The funniest part of Gabrielle Saucedo Mercer’s response to the kerfuffle over her racist comments in an interview she did for a far right website is her assertion that the video was doctored by Raúl Grijalva’s campaign. It’s funny because the video that’s circulating is the one that was posted by the publication that interviewed [...]

I talked with Al Perry this weekend and he’s gone and done it: he filed to run in the Republican presidential primary. He’s filed as “Allen” Perry, so long time Tucson music fans may not recognize the person who was declared by Dan Stuart to be the “unofficial mayor of Tucson” and who was immortalized [...]

After the jump is today’s press release from the Richard Carmona campaign announcing an endorsement from Former US Senator Dennis DeConcini. Carmona’s operation is being tight lipped about other endorsers, but expect more announcements soon. Tucson City Councilmember Paul Cunningham has been talking Carmona up. Also expect one soon from Councilmember Richard Fimbres and Sheriff [...]

It took our nation of millions 130 years to amend our constitution that many times, it’s only taken Rawson a few months. For those keeping track, Rawson is selling her experience in accounting [...]

One of his more potent arguments revolved around the $935,400 that the committee has shelled out for “administration,” ie – law firms and consultants. Money blown on consultants and law firms? It sounds a [...]
For those that are curious about the lack of breathless updates out of this afternoon’s court proceedings, the hearing on Shaun McClusky’s petitions has been moved to 3:30. Some goofiness ensued yesterday when McClusky and John Munger showed up at the city clerk’s office demanding their petitions back. This is still part of their attempt [...]
Earlier this week, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek got into a bit of hot water for some hyperbolic statements about Barack Obama’s economic policies. This was mere hours after his government was sacked in a no confidence vote, so he might be excused. But, he has been known for his intemperate ways in the past. [...]

Back when I worked in Sam Coppersmith’s campaign, we sent a volunteer to scope out Jon Kyl’s headquarters opening. A few hours later, he came back to report to us on his findings. He was still wearing his name tag: it read “George Costanza.” The guy shouldn’t have used an alias (his idea, not ours), [...]
