Tuesday Energy Blogging: My energy is spent.

I worked a poll in Ahwatukee for Dana all day today. She ran a valiant race but, sadly, it wasn’t to be. I’ll post some thoughts on that later but I want to make sure I do my Tuesday duty. So it is with admitted lethargy but earnest enthusiasm for the author and subject that [...]

Hey Sal, you should keep closer tabs on your stooges

I’m not going to link to his site, but there’s a prominent right wing Arizona blogger I like to call Hedda Drudge for his propensity to clutch his pearls in faux outrage over whatever the local GOP honchos want him to.

Scott Wong was on the case this morning being a stooge for presenting Sal DiCiccio’s side of the story after the New Times gave wide exposure to his land leases on the Gila River Indian Community.

Things in Ahwatukee that make you go hmm…

A commenter to Sarah Fenske’s piece in the New Times who calls himself “Ahwatukee” and claims to be a member of the Ahwatukee Village Planning Committee insists that Sal disclosed his land holdings on the Gila River Indian Community at their February meeting. Actually, Donna, I’m on the VPC in Ahwatukee and he came to [...]
