I was corrected by a legislator today when I ribbed him today about the day off he and his colleagues had been given today. I said that they were a bunch of bums. He corrected me and said that they were, in fact, slackers.
They aren’t all taking the day off. Republican leaders are stuck up there […]
Tim Bee is having a fundraiser with new BFF Grover Norquist.
Yep, that Grover Norquist.
For some odd reason, he’s having it up in Phoenix. That’s right, outside of his district. I figure, if this guy is so wonderful, shouldn’t he bring him down here so we all can meet him?
Well, maybe he doesn’t want us to. […]
Three, yes three, seperate people wrote me in response to this morning’s post on the generation gap in voting on prop. 107 back in 2006. That was the last attempt to outlaw gay marriage (actually, it would have had hardly any effect on the already illegal instituition of gay marriage, but would have had a […]
For those of you following the latest hoopla regarding outlawing gay marriage in our great state (shh…don’t tell them it’s already illegal), I ran across an interesting set of statistics.
You can still find some exit poll numbers for 2006’s failed Protect Marriage Arizona effort at CNN’s website. We Grand Canyon State liberals love to point […]
Well, it looks like Tim Bee is able to raise money after all. Good for him, I suppose. Although, as a well known Gabrielle Giffords Yes Man, I’d like to point out that Giffords raised slightly more money than Bee, and still has far more cash on hand than Bee. She’s beating him by more […]
Poking around yesterday, I found out that the Tim Bee ad that I wrote about the other day was paid for by an organization called the Education Finance Reform Group. As Daniel Scarpinato reported in this morning’s Star, this organization is funded by several local school districts to lobby the legislature.
So, why on earth is school district money […]
Okay, check out this ad running now for Tim Bee. You tell me what is missing:
Yep, no disclaimer to tell us who is paying for the darned thing.
I can already see the arguments from the Bee camp:
“Oh, it isn’t a campaign ad. Citizens are just saying, ‘Thank you’ to Tim Bee for supporting education.”
Yeah, right. […]
It looks like Kyrsten Sinema managed to put the kibosh to the plans that top Republicans had to put gay marriage on the ballot again.
How’d she do it? Well, by amending the bill to codify protections for domestic partners. Protections which, by the way, polling shows a majority of Arizonans would be in support of.
Sinema […]
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 […]
Steve Emerine is a frequent reader of this here blog, and he also sends me copies of his columns for Inside Tucson Business. In a column printed on Friday, he went off on local leaders who he thinks are ignoring the economic downturn. Some of it (like his attack on Tim Bee for focusing on […]
