AZ’s anti-immigrant Erma Bombeck… Maybe the AZ Repugnant’s soccer-momish columnist Laurie Roberts isn’t a Hispanic-hatin’ hausfrau, but she sure sounds like one sometimes. Take Lame-o Laurie’s latest screed, her June 23rd opinion piece titled “Another victim of uncontrolled border,” in which she blames a death by DUI on the lack…
Hartley (right) and I at Saturday’s prejudice party, pic from Arizona.indymedia.org . A few tidbits more about last Saturday’s bigot bash at the AZ Capitol. At the very end, I got into what you might call a spirited discussion with the master of ceremonies, this dood Todd “Twinkle Toes” Hartley,…
Yuk it up: Our clown of a constable just cost us another $2 mil. Hear the giant sucking sound? That’s another $2 million being drained from Maricopa County’s tax coffers on behalf of those who’ve perished in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s gulags. Today the MC Board of Supervisors finally released details…
Bosom bigot buddies: J.T. Ready (in suit) and Rep. Russell Pearce (in flag shirt) work the crowd together. Like you needed more proof that AZ’s nativist movement is riddled with racists, rednecks, and raving wing-nuts, the anti-immigrant protest at the state capitol this Saturday (6/16) featured a rabble-rousing speech by…
Come on baby, light my fire: Burlesque Baroness Pyra Sutra at burn nightclub. See more babeage on parade in this Scandalesque slideshow. Starry, starry night. Not the sappy Don McLean tune of yore. Starry night’s what they call the shots I’ve been pounding at downtown’s new burn nightclub: a mix…
Chill out people, it’s just water. Um, at least it looked like water… I hate to say I told you so. Actually, who am I kiddin’? I LOVE telling you I told you so. On May 31, The Bird squawked about an insane new law Governor Janet “Manet” Napolitano signed…
Goddard standing tall: If he ever investigates Candy and/or Sheriff Joe, I may go gay for him! In a startling development that’s the AZ state government equivalent of standing up to the schoolyard bully, Attorney General Terry Goddard has told Sheriff Joe to go eff himself, informing asshole Arpaio that…
Don’t tell me Pooh’s a troofer too! Nah, he’s too smart for that. (Believe it or not, this tin-foil hat’s for sale at eCrater.com.) Should 9/11 troofer and tin-foil hatter Matt Lepacek have been booted from a post-debate Spin Room at the Republican debate Tuesday, June 5 in Goffstown, N.H.?…
Christ, Joe, put your tongue back in your mouth… If you have to think about your answer to the question above, you haven’t been in Maricopa County for very long. Still even if you’re a newbie, watching dirty ol’ Joe salivating before cameras over the Paris Hilton controversy taking place…
Sly Sy, raggin’ on Neocons, editors, and the Iraq War. Nothing’s more boring than a conference room full of “serious” journalists. Unless Seymour Hersh is in it. The legendary investigative reporter, who nabbed a Pulitzer back in 1970 for exposing the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and who’s still breaking…
“So Phil’s hiding where?” Maupin presents Goober’s chief of staff Deb Gullett with paperwork to help hizzoner switch parties… With a handful of supporters waving signs that read “Phil Gordon: Republican wolf in Democratic clothing,” and “Mayor Gordon is a Democrat in Name Only,” candidate Jarret Maupin stormed the Mayor’s…
DJ Blonde Noize tearin’ up the decks as I get wasted on GINORMOUS DOLLAR WELLS! If you’re wondering why the blog posts are kinda light right around now, that’s because the Feathered Bastard is hard at work, tap-tapping out Best of Phoenix entries for the highly-anticipated issue of the same…
Guess which one is the bottom… Why any Democrat in his or her right mind would vote for a Democrat in Name Only (DiNO) such as Phil “Goober” Gordon is beyond me. It’s bad enough that he endorsed asshole wingnut Andy “Candy” Thomas for County Attorney in 2004, and that…
Me with the mega-fine Brea Lynn on my shoulder… At the invite of the party people at Marquee Entertainment**, I stopped by E4 in Scottsdale Saturday night to wish Vivid contract star and former Chandler girl Brea Lynn a happy 21st b-day. Lynn moved from Cali to Chandler when she…
Cheesy Fred Thompson goofs big-time with radio ads for LifeLock. Is Fred Thompson smokin’ crack? On the same day the Law and Order star and former Senator is incorporating his presidential committee in Nashville, Tenn., we learn that he’s also shilling for scumbag Robert Maynard, founder of the identity theft…
A pic from Nat’l Geographic of the MCDC fence on a ranch in Naco, Arizona, now the subject of a lawsuit. More troubles for Minuteman Civil Defense Corps Prez Chris Simcox, aka “The Little Prince,” who just recently had to put down a “palace coup” (his words) instigated by Minuteman…
Betcha Max Jarman’s seen his mini-me.. I wonder what it feels like to butt-lick one of the biggest assholes on face of the planet? That’s what I’d like to ask Arizona Republic journo (and I use that word loosely) Max Jarman, after reading his verbal rim-job of Richard Adkerson, CEO…
Smokin’ cheddar: The amazing Dick Cheese with his band, sans Old Spice… Can you smell it, people — the magical aroma of Dick Cheese with Old Spice? Whether loving homage or (more likely) blatant rip-off, the new Old Spice commercial featuring Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell crooning a lounge-y version…
Chuey mixes up a “Chuey special,” with extra Chuey-juice… “It’s like Terri Schiavo night in here,” cracks my pal and personal hero Chuey the Rock ‘n’ Roll Midget. “You know, tryin’ to stay alive.” I glance around. The crowd’s almost two deep at the world’s first ever fully-functioning midget bar,…
J. Edgar Hoover must be rollin’ over in his bloomers: One of his FBI agents, a hardened criminal? That’s the tale told by campus cops at Tucson’s University of Arizona, where Agent Ryan Seese was arrested May 3, shortly after a cleaning lady observed him whackin’ off in the women’s…
Chris Simcox is not in this way-awesome band, but he is in a monkey knife fight… Well, either Chris Simcox was bullshitting me last night by telling me only three MCDC minutemen had been kicked out of his org. ( see my earlier post, “Monkey Knife Fight at the MCDC:…
Now which one is Chris Simcox? It’s a regular monkey knife fight down at the Scottsdale HQ of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, where alpha male prez Chris Simcox, aka “The Little Prince,” has recently purged anywhere from three to 14 members for revolting against his iron rule and asking…
