Roy Warden Rides Again
Roy Warden, the anti-immigrationist who burns Mexican flags (an activity which I think is rather stupid, but I none-the-less recognize as being constitutionally protected symbolic speech), will be holding a new First Amendment fest next week on Aug. 17th at 6pm in Armoury Park. I won’t be able to make it, but if anyone wants … Read more
TerrorStorm by Alex Jones
Here’s your irresponsible speculation of the week in the form of a feature length movie. The thesis of TerrorStorm is that there is plenty of well-documented historical instances of ‘false flag’ terrorist operations by democratic governments intended to manipulate both foriegn and domestic constituencies, and that there is proof that many recent terrorist attack could … Read more
Campaign Whispers: Latas for Arizona Democratic Party Chairman?
I heard an interesting rumor that deserves some competent mongering. If Jeff Latas doesn’t win the Democratic primary for Congress, there are lots of folks who would be very supportive of him becoming the new Arizona Democratic Party Chairman.

This week, I’m hoping that Jonathan Paton, state representative for LD 30, will be coming to Drinking Liberally. Mr. Paton is … Read more
Primarily Joe
The not-entirely-unexpected primary loss of Sen. Joe’mentum’ Lieberman to insurgent Ned Lamont, demonstrates the Democrats are not having any more ‘business as usual’ this election season. Voters are motivated to make a change, as evidenced by the unprecedented 50%+ turnout in the Nutmeg State. I don’t expect such turnout to be the norm, but it … Read more
Media Archeology
I noticed this painted sign in downtown Tucson. It is hard to read, but the paint blacking it out has faded from the sun enough to read the original message. "Help end the war by Dec. 31. 1971. Join Common Cause." Seemingly, someone wasn’t satisfied with that date and added "NOW" in red letters. Needless … Read more
