Recall leader and crazy Hobbit lady Anna Gaines: Her effort against Mayor Phil failed today. As no doubt some of you are hearing on the radio and elsewhere, the recall effort by the nativist group American Citizens United of Mayor Phil Gordon has failed. Phoenix City Clerk Mario Paniagua told…
Holocaust-denier John Watson with state Rep. Russell Pearce. I was somewhat gratified to see the East Valley Tribune follow my blog item on Russell Pearce removing the name of alleged public urinator Buffalo Rick Galeener from his list of endorsers. Check out the story by Trib scribbler Sonu Munshi, here…
So what does Daddy Yankee’s reggaeton hit Gasolina really mean, and does John McCain approve? Who can blame withered geriatric John McCain for trying to broaden his appeal to Obama-aged voters and below by touting the endorsement of reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee? And at Phoenix’s Central High no less. Daddy…
Arpaio-foe Dan Saban, on the stump, pummeling Joe every chance he gets, and out-raising him in the recent pre-primary report. Flying under the media radar last week was the fact that Sheriff Joe-foe Dan Saban quietly out-raised Arpaio in the latest report turned into the Maricopa County Elections Department, the…
Ready and Pearce in June 2007, when all was merry and bright. The incessant pounding is beginning to take its toll on the Russell Pearce for state Senate campaign. Not only has Pearce thrown his erstwhile protégé, white pride advocate J.T. Ready under the proverbial Greyhound (as is apparent from…
It took us a minute, but we finally got some clips of the surreptitiously taped meeting between Maricopa County Supervisor Fulton Brock and local activists up on YouTube. The entire file is kinda long, so we picked the highlights, as we saw them. For background on what went down at…
Jeff Flake fires back on the county GOP’s neo-Nazi problem. In Thursday’s blog post on the local Republican Party’s J.T. Ready-problem, I included an excerpt from Maricopa County Republican Party Chairman Tom Husband’s letter to Congressman Jeff Flake, wherein Husband claims ignorance of Ready’s neo-Nazi affiliations. The conservative Sonoran Alliance…
Maricopa County Republican Chairman Tom Husband, from the MC GOP Web site. The Republic amuses me. Why is it when they finally get around to pulling themselves off the sofa to write about a story I’ve been whaling on for over a year, they act like they’ve just discovered Plymouth…
A flier for Tonopah’s upcoming Oi Fest!, one of many neo-Nazi/white power events scheduled for Arizona. As you might have read in the far right Sonoran Alliance blog this morning, three GOP Congressmen from Arizona — Jeff Flake, John Shadegg and Trent Franks have called on Tom Husband, Chairman of…
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema: Giving Connerly and Thomas a proper paddywhack on the rumpus. It was Ward “Money Bags” Connerly and Andy “Candy” Thomas who figured that this white bread-and-mayo state of ours needed less diversity, not more. And they reckoned their way of achieving this ass-backwards, bigoted goal was the…
Russell Pearce supporter and alleged public urinator Buffalo Rick Galeener. They say you judge a man by the company he keeps. If so, wannabe state Senator Russell Pearce gets no high marks for the gutter trash he associates with — neo-Nazi and Pearce pal J.T. Ready being a prime example…
Female trouble? A police report involving Pearce’s ex-wife raises new questions about his “violent temper.” As I mentioned at the end of this week’s Bird column, I recently obtained additional evidence backing up LuAnne Pearce’s 1980 contention that her husband, state Rep. Russell Pearce “is possessed of a violent temper.”…
Russell Pearce is in full-on denial mode in the face of the latest Nathan Sproul flier linking him to Mesa neo-Nazi J.T. Ready. In Saturday’s Republic, Pearce was paraphrased as saying the photo of he and Ready arm-in-arm “was one of dozens he posed for” during a June 2007 anti-immigration…
Side one of the new anti-Pearce flier. Side two, featuring Pearce and the Ernst Roehm of the East Valley. I’ve been screaming in the wilderness about the links between avowed neo-Nazi J.T. Ready and state Rep. Russell Pearce for well-over a year. Now Republican consultant Nathan Sproul has taken up…
Kudos to the Maricopa County Democratic Party for this kick-ass repository of anti-Joe info. Today the Maricopa County Democratic Party formally unveiled a brilliant new weapon in the ongoing war against corrupt old Sheriff Joe: A Web site called Joesgottogo.com. The site bills itself as, “The best source of Joe…
Side one of the Nathan Sproul-authored mailer. The reverse of the same flier, which began hitting Mesa mailboxes today. It’s better than ESPN, better than football, better even than those pay-per-view Girls Gone Wild ads on late night cable. (No, really.) I mean the kvetching and donnybrooking on the conservative…
With three months to go, a glimmer of hope for Arpaio-foe Dan Saban. Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s a wounded animal tonight. And challenger Dan Saban ‘s on the hunt and smelling fresh blood. A new Rocky Mountain/BRC poll shows Joe’s numbers trending downward like they’ve been doing since last year. Currently,…
Absolutely not Darrell Ankarlo…but this guy did have leprosy. Last week, while I was listening to KTAR’s far-right lip-flapper defend his sorry ass in the whole Ankarlo book tour controversy — you know, where KTAR took $11,500 in RICO funds from County Attorney Andrew Thomas’ office to promote Ankarlo’s brown-bashing…
Check out these new attack ads against anti-Mexican Mesa pol Russell Pearce and GOP wild man Jack Harper, state Senator from LD 4. Both are brought to us by two independent expenditure committees, People of Arizona and Protect Arizona’s Future. The anti-Pearce ad faults the Republican legislator for disobeying Ronald…
What’s more sickening, spoilt mayo or our own Sheriff Blowhard? After this recent stunt in which some 11 corn and snow-cone vendors were arrested by MCSO goons in a mini-Maryvale sweep, I’d say, Sheriff Joe. (See update on number in custody below.) “But Sheriff Joke doesn’t make you sick,” I…
Is that the corpse of the KTAR news room Ankarlo’s devouring? In case you missed today’s show from KTAR’s mornin’ jabroni Darrell Ankarlo, you can rest assured that your county RICO dollars are being well-spent. At least as far as County Attorney Andy “Candy” Thomas is concerned. See, for just…
It’s likely no one in town will give me any credit for breaking the story that KTAR 92.3 FM is getting moolah from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for top lip-flapper Darrell Ankarlo’s book tour. (Sniff.) But that’s OK. You know who broke that story, boyos. In fact, should anyone…
