Whereas we were totally okay with wild intemperance in all these other offices
***I was working on this post before I saw the news that Andy Thomas and Lisa Aubuchon got disbarred. Huzzah! As you were…*** So, Greg Patterson, AKA well-known blogger Espresso Pundit, has been nominated for a spot on the Arizona Board of Regents. This has, understandably, caused garment rending and teeth gnashing in many quarters [...]
But I thought they were all for the individual!
Michael Bryan of Blog for Arizona shares Republican CD8 Congressional candidate Frank Antenori’s statement about how we leftists are ripping people from the bosoms of their families: “The family is the core unit that makes this country great. And if you dismantle it, like the left loves to do—they love to divide and conquer. They [...]
I don’t care why they won’t listen to us.
Will Saletan’s NYT critique of Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion is getting passed around quite a bit among my friends and acquaintances. We liberals find sociological and psychological explorations of those zany conservatives endlessly fascinating and I have no doubt Haidt’s book will be gangbusters with [...]
Of course, the problem is on “both sides”.
AZ Republic Political Insider couldn’t resist the false equivalence in covering yesterday morning’s morning’s press conference at the State Capitol, where Democratic lawmakers called attention to HB2625, the crazy anti-contraception bill that the “pro-life” GOP majority is pushing.

Sen. John McCain is telling the AZ lege to slow their roll on HB2625, the No Slut Pills Unless Your Boss Approves Bill. The GOP-sponsored bill, which would put some women in the uncomfortable position of having to explain to their boss why they use birth control, already passed in the state House of Representatives [...]
Debbie Lesko makes lots of new friends on Facebook
Rep. Debbie Lesko, sponsor of the now-infamous No Slut Pills If Your Boss Doesn’t Approve bill, HB2625, doesn’t care for the criticism she’s getting. She took to Facebook to complain about it. She got tons of feedback! Over 450 comments so far and only 2 in favor. One supporter, former AZ House of Representatives candidate [...]
Well, now we’ve gone and done it. Cathi Herrod is mad at us.
This week’s Center for Arizona Policy “5 Minutes for Families” update features Cathi Herrod in high dudgeon. What a week. I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed such baseless and false attacks on CAP-supported bills as I saw this week. While I understand that it may be more entertaining for some to blatantly lie about [...]
