Eddie Basha III Supporting the GOP
August 6, 2006
I was interested to receive an invitation to the upcoming reception for Vice President Dick Cheney in Phoenix. I noted with a heavy heart at least one of the names among the usual suspects on the invitation’s list of event co-chairs: The Arizona Republican Party Cordially Invites You to a Luncheon with Special Guest Vice
CampaignToons’ “Alien Invasion”: Racist Stereotyping Coming to a GOP Campaign Near You?
August 5, 2006
Link: CampaignToons :: Alien Invasion – Chupacabras for Our Nation’s Borders. CampaignToons is a brilliant little company, I have to admit. I think cartooning has a significant future in political messaging. It’s fun, it’s cheap, it’s compelling, and it’s a good way to satirize your opponent. This particular message struck me as interesting because of
Hayworth Lies About the Estate Tax Vote
August 5, 2006
Hayworth’s rationale for his support of the most ironic bill ever, the minumum wage increase/dynasty tax cut, is compete and utter bullshit. He said, "The minimum wage was due for an increase, but it was important that we offset its cost to small businesses. Permanently reducing the death [sic] tax allows family-run businesses, farms and
Ted Downing and the Spousal Rape Law
August 4, 2006
I received an interesting email from Merrill Eisenberg, a long-time Democratic party activist and UofA faculty member, regarding the LD 28 Senate race between Ted Downing and Paula Aboud to replace Gabby Giffords in the State Senate.

Oh, Shiite!
August 2, 2006
Last year, Bush invoked a sophomoric vision of a Sunni based restoration of the Caliphate under the leadership of Al Qaeda as the new boogieman justifying our bloated military industrial complex and neo-colonial foriegn policy. In reponse, I wrote an article about the much more tangible threat posed by a newly energized Shiite pan-nationalism, unified
Clear Channel Channels a Seditious God
August 2, 2006
Did that piss you off? Good. That feeling means you are a real American. The fucking seditious assholes at Clear Channel who are forcing people to look at this sententious, presumptious, blasphemous, anti-American, Constitution-undermining bullshit, don’t know that feeling. These theo-totalitarian bags of shit are actively trying to undermine the Constitutional order under the guise
GOP Files FEC Complaint on Pederson, Short-Circuits Irony Meter
August 1, 2006
The GOP filed a campaign finance complaint against Pederson. The complaint really isn’t the news. The complaint alleges some late and incomplete filings that were submitted or later amended; it’s nothing but an attempt to dirty up of the presumptive Democratic candidate, and not worth the ink the Star give it. What is really mind-blowingly
