“Former gay”? Did he come out of the closet and admit that since 1994 he’s been hiding his straightness from his gay friends? Did he have a press conference to announce this?
An e-mail came out last night from Jeff Latas. He’s thinking of running for congress now that Gabrielle Giffords is stepping down: In the next few days I expect to see plenty of speculation on what will be a very fast paced campaign and election. The lines will be the old 8th district, giving the [...]

Vic Williams pulled a Baja Arizona version of a full Ginsburg this week: he got the same op-ed published in three places: the Green Valley News, Northwest Explorer and Sonoran Alliance. He is trying a new tack: pretending like the last redistricting, back in 2001, was perfectly well ordered, clean and fair. This is a [...]

Last week, Frank Antenori made one of his inimitable ridiculous statements about his political plans and what is standing in the way of them: that darned Gabrielle Giffords and her recovery from being shot in the head. In case you missed it, here is what he told the AP: You are not going to use [...]

The Yellow Sheet reported on Frank Antenori’s congressional ambitions. That’s no big surprise: his first political foray was in 2006 when he ran in the Republican primary to replace Jim Kolbe, and his name has been on the lips of political mentioners for months. But, what is interesting is what he said of his plans [...]
The man who brought a whole new dimension to the phrase “perennial candidate,” Joe Sweeney, passed away this weekend. I’m not going to pretend for even a minute like he was some political colossus that strode across Southern Arizona or even that he had something valid to contribute to our civic dialogue: the man was [...]

I made a reference the other day to the “Tucson Crazies,” which led to one commenter wanting to know who the heck I was refering to. The “Tucson Crazies” were a group of liberal legislators elected out of Tucson in the 1970′s. It included Bruce Wheeler, Morris Farr, Jo Cauthorn, Lucy Davidson and Sister Clare [...]

The Daily Star had a story this morning that former Rep. Jim Kolbe will be chairing Andre Cherny’s campaign for state treasurer. Keep in mind that Kolbe is the only Republican that has represented Southern Arizona in the US House. In 2006, he all but publicly snubbed Randy Graf, and in 2008 he dropped his [...]
For those that have asked…here is the Arizona delegation’s vote on the “rescue package.” The rescue package…you used to get to buy that for those Adventure People figures, right? Jeff Flake (R – Mesa) – Nay Trent Franks (R – Glendale) – Nay Gabrielle Giffords (D – Tucson) – Aye Raúl Grijalva (D – Tucson) [...]

Of course, this HAS to happen when I am out of town. Thank God for WiFi. According to Bill Hess, Jim Kolbe has withdrawn his support for Tim Bee. Kolbe has not given the reason, but come on, we all know what it is. The knuckledraggers over at Sonoran Alliance will no doubt be celebrating [...]
