These pics were sent to me by a photo enforcement foe. Does this mean we have a mole on the inside? Heh, could be… Everything looks normal from the rear. But from the front, hey, what’s that on the dash? Looks like someone has good taste in reading material…
See the new lyrics for this song by “dude” below — after the jump, if you’re in the abridged version. Once in a long while, a commenter emerges from this blog who befuddles other blogilla gorillas, an anonymous wing-nutty tard who shakes things up with his (or her)masturbatory use of the blog…
Ah, happy days…Mesa neo-Nazi J.T. Ready (left) and state legislator Russell Pearce, get frisky with each other in June of 2007. Hey, you know you have a rock-hard coalition when you have a two-fisted, pinko liberal like me, and a right-wing ogre like state Senator Russell Pearce — forwarder of…
When it rains it pours, people. Needless to say, it’s late, but I just caught this errant ball from the MCSO’s list of recent press releases. I think it pretty much speaks for itself. Perhaps Sheriff Joe should spend less time roving the West Valley with a military-style force looking for…
How much is this egomaniac gonna cost us in the longrun? The county’ll have bupkis before it’s all over with. Who shot down the sheriff (metaphorically speaking), and for the second time, no less? The National Commission on Correctional Health Care, which as of Friday rejected an appeal of an…
MCSO spokesman Aaron Douglas, mugging for the camera during this weekend’s operation. Is he SGM? According to the latest numbers released by the MCSO, there were a total of 52 suspects taken into custody during Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s entire two day anti-immigrant sweep in the West Valley. Of these 52, 14 were…
(NOTE: Please see below for update and mugshot of the mother.)This disturbing video was taken last night by Phoenix civil rights activist Sal Reza during Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s latest anti-immigrant sweep in the West Valley, which is ongoing as I type. Reza witnessed two MCSO deputies, at least one of…
“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…
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…
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…
Fortunately, things didn’t get quite this bad. At least they kept their clothes on…UPDATE 1/9/09: If you missed it, and are a glutton for punishment, you can watch Arpaio’s appearance on O’Brien’s show, here. Arpaio’s segment starts about 28:38 in, or if you hit the “Chapters” button below the video,…
Has the Town of Guadalupe cut a deal with Sheriff Joe Arpaio? And is another anti-immigrant sweep of the city coming down the pike? Could be, on both counts. According to court records, as of January 5, 2009, the Town of Guadalupe ended its federal law suit against the MCSO,…
In the future, there will be nothing but lists, lists, and more lists. We will worship lists as the ancient Egyptians once venerated the sun. There’s no use in resisting. So take a sedative, a hit of Scotch, a toke or two of the medical-grade shit, and prepare to be…
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…
MCSA’s rally following the short BOS meeting today… Aside from the tragicomic funeral for the “Death of Democracy” that was held outside by members of ACORN and Maricopa Citizens for Safety and Accountability, today’s Board of Supervisors meeting was relatively uneventful, civil even. There were no arrests, for applauding or anything…
I’m on the run this a.m., but I would be remiss if I did not point your attention to this excellent article by David Carr in Sunday’s New York Times online concerning our clown of a sheriff, “A Star Turn for a Sheriff on Fox TV.” Unlike a lot of…
There’s a new sheriff in Pinal County, and he’s ridin’ Redflex out on a hot rail… CameraFraud.com’s reporting that Pinal County’s newly elected Sheriff Paul Babeu has ended Pinal’s photo enforcement contract with Redflex, the Australian firm responsible for so many of those mechanical Orwellian shutterbugs plaguing motorists throughout the…
Joe and the nativists, the love that never dies… You judge a man, sometimes, by the company he keeps. So what does it say of Sheriff Joe that he recently spoke at the Arizona American Italian Club to a group of notorious nativists, including minuteman honcho Chris Simcox, and alleged…
Mirror, mirror on the wall…who’s the worst sheriff of them all? Snort.Though this will come as no shock to denizens of cactus country, The New York Times’ editorial blog — The Board — today dubbed our corrupt top constable, “America’s Worst Sheriff.” Noting Joe Arpaio’s recent foray in to trash…
Demonstrators marching at Thomas and Central in Phoenix. When I got word that End the War Coalition, Code Pink, Women in Black, and other lefty, peacenik groups would be holding a vigil at Thomas and Central calling for an end to Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza, I was skeptical…
If these two were around today in P-town, the knuckledraggin’ KTAR-types’d shoot ’em on sight: Keith Haring (above) and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Ah, let the provincialism roll like a mighty wave of something brown through our benighted Valley, where every time someone hacks a loogie or lets fly an air biscuit…
Separated at birth? According to economist Paul Krugman, it’s possible. Will soon-to-be Arizona Governor Jan Brewer repeat the mistakes of Republicans in the midst of the Great Depression, specifically those of President Herbert Hoover?It seems likely. With a GOP-led legislature intent on “starving the beast,” as they call state government,…
