On the Upside, Pastry for Everyone!

A correspondent sent me a link to this post, which talks about the possibility of Fife Symington running for public office and makes reference to an odd incident where he may just have met the wife of the new Japanese Prime Minister.
Some of you may remember that Symington made noise in 2006 about a comeback. [...]

To Spite Their Faces…

So, on Saturday I was talking to Terry Goddard and Bruce Babbitt. I bring this up because one benefit of this blog is it gives me the chance to name drop once in a while. Okay, more than once in a while. I mean, aren’t you impressed by all the important people I run with?
Anyhow, [...]

Full Court Word Press

A couple of days ago, Jimmy Boegle at the Weekly poked fun at the Tucson Citizen for putting together their site using free Word Press software. What was worse was that they used the absolute barest generic “template,” the one that many of you may remember as the spartan blue screen that this blog would [...]

Come On Greg, Really?

Earlier this week, I was going to write a post about Greg Patterson’s laughable assertion that Bob Grossfeld, a man who worked on the gubernatorial campaigns of Paul Johnson and served as head of the Arizona DLC, was a “a hard left Democratic operative by anyone’s definition.” But, I put it off and now [...]

Hohokam?

Wow. This from Heat City:
Readers of the Phoenix area’s No. 2 newspaper were stopped dead in their Internet tracks briefly today when they tried to go to eastvalleytribune.com and found the website had disappeared.
Apparently this is due to an oversight, but it doesn’t bode well for what is left of the Tribune.

Hey, He Talks Pretty Good for a Tory

It really disturbs me how often I end up agreeing with Andrew Sullivan. They may need to send me to one of those re-education camps Michelle Bachmann keeps warning us about. Here is what he wrote this morning on the tea bag rallies:
They’re absolutely right to be alarmed about the deficits and debt. But the [...]

Letter From Afghanistan

People always ask me about the folks who sign on here. There are a few of you, maybe half a dozen or so, that I know who you are even with the aliases. Most of the time, it is because that person told me “Oh, by the way, I post as such and such on [...]

Too Clever

There is a thing occasionally called “hard linking” that is frowned upon by “Netiquitte” mavens. This is when a blogger or someone else wants to use a picture on a website and instead of uploading their own picture, they instead put a piece of code that accesses that picture from another website. At the least [...]

Linkin’ Blogs

I’ve updated the sidebar to include the blogs now being run by the District 26 and District 30 Democrats. District 26’s blog is edited by Sandra Spangler, while District 30’s blog is edited by Mark Kerr.
I’ve also added the Tucson Observer’s blog, which is also under the direction of Kerr.

Wherein We Liberals Once Again Conspire to Influence the Results of an Election

Chris Cillizza is once again running a “Best State Blogs” survey. He is, for the second year in a row, basing this on the opinions of his readers. If you wish to, say, vote for a certain blog with a three word title, you simply make a post in the comments section of his blog.
Yes, [...]
