King of Pain

KING OF PAIN This cantankerous coot’s cranium’s been throbbin’ with irony-overload watching Sheriff “Nickel Bag” Joe Arpaio crown himself Maricopa County’s anti-corruption czar, with aid and comfort from our wing-nutty County Attorney Candy Thomas. The hypocritical hosers have formed a partnership they call MACE (Maricopa County Anti-Corruption Enforcement), which has…

Newsaxon.com, the neo-Nazi MySpace, with hot racist chicks galore.

Forgottensoul88: The face of hate never looked so cute. White-trash pinheads who dig Adolf Hitler, swastikas, and worshippin’ Wotan now have a place to let their fascist freak flags fly without worrying about what Zionists and race-mixers have to say. It’s called Newsaxon.com, a racist MySpace, with nearly 2,000 members…

Jarrett and Goliath

“With the people’s David in the race, we’re going to slay the Phil-istine giant,” the Reverend Jarrett Maupin II informed this cynical sandgrouse, referring to his just-announced campaign against Phoenix Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon, the cash-bloated Goliath to Maupin’s slingshot-bearin’ David. “Who’re the Philistines?” continued the 19-year-old Rev, while getting…

KFYI A-hole Barry Young blames Virginia Tech victims for their own murders.

Barry “Naw, I aint” Young, KFYI’s pie-faced horse’s patootie. Anyone who’s ever read stroke-mag Hustler knows of a feature called “Asshole of the Month,” wherein politicians, ideologues and media types are skewered. I’m thinking of starting a version called “PHX A-hole of the Week,” to honor P-town butt-holes deserving of…

Yucko the Clown and Beetlejuice do the PHX.

Two clowns flippin’ you the bird… Beetlejuice mobbed by fans at the Clubhouse… So the Killers of Comedy from the Howard Stern Show were in Tempe at the Clubhouse Music Venue this past Saturday, and I had to make the scene to see my two favorite Stern show regs: the…

Go, Jarrett, go: Whip Phil’s flabby white keister… The word’s out: The Reverend Jarrett Maupin II will be a contender in the Phoenix 2007 mayoral race in a bid to unseat Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon. A formal announcement will come sometime this week, but already the prez of the Arizona…

Friday Femme Fatale: Sister Kenyattasaurus Rex

The spooky-sexy Sister Kenyattasaurus Rex… Okay, so last week, I told you we were flippin’ the script to Thump Day Diva from Hump Day Honey, and now I’m adding a Friday Femme Fatale, what gives? Jeez, people, I have other stuff to do too, so Monday Mammas and Tuesday Tarts…

Dueling Mormons

It’s like a scene out of the classic Western series Gunsmoke, with Marshal Matt Dillon facing off against some ornery outlaw in the streets of Dodge City. To one side, in a white hat and silver star, is courageous Congressman Jeff Flake from AZ’s Sixth Congressional District, a proponent of…

Fast Money Phil Gordon in Phoenix Developers’ Pockets

That ain’t Monopoly money Phil’s playin’ with… In case you have any doubts whom Mayor Phil Gordon really represents, check this under-the-radar March 2 story by the Phoenix Business Journal titled “Developers bankrolling Gordon’s re-election campaign.” Gordon’s Phil for Phoenix PAC has raised over $655K according to the article, and…

Joe Watson, the Salon Bandit?

Joe Watson in custody… Some Mondays are crazier than others, and this one was particularly whack, with the news that ex-New Times staff writer Joe Watson was popped Friday for allegedly sticking up six Valley businesses, including three salons in Scottsdale, hence the catchy sobriquet “the salon bandit.” Scottsdale detectives…

An Israel for Rednecks

Could it work for the rednecks? Just back from a three-day weekend in La-La Land, where you can’t help but be struck by how far more ethnically diverse the City of Angels is than the PHX. Angelenos are not nearly as worked up over illegal immigration as many Sand Landers…

Nickel-Bag Joe Arpaio Strikes Again!

Protector of sheep, punisher of poor illegal immigrants… Is it any coincidence that on the same day the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office makes headlines for releasing an illegal immigrant from jail who’s suspected of subsequently murdering someone, Nickel-Bag Joe Arpaio announces he’s going to have his deputies bust illegal immigrants…

Thump Day Diva: The Ravishing Riana

Riana Songstress-siren Riana, the sort of pale beauty of which the poets sing… With her almond eyes, raven tresses and a complexion stolen from the winter moon, PHX songstress Riana Riggs of bands Edison Gem and Runaway Diamonds is like one of those pale sirens Lord Byron wrote of years…

Corruption Junction

Raise a talon if any of you birds of paradise are even mildly surprised that Republican Representative Rick Renzi’s name is smack dab in the middle of Gonzales-gate — you know, the ethical firestorm over the dismissal of eight federal prosecutors by U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ Justice Department? The…
