Wah, Wah, Wah…

Here’s a bit of a follow up to something I wrote last week on a silly letter sent by friends of Lori Oien complaining about Rodney Glassman for, um, going to a bar once or twice I think. After reading this bit on Saturday, I am so glad we didn’t elect Oien to the City […]

One For the “People That Need to Get Over It” File

I caught this over at Blog for Arizona. It seems that Councilmember Rodney Glassman has stepped into a spot of controversy by accepting an invitation to speak at MADD event.

SHAME on YOU MADD Pima County,
As past volunteers/board members, we question the honor of speaker at the annual Candlelight Vigil going to Mr. Rodney […]

Messy Algebra

Something that has been travelling the series of tubes here in Blogistan today is the question of where the candidates would have placed had the Iowa caucasians met in one huge, supermegarepublicrat caucus. It would have looked something like this:

Sen. Barack Obama (D - Illinois) - 89,404
Sen. John Edwards (D - North Carolina) - 70,805
Sen. […]

Ole Ole Ole

I will be out for a few days as I will be travelling to Washington to see the New England Revolution decimate the Houston Dynamo’s vaunted flat back four.
But, fear not! Here are some leavings for you to chew on:

A Thorn to Them, I Guess

One of the things that bothers me about coverage of political stories is the “plague on both their houses” attitude that seems to emerge when there is a negative campaign. This happens whether or not the attacks are substantive, or even whether or not both campaigns are engaged in it.
Take the Rodney Glassman - Lori […]

Hmm…Better Luck Next Time

Wow…I guess the innuendos about Rodney Glassman’s family, e-mailed whispering campaigns and stupid doll stunts worked. They kept his total to less than that all important 61% level.
Good job fellas.

There’s an Elephant in the Room

In a couple of hours, I’ll be going to the election night party that the Democrats are holding. After the last two elections, we Democrats have been treated (and I use the term loosely) to appearances by Republican officials. Both the 2005 and 2006 elections were fantastic nights for Democrats, no doubt they wanted to […]

Last Minute Endorsement

See, when you don’t check your e-mails for a while, you miss out. This was a gem that sat unread in my mailbox since Friday:
Some of you may think this unusual, but I would like you to vote for Beryl Baker in the Ward 1 Tucson City Council election? Let’s talk straight for a moment. […]

Election Day!

Today is election day! Get out there and vote!
Since it is election day, R-Cubed will be engaging in a “news blackout” this morning. This is in the public interest. Either that, or I would have to admit that I have no idea what to write this morning.

Um, Yeah

Every election, there are those “for and against” arguments in the publicity pamphlets that detail the ballot propositions. These are written by folks willing to pay a fee.
Apparently, they are written by anyone willing to pay a fee. For those who missed it, here is one “for” Proposition 200 by Raquel Baranow. I have not […]
