Democratic Diva

Seriously, he is.  Despite his protestations, in numerous ads that are polluting my TV viewing, about how Arpaio’s such a mensch who is saving taxpayer dollars through his thrifty tent gulags and he saves cute puppies too(!), the fact is that he is out of compliance with the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and they […]

I have actually had a few people ask me how to vote on the ballot initiatives. My recommendation is always to go and read all the info and make an informed choice.

Ok, not really, but I am expecting some kind of disaster to happen in Alaska, maybe Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning, because the McCain campaign is that desperate to get Palin out of Thursday’s debate.

Okay, I didn’t see that debate.  I was in South Tempe, watching the LD20 Clean Elections Debate.  Which bears little resemblence to a debate, even the watered-down soundbite format that constitutes the Presidential ones nowadays.  It’s a forum, where each candidate gets 2 minutes to answer the same question.  Typically, the moderators are careful to […]
