BlogForArizona Editorial Policy on Endorsements
August 23, 2006
I don’t think anyone is actually looking to BlogForArizona for candidate endorsements, but I love policies. So what the heck; I’m going to have one on endrosements. I’m not going to do them. They’re dumb. The people who do them are dumb. Often the candidates are dumb. Why bother? The people who come here are
Patrick J. Buchanan and the Reconquista
August 23, 2006
Patrick J. Buchanan’s new book "State of Emergency" is in pre-sales. The book is about illegal immigration from Mexico, forthrightly seeking to thrust the conspiracy theory of a Mexican Reconquista of southwestern American states to the center of the debate. This was a fairly obvious one, really, but I like all pronosticators, I have to
JD Hayworth and Abramoff (The GOP’s 2nd favorite Jew, even the anti-Semites’)
August 22, 2006
Props to Lefty Latino for bird dogging this one: Heck of an indictment of good ol’ boy JD. I just hope Harry doesn’t unlock his jaw from JD political throat (little homage to Dante, see prior post).
HellOnToni Cracks Open
August 22, 2006
Espresso Pundit posted on a very interesting development in the CD 8 race. Toni Hellon, CD 8 candidate Mike Hellon’s ex-wife and a State Senator, filed an injunction against Bill Arnold, CD 8 candidate Steve Huffman’s campaign treasurer who’s notorious mainly for scumbaggery around some crooked Amphi School District land deals, for harrassment and reputational
The CD 8 Gender Gap
August 21, 2006
Why is it that there is not a single female GOP candidate in CD 8, yet fully half of the Democrats, three out of six – Patty Weiss, Gabby Giffords, and Francine Shacter – are women? Why is the GOP incapable of fielding even one female candidate for one of the most competitive races in
Ted Downing and the Rio Nuevo Project Reauthorization
August 19, 2006
The Facts In the contentious LD 28 Senate primary race, the recent successful reauthorization of Rio Nuevo has been fashioned into a sort of political litmus test for loyalty to Tucson’s interests. Paula Aboud has repeatedly accused Ted Downing of not supporting the reauthorization, even though he voted for the final bill. This has been
Why can’t we all be Japanese?
August 19, 2006
Why can’t we all be Japanese? A very interesting essay, though a bit discursive into unrelated theological matters, introduces a major new cross-cultural study of the correlations between belief in the divine, and violence and sexual behavior. The counter-inuitive, and politically provocative, conclusion of the study is that there is a strong positive correlation between
Steve Huffman, Arizona Minuteman
August 18, 2006
So I was watching Stevie Huffman’s immigration-centric ad, and one image in particular struck me: We have Stevie, on his knees, in the dark (maybe near a lonely freeway rest stop somewhere), delicately holding a big, hard, shiny phallic object, and looking quite winsome. Then it struck me: Stevie really has become Jim Kolbe. Oh,
