In Defense of Jon Kyl
Hey, Jon Kyl is right.
These unemployed people should have had the initiative and foresight to be born the son of a congressman like he was.

Nuklo Berserk!
So, our Senators, particularly Jon Kyl, have been throwing the term “Nuclear Option” around when discussing the horribly undemocratic concept of having something pass by majority vote. If having to get 51 votes for something to pass is the equivalent of levelling a city, what does it mean when one guy has a fit of [...]

Vox Populi
The R Cubed electronic mailroom recieved this epistle from a frequent reader and commenter. One edit made for profanity. This is a family blog:
So, unless the US Senate acts by Sunday, 82,000 Arizonans on long-term unemployment will lose their weekly benefits. They’ll be left with nothing. Zip. Nada.
Harry Reid tried to move a simple [...]

Which Makes One Wonder What He Was Doing Between 1995 and 2007…
I’ve been hearing Jon Kyl’s handwringing over the last few days about reconciliation and his fulminations that such a thing is unprecedented. I know, think of it, the Senate passes a bill by a majority vote: The Horror!
I can only think of one possible explanation: Kyl’s knowledge of Senate history starts in January of 2007. [...]

It’s Cabinet Week In the Old Pueblo
Yesterday, Raúl Grijalva brought Labor Secretary Hilda Solís to town to tour the Kino Teen Center and Las Artes, and tomorrow, both Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords will be hosting Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Is it just me, or does that name conjure up images of a cowled pirate from a 70’s cartoon?
LaHood, Grijalva, Giffords and Mayor [...]

Kyl Has Soooo Much Room to Talk
Jon Kyl had the typical handwringing comments about Harry Reid’s dumbass statements about Barack Obama’s candidacy. The DNC sent out a press release zinging Kyl for himself making dismissive statements about Arizona’s Martin Luther King Jr. Holliday as well as statements justifying Trent Lott’s praises of Strom Thurmond’s racist 1948 presidential campaign.
But, -sigh- they missed [...]

What Is Up With Our Senate Delegation?
Jon Kyl has gotten what can be called “unwated attention” for his recent dismissive comments about women’s health care. Now, some have been scrutinizing his full record on women’s issues and he’s, well, a bit lacking.
Now comes news that John McCain is campaigning for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell. Yeah, McCain campainging for Republicans doesn’t [...]

Heat on Kyl
Here’s the ad that the DNC is running in Arizona:
Those of you in Phoenix have a chance to make your views known. A demonstration is planned today at Jon Kyl’s office at 2200 East Camelback at 1:00 PM.

The Week in Hyberbole
There was a lot made of Trent Franks calling Barack Obama an “enemy of humanity” in the liberal blogosphere. But, that doesn’t worry me nearly as much as both of our Senators saber rattling and calling for “regime change” in Iran (here and here).
Hey, I don’t like the folks that run Iran either, but we [...]
