Just a folksy little grassroots organization.
That’s what you’d think from reading the Republic piece on the Center for Arizona Policy today.
“There was concern about how public policy impacts families,” said Cathi Herrod, who joined the group a couple of years later and is now president. “We were seeing a need to have someone on-site at the Legislature on [...]
Russell Pearce hates (illegal) immigrants. Except when they want to buy guns.
So Russell Pearce has a bill, SB1102, that will get rid of concealed carry permits. We don’t need ‘em, cuz only the good guys get them anyway. Sen. Ken Cheuvront was successful in amending the bill to establish felony charges for selling or transferring firearms at a gun show without requiring buyers to prove they are [...]
Pre-SOTU digest. Got a lot on my mind today.
WordPress doesn’t like me today.
Not only have two of my comments to Tedski’s blog been disappeared, but my response to Timmy’s Cat’s comment on last night’s post got eated too. It’s completely gone. Doesn’t even show up as spam. Whither my comments, WordPress?

Gee, what could have prompted that?
Burges said the measure is not necessarily about Obama, though she admitted she doubts he was born in Hawaii as [...]
“Why do left wingers constantly promote class warfare?”
That was a question put to me by a commenter who disagreed with me about the faux-populism of conservative “heroes” like Glenn Beck and Joe Arpaio.
Last night Mark and I finally got around to seeing Capitalism: A Love Story. It was good but I have to admit that, for me, it [...]
America’s Dis-honestest Sheriff
It’s not like I’m surprised or anything that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio thinks he’s above the law, or that he likes being in the spotlight (refraining from other possible word choices here).
