The Tucson Citizen used to have an editor named Peter Bronson. His editorials were usually in that faux populist territory now also occupied by Bill O’Reilly and company. The thesis espoused in every one of his pieces was “Democrats are effete know it alls, as opposed to Republicans who are all working stiffs that throw […]
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 […]
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 […]
Slowly (too slowly, but what can you do?) some national news outlets are starting to take a look at John McCain’s backroom deals. Check out this piece run in the New York Times this morning about McCain’s relationship with local land razer Don Diamond. Thankfully, they did not allege an affair in this case.
Our boy Ray Carroll […]
Wow, John McCain has this innovative proposal for a “gas tax holiday.” Yeah, he understands economics (and, as the son of an admiral and husband of an heiress, he certainly understands the plight of the working man more than that Barack Obama).
John, you let those lefty yahoos go on about how the gas tax represents […]
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 […]
Well, I guess I can’t complain about John McCain having lobbyists work his campaign anymore since Charlie Black is taking a leave of absence from his firm to work full time on the campaign. I guess that means that Black will no longer be making lobbying calls from the Straight Talk Express. Carping lefties like […]
The other day, I wrote a post where I said that despite John McCain’s personal popularity, local Republicans still seem to be in trouble. At least one poster questioned my sanity when I said that Bob Lord seems to have a chance against John Shadegg, despite the overwhelming Republican registration in the district. He even accused […]
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 […]
I caught a snippet from John McCain’s speech to the Center for National Policy, a socially conservative think tank. He is still trying to reassure social conservatives that he is one of them. One of the things he brought up was that he led an effort to amend the Arizona Constitution to ban gay marriage.
