They are Fast and Furious with the red herring. And that’s too bad.
I get regular email updates from several GOP politicians in Arizona, including my own Representative Ben Quayle. Earlier this afternoon I received a mass email from him demanding US Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation for “the Fast and Furious debacle”. After questioning the attorney general and listening to his responses during the December 8 Judiciary [...]
My response to Rodney Glassman’s op-ed: How about we do both?
I have to disagree with Rodney Glassman’s Republic op-ed this morning. I applaud his intentions but I just can’t get with him on this. A week ago, I awoke to a passionate e-mail from a public official who was circulating a petition addressed to the Pima County Republican Party about its recent gun auction. Once [...]
Step away from the blogs, Obama people
Hey all. Hope y’all had a good Labor Day weekend engaging in whatever commie socialist recreational activities you prefer.

Brewer book co-writer: “Single Women as a Threat to Freedom”

Channel 12 Lunchcast debate. Ain’t no “austerity” in “prosperity”.
I was with Shane Wikfors (who was recently hired to be the AZ GOP Communications Director) to discuss the debt ceiling deal today. EDIT: By some mistake of divine provenance I linked to a clip of our lovely and courageous Rep. Gabby Giffords. I’ll leave it up. Here’s the debate clip: It’s a really quick [...]
A concise and useful analysis of ALEC’s influence in Arizona
From AFSCME Local 3111 President Sheri Van Horsen: I have compared recent legislation and the agenda pushed by ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) – when and where I can get it published in the newspapers, who can say. I will certainly try to get the information out there, as all Arizonans need to know just [...]
How not to report on Birtherism
First, there’s the headline: “Obama’s birth certificate doesn’t end speculation” I realize reporters don’t usually pick headlines so I’m not faulting writer MaryEllen Resendez for that but this lede suggests that the post birth certificate release speculation is reasonable and not pure and utter racist batshittery, not to mention moving goalposts. But I’d be willing [...]
