Something for procrastinators to think about while doing your taxes this weekend
April 16, 2011
Posted by AzBlueMeanie: You have all heard the Tea-Publican mantra repeated ad nauseam: "We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem." This of course is a lie. They don't want you looking at corporate and wealthy tax cheaters who do not pay taxes. They want you to blame the poor and those receiving government
OK, this is kinda funny
April 15, 2011
by David Safier Tim Steller has a dizzying-but-amusing article in the Star about the $5 million that was supposed to go to Pinal Sheriff Paul Babeu. Let me see if I got this straight. There never was $5 million for Babeu. As the original bill was written, it was supposed to be a sweep from
[Lack of] Election integrity in Wisconsin
April 15, 2011
by David Safier If you've been following the Wisconsin Supreme Court elections, you probably know a whopping 14,000 votes were "discovered" by Kathy Nickolaus in Waukesha County, giving Governor Walker's buddy David Prosser a 7,000 vote lead.

April 15, 2011
Posted by AzBlueMeanie: As I posted the other day, Tea-Publicans 'All In' for Ryan Express Trainwreck: "You want to get crazy? Let's get crazy!"

April 15, 2011
Posted by AzBlueMeanie: The thing that amazes me the most about Arizona's twin embarassments, Sen. Obstruction, Jon Kyl, and Sen.

Tom Coburn: Norquist is “chief cleric of sharia tax law.”
April 15, 2011
by David Safier Wow. I repeat. Wow. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) is so pissed at No New Taxes guru Grover Norquist, Coburn called the guy the "chief cleric of sharia tax law." I thought they reserved that kind of language for Democrats. Do I sense trouble in paradise? Are some conservatives, even those with impeccable
