Arizona Republic bashes unions on Labor Day weekend

Classy. I guess for the encore we can expect an editorial criticizing military benefits on Veterans Day. Today’s editorial was basically the Republic repeating Arizona GOP talking points about unions and Democrats. I suppose they didn’t want it to be too obvious so they added a lugubrious dose of concern trolling about low wage workers [...]

U.S. Chamber files brief in opposition to AZ employer sanctions law. Well, isn’t that special.

Today’s Yellow Sheet announced that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a 71 page brief challenging the 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act. The sanctions law has been upheld in appeals so far but the Low Taxes and Cheap Labor for the Rich Lobby Chamber really, really wants to get the law before the Supreme Court [...]

With all due respect to Terry, one debate was enough.

I don’t blame Terry Goddard for challenging Jan Brewer to a series of debates but I don’t see the point. If Brewer agreed to another debate it immediately sets up the IOKIYAR Lowered Expectations Mulligan. You know what I’m talking about: When a Republican faceplants in a debate, because he/she is a Republican everyone decides [...]

Democratic primaries

I’m not going to endorse or prognosticate about tomorrow. You may have noticed that I don’t say much about the Democratic primary races in Arizona. I definitely have my favorites but I’ve rarely felt a compelling reason to weigh in on a primary candidate in my blog posts because, for the most part, I’m pleased [...]

Brahm Resnik can’t quit me! I’m on Sunday Square Off again this week. Plus, a Jailbreak Jan related action item.

I’m on the panel with Greg Patterson and Stan Barnes. Yeah, I know, 2 against 1, but it’s mostly about the GOP primaries since so many of them are trainwrecks. As a voter in CD3, I know I’m going to miss the 10 candidate clown car that is the Republican slate. I’m rooting for Brock [...]
