Mitchell Hacked!

Shortly after the State of the Union address, several congressional web sites apparently attacked by Brazillian hackers. Among the group of 26 members of the house whose sites were hacked was our own Harry Mitchell. According to the site Praetorian Prefect (Ford’s brother, I guess), the sites were hacked by a group called Red Eye [...]

Gratuitous Soccer Reference

As it happens, there was a resolution in the United States House of Representatives honoring Real Salt Lake for winning MLS Cup this year over the Los Angeles Galaxy.

A Far Cry from Kirk Douglas

Readers will remember that Ben Beuhler-García ran an ad that mirrored an ad that Bill Richardson ran during his presidential run. It is helpful to remember that neither Beuhler-García nor Richardson won.

Lazy Posting: National Journal Liberal/Conservative Ratings

The National Journal has released their 2008 Vote Ratings. The results are really no surprise, but after the jump are the ratings for the Arizona delegation, broken up by “issue categories”. I’ll post the Senate ratings later.

Before You Pick Up a Rock, Those Walls Aren’t Lucite

Greg Patterson used one of my posts to crow about how we Democrats are in dissarray, figuring I suppose that this means that the State Republican Party under Randy Pullen is a well oiled political machine that rivals the old Federal Ring in its grip over the civic life in our state.

That’s the Sort of Confidence that Inspires…

David Schweikert as quoted in The Yellow Sheet:
We may be struggling, but at the same time, we may get him.
“Struggling,” “May get him”? Anyone remember hearing from overconfident Republican mahouts that Harry Mitchell was a sure one termer?
