Supporters of convicted Border Patrol Agents Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and Jose Compean often tout the case as a miscarriage of justice, an instance where two true-blue BPAs ended up the victims of an overzealous prosecutor. As I stated in my recent Bird column “Anti-Heroes,” it’s obvious from the transcripts of…

I love these guys. Need a break from all the anti-immigrant hate-mongers out there, the Terry Andersons, Lou Dobbses, Michael Savages and so on who make their livings spewing forth venom and bile onto the poorest, meekest members of our society? Then check out this episode of the Penn and…
From the Omaha Nazi rally, J.T.’s the second from the right. The Ernst Roehm of East Valley, former Mesa City Council candidate J.T. Ready has been lying low for a while, at least since I saw him arm-in-arm with AZ state Rep. Russell Pearce, after his rabble-rousing speech at the…

Two supporters of Virginia Gutierrez, shortly after Wednesday’s rally.

Rusty’s new group. Rusty’s old group. Rusty’s thong. Kia-peddler and brown-basher Rusty Childress is a co-founder, along with this guy Danny Smith, of an anti-illegal immigrant bike group called the American Freedom Riders.

Year of the dog, indeed: But in the case of DMX, it’s Maricopa County’s “Deputy Dawg.” One thing we know about Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He loves publicity more than the truth, human rights, the U.S. Constitution, and his own conscience, if he has one. That’s why you should take the…
