Former Rep. Daniel Patterson has made his choices in the upcoming primary and put him up on his blog. Some of the choices are odd given Patterson’s politics (Ron Gould?). Oddly, Three Sonorans is not bragging about Patterson’s endorsement of Wenona Benally-Baldenegro. The most notable one is his endorsement of conservative Democrat Ken Cheuvront over [...]

I didn’t have a chance to follow the hearings on the anti-labor bills yesterday, but one actuality they played on KUAZ amused me. It was from Sen. Ron Gould, who claimed that the bills are actually not anti-union. Yes, because Arizona Republicans would never do anything against organized labor. Anyhow, the Pima Area Labor Federation [...]

The ethics hearing into Scott Bundgaard is scheduled today, but there may be a bit of a snag. As it turns out, according to the Capitol Times, David Schapira is scheduled to be out of town. This led to a scathing post from David Morales over at Three Sonorans attacking Schapira for abandoning the hearing [...]
Now, Scott Bundgaard is claiming that Aubry Ballard pulled a gun on him. Okay, but you’d think that a fact like this would have made the police report, especially given that one of the witnesses was an off duty officer. Unless… The Phoenix Police Department is obviously part of the Grand Liberal Conspiracy that has [...]
Note to conservative activists: when celebrating the apparent victory of Scott Bundgaard, Charlie Sheen references are a really bad idea. In other news, ethics committee chairman Ron Gould (who I give a lot of stick to, but has been right on this one) hinted to the Capitol Times that he might be removed before he [...]

Fresh from today’s hearing on the latest anti-14th Amendment bill, Ron Gould responding to Paula Aboud’s inquiry about the bill’s effect on dual citizens: Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, dual citizenship does not exist. Here’s what the US State Department has to say about that: The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but [...]

Being a comic book geek, I’ve been thinking of the Marvel Comics villain the Absorbing Man. I think that guy was killed a half dozen times in his late seventies heyday, but somehow managed to reassemble himself and taunt the heroes of Stan Lee’s version of Manhattan over and over again. As expected, Marszałek Senatu [...]
This is from yesterday’s Yellow Sheet, quoting “a person with decidedly Republican ties” (probably not Hart Schaffner Marx ties, anything with the word Marx in it couldn’t be Republican, could it?): The Senate Republican caucus is dysfunctional. Despite his 21 years of legislative experience, Bob Burns has been a disaster as President. His consistent inability [...]
This from Jennifer Loredo’s legislative update done on behalf of the Arizona Education Association: Budget Update- Monday at 11:45 The Senate Appropriations Committee started at 11:15 (it was set to begin at 9:30). The committee heard the first bill (the general appropriations bill/aka the “money bill”). The only members in the committee were the seven [...]
The new meme among Republicans is that the current budget mess is all the fault of Janet Napolitano. Here’s Randy Pullen: This crisis is the legacy of Janet Napolitano. The days of runaway spending and big government are over here in Arizona, as are the days of rainbow revenue projections. I’ll let you sit back [...]
