Well, well, well, what have we here?
First off, let me make a slight correction to yesterday’s post. It wasn’t Wes Gullett’s campaign itself that sent out the offensive mailer suggesting that being endorsed by a LGBT organization was a bad thing. It was those class acts and princes among men over at the AZ GOP who were responsible for it. As [...]
Republican thinking explained via Venn Diagram
The Greg Stanton camp and Equality Arizona have denounced Wes Gullett’s campaign, and rightly so, for sending out a flyer only mentioning two of the many groups endorsing Stanton for Mayor of Phoenix – the AFL-CIO and Equality Arizona – and suggesting that those two endorsements make him unfit for office. Dear Donna When my [...]
What a guy
The AZ Board of Regents has a new member. Governor Jan Brewer announced the appointment of Jay Heiler to the Board on Wednesday, saying “Jay’s extensive leadership in education, business, government and strategic planning makes him uniquely qualified to serve in this role helping direct the future of higher education in Arizona.” Uniquely qualified.

Goldwater Institute “impact on liberty” legislative report card ignores women’s and LGBT rights, shockingly.
Yes, of course. Engaged citizens make for good governments.

The result is a citizen-friendly tool for evaluating legislators’ votes against a simple, important standard: their impact on liberty. [...]

The effort to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples will have an unprecedented effect on religious freedom. Those who don’t believe that don’t understand the nature [...]
You think you know your neighbors.
Gilbert, Arizona. Home to thousands of homogeneous beige McMansions. And the Cosmo Dog Park, which has been recognized by Dog Fancy as a top destination for pooches to frolic. Twice. And it’s been recognized by the Audobon Society as an “important bird area” for it’s Riparian Water Preserve at Water Ranch. Nice. It’s also home [...]
Cathi Herrod has big plans for us in ’12
Yes, indeed. The Colorado Independent reports that the Family Policy Council, the political arm of evangelical behemoth Focus on the Family, has launched a multi-state effort to attack LGBT and reproductive rights in the 2012 campaign season. Naturally GOP politicians are pleased as punch at this since it’s electoral catnip for them. The campaign, which [...]
