See, no one can kill dawgs in this here county but me! What the eff is the matter with you people? Apparently the good citizens of AZ have sooooo much time on their hands and heat on their brains during the dog days of summer that they’re ready storm the…
KTAR’s Darrell Ankkkarlo ain’t on Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s payroll, as far as I know, but he might as well be. Seems Ankarlow-brow made a big deal about the photoshopped pic above on his show today, as if this might be beyond the pale somehow. Looks like a very legitimate political…
Chomsky on the moonbats: “The evidence that’s been produced [in favor of 9/11 conspiracy theories], in my opinion, is essentially worthless.” Back to David Ray Griffin soon, but I wanted to make some points about so-called left gatekeepers, Noam Chomsky and whether or not the 9/11 “truth” movement is left-wing,…
David Ray Griffin, laughing all the way to the bank? Retired religion prof. David Ray Griffin is currently the leading intellectual light of the 9/11 movement, a position once held, it could be argued, by bombastic saliva-spewer Jim Fetzer, himself a professor of philosophy. Of course, being the leading light…
Does moonhowler Jim Marrs still defend Holocaust denier Eric Williams, now that Williams’ Shoah-shirking tome is back on the ‘Net? Remember Eric Williams, Holocaust denier and author of The Puzzle of Auschwitz, who was at one time the “Conference Director” of the Chandler 9/11 kook convention that took place February…
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. A winner we have in our Star Wars trivia contest. The question was why the photo pictured above would be physically impossible in George Lucas’ fantasy realm. Though a couple of Star Wars geeks in-house knew the answer, they couldn’t…
The prejudiced pixies of Prussian Blue… Thanks to my pals at the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog for pointing out this brilliant new documentary from British TV Nazi Pop Twins about the infamous white pride duo Prussian Blue, made up of 15-year-old fraternal twins Lynx and Lamb Gaede. The…
What’s wrong with this pic? Why is it physically impossible in the Star Wars realm? I’m throwing this contest out for any and all local Star Wars fanatics who may have been boggled by the whole Jedi theme for the cover story this week The Yoda of 9/11. Actually, you…
Can someone cue “Three Blind Mice”? So Dylan Avery likes talking about balls, and doods with balls in their mouths. Hey, that’s his mature way of responding to critics, by using all that homoerotic imagery floating around his noggin’. As Jerry Seinfeld might say, not that there’s anything wrong with…
In a major disappointment for mayoral hopeful Rev. Jarrett Maupin, Judge Peter Swann just returned a decision effectively dismissing Maupin’s lawsuit aimed at placing his name on the September 11 ballot. Judge Swann agreed with the Phoenix City Attorney that Maupin’s challenge had come too late in the day for…
Keep remindin’ yourself, he’s only 20… It was a packed house in the Old Bailey today as lawyers for both the Rev. Jarrett Maupin and the City of Phoenix duked it out before Judge Peter B. Swann over whether or not Maupin’s name will be on the ballot come this…
The People’s Champ fights back today in court… With the political clock ticking, Phoenix mayoral hopeful Jarrett Maupin filed suit in Maricopa County Superior Court late Monday to have his name restored to the September 11 ballot. Maupin is repped by Republican attorney John Acer, perhaps most famous locally for…
Well, that explains everything… I know there are people out there who think The Onion is the greatest comedy rag since National Lampoon or Spy, but I’ve always found it hit or miss. On my bulletin board is one of the hits: “Food Critic Tears Radish Canapés With Salmon Mousse…
Pardon me, can anyone direct me to the ladies’ bog? In a press release issued today, Tom Anderson, owner of Anderson’s 5th Estate in Scottsdale, defied the AZ Attorney General’s request that Anderson come in for a voluntary interview regarding the dumbass donnybrook instigated by Michele de LaFreniere and his/her…
Tiffany Cortez, from a photo on http://www.myspace.com/misstiffycortez, copied onto the AZPunk.com site. Normally, it’s bad form to speak ill of the dead, but not necessarily on that self-appointed online arbiter of all things badass, AZPunk.com, where some posters to the site have laid into fallen PHX police officer George Cortez,…
The YouthStrikers, starvin’ for justice… Just stopped by the little bookstore at 16th, just south of Thomas in PHX where the YouthStrikers have set up their foodless sleepover in the back. Wanted to get my green ribbon and encourage these young activists who’re protesting against the Prop 300 law and…
Hey Susan, can I get a witness? Where’s Susan Powter when you need her? I’ve mostly held my tongue during the mourning over the four guys who perished in that tragic helicopter accident last week, out of respect for those who died and their families. However, it has occurred to…
First piece on the Grant Ave. side of Miranda’s. Let’s hear it for serendipity. I was going stir-crazy Sunday, researching the cover story I’m working on now, so I took a ride to ease my nerves and just so happened upon one of the dopest legal walls I’ve ever seen…
The kids are alright: Give ’em hell, El Break… I was heartened over the weekend to learn of the hunger strike starting today by these college students who have a radio show on 1190 AM called El Break. According to the press release, they’ll be parked outside of Congressman Ed…
Mayor of the nation’s fifth-largest city, major league doofus, or both? Let’s go to the videotape. Anyone out there who doesn’t think PHX Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon is icompetent should take a look at this video from a 7/21 interview ABC 15’s Lisa Fletcher did with Goober, following the airing…
Damnit, Manet, won’t you ever come out? Just watched a late night repeat of the Friday journalist roundtable on AZ PBS Horizon (you guessed it, there was nothing else on), with Howie Fischer hosting and making sure to hit everything he wrote about this week for Capitol Media Services. One…
Paul Chagolla (right) barely containing his rage, with me on the left, and Lisa Allen MacPherson in the middle; from back in November, when Chagolla threw me out of a press conference for no reason. Uh, note my super-aggressive body language… What do Communist China, present-day Iran, and Maricopa County…
