Ipso schmucko, going down kinda like the dog he pretended to kill in Grand Rapids, Michigan. What’s the latest from the Old Pueblo and the ongoing donnybrook between Isabel Garcia and those who’ve taken the Pima County Legal Defender to task for her hoisting the head of a Sheriff Joe…
Nativists and activists and Sheriff’s deputies, oh, my! We ain’t in Kansas, no more, Toto. Rather, we’re in P-town, at the Board of Stoopervisors meeting. I mean, Supervisors, of course. And if last month’s demo before the Supes’ auditorium downtown at 205 W. Jefferson Street is any indication, then we…
Russell Pearce “is possessed of a violent temper,” according to a 1980 court document signed by his wife LuAnne.

Tears of a clown? Joe’s afraid of the big, bad Mesa police chief. So I return from my brief respite from the sad insanity of Maricopa County to see that mean ol’ Sheriff Joe’s still so scared of Mesa Police Chief George Gascon that our cowardly top constable won’t even…
Brandy au naturel, from her Web site brandysmassage.com. I’ll be out of pocket for the next couple of days, and so will not be able to blog as normal. There will be some catching up to do Monday, on the new Cave Creek raid and the series on Joe in…

Joe giving the oldsters a thrill at the recent Scottsdale booksigning. One thing I like about these ongoing protests of Sheriff Joe signing his book Joe’s Law at Barnes and Noble stores throughout the Valley, is that they strip away the veneer of bullshit that overlays everything to do with…
Randy Parraz of the Maricopa Citizens for Safety and Accountability following his grilling of the Supes this past Thursday.
