More Unsolicited Advice

The other day, I gave y’all the gory details of the arguments given to the Bond Committee in defense of Rillito Downs Racetrack as a case study in how not to make a decent argument.
Here’s another one from Saturday’s State Party Meeting in Phoenix. The lesson: have a vague idea who the heck you are […]

Apropos of Nothing, But Hey…

Okay, here’s something vaguely disturbing for all y’alls.
Go ahead…do a Google image search on the name Raul Grijalva. Do it now; I’ll wait.
(cue Jeopardy theme)
Check out that fourth picture.
Yep. That’s me at the fan tournament at MLS Cup in Dallas back in 2005. The picture was taken by a Cambridge resident by the name of […]

What Next?

The talk is that after the South Carolina primary, John Edwards will not drop out. Instead, it is expected that he will release his endorsers from their obligations.
Locally, Edwards biggest booster is Raúl Grijalva. Should Grijalva be “released,” it is expected that he will endorse Barack Obama. Being able to use Grijalva’s considerable grass roots […]

Well, today […]

Nice Try, Guys, Come Back Later When You Have Something, You Know, Substantitive

I recieved a nice note from Gene Chewning:
Hola Señor Tedski,
Greetings, nice play on words with my name. I don’t believe that that have been done since I was a kid in school. Yes, I have filed with the FEC but not yet financially as this is my first quarter. I am honored to have made […]

Chewning Up Political Scenery

A correspondent reported to me this morning that they saw an ad for Gene Chewning, who apparently wants to run for congress against Raúl Grijalva. Chewning, you may remember, was the candidate who came about 10,000 votes short of beating Phil Lopes in the 2006 election. This would be impressive except that only about 35,000 […]

Everyone Gets Those Squarish States Confused

So, my mom is watching C-SPAN the other day (yes, she’s one of THOSE), and she sees one of these endless motions to recommit or some such thing. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was elsewhere, so the chamber was presided over by Tammy Baldwin.
“The gentleman from New Mexico, you have two minutes…the gentleman from New Mexico…the gentleman […]

STRIVE Act Meeting

Chicago congressman Luis Gutierrez visisted Tucson yesterday for a community meeting organized by Raúl Grijalva. The topic of the meeting was the STRIVE Act, sponsored by Gutierrez and Jeff Flake, and supported by Grijalva.
The public that showed up took up all the seats set up in the gymnasium at the El Pueblo Neighborhood center. The […]

Grijalva, Giffords Host Border and Immigration Confabs

Gabrielle Giffords is hosting a border security summit in Douglas today. This comes on the heels of the recent drug-related violence in Cananea. The summit will be at the Douglas Visitors Center, 345 16th Street. That’s sixteen blocks from the border for those of you that are counting.
The invitees include law enforcement officials as well as […]

Thursday

Word from Raúl Grijalva’s office is that the segment he taped last week will be on the Colbert Report this Thursday night.
No word on whether the dancing muchachos will be there.
