivan McKinley (or […]
Here’s some unsolicited advice for y’all if you are not trying to construct a coherent argument:

When you realize that that argument isn’t working, switch to the argument that the local soccer community is not interested in coaching poor kids. […]
As many of you know, I sit on the Pima County Bond Committee. You are no doubt aware of the hubub regarding Rillito Downs race track.
Former Pima County Supervisor Ed Moore is threatening to sue. Long time Pima County residents will remember bumper stickers that appeared in the late 1980’s that said “I’ve been sued […]
I’d like to inform the folks who keep pushing for this “Super Delegate Caucus” that we actually already have one. It will be held in Denver this August and the votes will be binding. Maybe y’all have heard of it?
I was going to avoid writing about this thing, but the idea seems to keep getting […]
I used to be on an indoor soccer team in an over-30 league. Things went okay, until the league was changed to a regular adult league. All of a sudden, we were playing younger teams. We managed to get some younger players on our team too, but it didn’t do much good. We’d lose game […]
I’m hearing the budget proposal refered to as the Burns-Pearce bill. You guys messed this up. If you wanted to do a tribute to M*A*S*H, at least spell Captain Pierce’s name correctly.
Sheesh.
Wait, someone just told me that the “Pearce” is refering to Russell Pearce. First of all, it is still spelled wrong, secondly Rusty Pierce […]
You can, and should, check out the details of Russell Pearce’s proposed state budget cuts over at the Children’s Action Alliance site. The cuts include making over 19,000 children inelligible for KidsCare, eliminating substance abuse treatment and eliminating nearly $90,000,000 in funding for facility maintenance and construction for schools. Actually, it is a moratorium on school construction, […]
My brother’s guest in the gallery for the opening day of the legislature tommorrow will be Nick Luca. Luca is a local musician who recently came back from touring to find that he had undiagnosed diabetes, and all the problems attendant with that. He was hospitalized, and seems to be doing okay now. But, because of […]
