It seems that the notion of a special session is falling apart. The strategy of allowing cuts to go through with the vague promise of a special session later to handle revenue (a tactic either inspired by J. Wellington Wimpy or Satipo from Raiders of the Lost Ark) didn’t work that well for la Cervecera.

Once in a while, I pop over to Jason Rose’s Twitter feed. Many of his latest epistles are going after Jan Brewer’s ties to the payday loan industry.
It’s funny to watch Rose, with his innumerable fingers in the punch bowl, going after a candidate because of the ties of her consultants. Given how much money [...]
I heard that Jan Brewer was in DC for the lighting of the National Christmas Tree, which came from our state.
Here I thought she’d wait for the next special session to start before leaving the state.
Previous attempts to write and/or fix the budget during La Cervecera’s reign have “blown up” when she tried to tie spending cuts to new taxes. So, the idea went, why not break those up? Last week’s special session was to make cuts, revenues to be discussed at some future time, possibly in another special session.
Why [...]
Ah, the payday lenders are at it again. Last year, y’all remember that despite a well-financed campaign, their attempt to change the laws to keep their doors open failed at the ballot box 41-59. Now, they have brought on Doug Cole, Chuck Coughlin and Grant Woods on board to lobby the legislature. If they are [...]
So, which bleeding heart, fiscally irresponsible Democratic legislator said this?
…a fatally flawed legislative budget. The legislative budget ignores my consistently expressed goals and instead incorporates devastating cuts to education, public safety, and our state’s most vital health services for the frail. In particular, this package of bills is shortsighted, in that it sets up an [...]
We here at R-Cubed are deeply, deeply sorry for mischaracterizing Jan Brewer’s actions during our very special session. She may have missed out on the entirety of the meetings this week due to her crucially necessary presence at the Republican Governors Association meeting, but she showed us the sort of stuff she was made out [...]
The folks at the Yellow Sheet decided to take on the Democratic Party for, it seems, a press release that the party sent a year and a half ago.
You may recall that during the heady days of the 2008 campaign, Tim Bee brought George W. Bush to Tucson for a fundraiser for his run for [...]
La Cervecera on Terry Goddard, as quoted in the Arizona Daily Star:
It’s easy to be a Saturday night quarterback.
I realize I spend my sports-watching hours following the other kind of football, but isn’t the phrase “Monday Morning Quarterback”? I mean, teams play on Saturday nights, right?
A certain Samuel Pearson Goddard III, also known by the alias “Terry,” has filed an exploratory run for governor. The web page for his explorations is up too.
Since everyone knew this would happen, it is my job to make this interesting by harping on some minor facts.
Goddard’s campaign chairwoman is former Arizona Cantaloupe Queens pitcher [...]
