A mild-mannered reader of this here blog pointed out to me that Rob O’Dell said that Karin Uhlich won her council race by 195 votes.
The figure, according to the City Clerk and quoted by other reporters at the Star, is 175.
The inflation of Uhlich’s victory by twenty votes from what otherwise would be a razor [...]
For the last couple of years, it seems that any problem with Rio Nuevo or Downtown development has been heralded by an above the fold, front page story in the Star. So, you’d think that yesterday’s announcement that the final bit of money for a streetcar system would be similarly heralded as a success. After [...]
Laurie Roberts had a piece on the Republic’s website with the headline that screamed “Dems Smear Paton with B Word.”
Hmm. The “B” word? What was this horrible accusation that Democrats “smeared” Paton with? “Smear” usually denotes something horrible…what was this “smear”? Battery? Bipolar? Beastiality?
Nope…it’s “Bush.”
Yep, this “smear” that Roberts is refering to is a state [...]

Working at the Capitol Times as editor of the Yellow Sheet has been an amazing experience. Today, I embark on a new opportunity: Director of Communications for Jonathan Paton’s bid for U.S. Congress in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District.

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 [...]
Lou Dobbs claimed that anti-immigration activists took potshots at his house, a claim that was not taken seriously by local police, especially since hunters frequent the rural area where Dobbs lives.
Now Joe Arpaio has jumped on the bandwagon, claiming that he is so startled by this incident that he is reviewing his own security. Of [...]
A source told me to expect one big name to take their buyout and announce their resignation from the Star today.
Geez.
Over at Blog for Arizona, David Safier takes down the Star for its anemic coverage of the President’s speech last night. I’m here to pile on.
Something that Safier only tangentially notes is that both of the Star’s articles can be found elsewhere: one was from the New York Times (cue the angry Pace cowboys) and [...]
My Nana became fascinated by the 1999 Women’s World Cup. She told everyone in the family that she always liked soccer, which came as a great surprise to all of us that had never heard her voice any sort of interest in the sport before. Even though she was born in Mexico, she was from [...]
Hat tip to Jim Nintzel and Dan Shearer for this one. Here is Shearer on his blog for the Green Valley News:
I went to Jesse Kelly’s Web site on Monday and found a short clip from my appearance Aug. 14 on PBS’ “Arizona Illustrated” . In short, I talked about how Kelly had been in [...]
