• Conan O'Brien Pulls Out the Knee Pads for Joe Arpaio Wednesday Night

  Wanna see Triumph poop on Sheriff Joe, or are you just pissed Conan's gonna blow the geriatric gendarme? Call NBC and tell them how you feel at (212) 664-4444.  As disgusting as this sounds, it's apparently true that Wednesday night NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien will feature a visit by Maricopa County's corrupt top constable, who'll be plugging this retarded Fox Reality show of his, Smile...You're Under Arrest! Gonad, um, I mean Conan, is not known for his heavy lifting in the m

• Hot Links: Teen Birth Way Up In Arizona; Arpaio Pimps Reality Show With Conan O'Brien; Criminal Probe Starts Over Missing Chandler Architect

  All that abstinence education, and no abstinence: Arizona teen birth rates are skyrocketing. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio appears on Late Night With Conan O'Brien to market a Fox reality show -- news reports focused on the "sign of the apocalypse" quote by O'Brien, but the interview was lightweight and boring. A Chandler architect goes out for an ATV ride in his northern Arizona home and disappears without a trace, but this might be no accident -- police have launched a criminal probe. In

• Arpaio's First Racial Profiling Sweep of the New Year Starts Tomorrow

  Arpayaso harasses brown folk again, this time near Buckeye. Hot off his trip to NYC where he made an ass of himself on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's starting his first Hispanic-hunting foray of the season, as you can see from the press release below. The anti-brown dragnet gets down tomorrow near I-10 and Miller Road, nearby the town of Buckeye, where anyone near the shade of a brown-paper bag can expect to get pulled by the MCSO's boys in beige. As always, you pasty-

• Arpaio's Office Stonewalls on MCSO Deputies Used for Fox Reality Show

    As I noted back on December 12, and as you can see from the photo above, numerous sheriff's deputies were involved in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's star turn on the three episode Fox Reality pilot, Smile...You're Under Arrest! So on December 12, I sent a formal public records request to the MCSO asking for the names of the deputies involved, how many hours they were on duty during filming, the type of time (straight time, overtime, etc.) they billed for, and the salaries of those involved, so

• Joe Arpaio's Circus Comes to Buckeye: Assault Rifles, Body Armor, Ski Masks and Traffic Stops

  "Every life is precious," Joe kept saying of murder victims. Who is he tryin' to kid?The citizens of Buckeye and Avondale can rest easy tonight knowing that sheriff's deputies with assault rifles, body armor, and ski masks are busy pulling over old ladies and Hispanics with expired tags. This was all part of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest "crime suppression and human smuggling operation." Or in other words, his most recent dragnet for undocumented Hispanics.OK, maybe not all of MCSO's finest were o

• Jessica Lea Mayfield Impresses, Annuals Disappoint, at Rhythm Room

  Jonathan McNamara We don't normally run two pieces previewing acts from a single concert in our print edition, but last week I made an exception for Jessica Lea Mayfield and Annuals at Rhythm Room. After tonight's show I'm definitely glad I did.As the headliner, Annuals, a six-piece indie act from North Carolina, should have everything going for them. They're six years in to their career, receiving a lot of love from music blogs and scoring an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last fal

• Joe Arpaio, MCSO Can't Back Up Bogus Claim that Fox Reality Show Collared 400 Fugitives

  from the Fox Reality Channel's Smile...You're Under Arrest!The MCSO wants us to foot the bill for these deputy dawgs without knowing how much they cost us.I know it's been, like, two whole months, but do ya recall that lousy three-episode pilot Sheriff Self-Shill shot for the lame-o Fox Reality Channel, Smile...You're Under Arrest? Remember Joe plugging it on Conan O'Brien, and elsewhere, claiming that the reality series nabbed almost 400 warrant scofflaws? Well, this piece of unadulterated tras
