First off, any of you guys and gals realize that next week both Jan Brewer and Ken Bennett will be out of the state? Normally I’d be giving a hearty “hip hip hooray” for la Cervecera being out of office, even if it’s temporarily. This time, however, the feeling is tempered by the fact that [...]

All sorts of articles and links I have been meaning to comment on have come over the transom over the last few days. What better way to write a Friday morning post than to summarize…a précis, so to speak. First off, Hispanic Politico had a piece yesterday proclaiming “Tea Party Republican Tom Horne set to [...]
My chief frustration with Mark Stegeman in this whole ethnic studies mess is his assumption that Tom Horne and John Huppenthal have any incentive to act like reasonable people who can be bargained with. So, what we have now is this plan for a “multicultural cirriculum.” They’ve put a first rate guy in charge of [...]
Monday, Speaker Andy Tobin announced that he isn’t going to run for congress. In his press release he talked about work that he’s left undone. Yeah, that’s exactly what the rest of us were afraid of. The budget got signed yesterday has already generated the threat of a lawsuit. It turns out that $50 million [...]
Tom Horne has an interesting defense to charges against him: Felecia Rotellini did it too! Yeah, I know. Cue the allegation that this is politically motivated because Republican elected officials are the most oppressed group in this country. It’s Jim Crow all over again, I tell you. Someone else may or may not have done [...]
Oh what fun, look at the Capitol Times: Federal authorities are investigating Attorney General Tom Horne over allegations that he illegally collaborated with an independent expenditure committee that spent more than a half-million dollars on negative ads against his Democratic opponent in 2010, the Arizona Capitol Times has learned. Apparently the whistle blower on this [...]
Ya know, I was all ready to write a scathing multi-hundred word bat-guano freak out about la Cervecera and her threats to de facto impeach members of the Independent Redistricting Committee for what the ages will refer to as The Horrible Crime Against Ben Quayle. And yep, that should be capitalized. Anyway, I was all [...]

I’ve been wondering for a while when there would finally be some attention paid to Rick Stertz. There have been attacks on IRC chairman Colleen Mathis supposed connections to the Democratic Party that are, at best, tenuous. The press has been more than happy to buy into the partisan attacks on Mathis and the commission [...]

Good to see that Tom Horne is suing to get our state out from under the Voting Rights Act. After all, any objective observer can see that Arizona’s political system is totally free of the stain of racism.
It’s Cinco de Mayo, which is Spanish for the Fourth of July, right? It’s the day we celebrate when Pancho Villa and Montezuma gave Mexico its independence from Texas. I’ve been taking the new Tom Horne and John Huppenthal approved ethnic studies elective. I’m learning all sorts of cool stuff.
