First off, I’d like to give Rush Limbaugh a bit of help. Apparently, he can’t tell the difference between Antonio Villaraigosa and a “shoeshine guy.” That’s right, a well dressed, successful Latino looks just like a “shoeshine guy.” Far be it from me to accuse Limbaugh of racism, I mean, I keep hearing from folks on the […]
I spotted Steve Owens at the State Committee meeting last week. He was one of four possible candidates for Congressional District 1 that was there, or at least had some sort of presence.
Owens is still seriously considering a go at the race. He thinks that he still has time to make a decision and is […]
After the last election, you’d often hear near cackling from Republicans about how Harry Mitchell was some one-term fluke, destined to join the ranks of Sam Coppersmith, Karan English and Jim McNulty as Democratic one-term wonders. (The wonders don’t care, we don’t give a damn…) We heard how a Republican, any Republican, would run over […]
A bit of controversy this morning as Mitt Romney kicked off his presidential campaign at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Some Jewish groups and writers don’t like the symbolism of Romney announcing at a place dedicated to a person that some call “America’s greatest anti-semite.”
Come on fellas, calm down. This isn’t like Ronald […]
Out with the old and in with the new (which as long-time Tucson music fans know, is the B-Side of Gila Bend’s single “Cantankerous”): J. D. Hayworth’s creepy talking website is down. Jim Kolbe’s website is now just a memory. One can always check the Wayback Machine and see Kolbe’s pages from those thrilling days […]
Last year, I published a top ten list of folks who had been mentioned on my blog. I’d be remiss if I didn’t do that for 2006 as well:
Rep.-elect Gabrielle Giffords - 92 mentions
Rep. Randy Graf - 85 mentions
Gov. Janet Napolitano - 67 mentions
Rep. Raúl Grijalva - 67 mentions
Sen. Jon Kyl - 65 mentions
Patty Weiss […]
There are a few, believe it or not, Republican activists and poohbahs that talk to me. One thing that I’m hearing from a few of them is that the CD 8 and CD 5 seats will be easilly retaken by them.
I don’t think it will be that easy in either race, but please guys, keep […]
As much fun as I’ve had poking at the Republicans, there is a race for Party Chair on our side too.
The last two years have seen three, yes three, State Democratic Party Chairs. Jim Pederson resigned to run for US Senate, his replacement Harry Mitchell resigned to run for US House. Mitchell was replaced with […]
Some of you may be familiar with the lottery system for congressional offices. Before each new congress, offices that have been vacated by retiring or defeated members are put into a pool, and other members get those offices based on seniority and, in the case of ties, a lottery. Offices vacated by members moving up […]
Word from DC (not the comic company) is that Steny Hoyer has defeated John Murtha for majority leader.
Since I strive to find local connections, Hoyer got into a shoving match with our own J. D. Hayworth a few years back. I don’t know who actually came out on top there, but suffice it to say […]
