Maupin’s down for the moment, but he’s not out yet… The Rev. Jarrett Maupin fell 91 signatures short of the 1,500 necessary to be certified to be on the ballot in the Sept. 11 mayoral election, Phoenix City Clerk Mario Paniagua said today. Maupin turned in 3,920 signatures on Friday,…
If you’re irony deficient, here’s one to bite on: Damon Ashenfelter, the self-avowed white supremacist who was identified in Friday’s post, “Rusty Childress’ United for a Sovereign America: A family portrait,” has set his MySpace profile to private, and changed his motto from “Hail the Order. Hail the 14 words…
The gang’s all here, everyone but Uncle Fester… Add another white supremacist to the ranks of Kia-peddler Rusty Childress’ United for a Sovereign America. A source sent the above photo to me, stating that they got it off Rusty’s Web page at http://immigrationbuzz.com/. According to the source, the photo was…
Terry Goddard’s new slogan: A tranny in every bog! To cop a line from comedienne Margaret Cho: Ah, the magical smell of balls and pantyhose! You best get used to it ladies, if Attorney General Terry Goddard and local diversity activist Michele de LaFreniere have anything to do about it…
Wack-ass graff: Detail from pics of Goober Gordon’s HQ (below). You’d think with a million smackers in the bank, PHX Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon could keep the ex-tranny bar on Roosevelt he calls a campaign HQ free of urban blight. But as mayoral contender Steve Lory pointed out with a…
Sun Tzu, the first Republican? Back in the 6th Century B.C., renowned Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu wrote in his seminal treatise The Art of War that all warfare is based on deception. One might apply this observation to modern politics, which is war by other means, to paraphrase Clausewitz…
Buddha by the PHX’s El Mac and El Lay’s RETNA. Nice to know the ink-slingers over at New Times’ sister paper in L.A. have some taste. I might’ve thought otherwise had they not – ironically – chosen an image from one of the most talented street artists in the PHX…
Dumbass songstress Kay Rivoli, wonderin’ why she has to press 1 for English. Rusty Childress has the problem licked, he just gives Spanish speakers their own # to call. One of the incessant whines of the nativist crowd has to do with having to press 1 for English (as opposed…
What a mother! One of the latest Bird boycott letters, signed by Stephanie Harris of Mothers Against Illegal Aliens As Feathered Bastard’s co-clucker The Bird mentioned this week in his column, Rusty’s World, some New Times advertisers have been receiving various versions of the above form letter, distributed at Randy…
Hey, that’s one way to keep him off the OxyContin… It’s a rare event when I agree with the likes of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, and so on. But when it comes to liberals and prominent Democrats who want to revive the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” the…
In my ongoing attempt to spotlight what noteworthy PHX graff I can find out on those much-buffed streets, here are a few snaps I shot this Sunday while driving around. One is definitely from the SOS crew, the others I have no idea about, so feel free to school me…
Yours truly with rocker Evan Seinfeld and the hella-hot Tera Patrick… Porn mogul and First Amendment defender Larry Flynt has long been my personal hero. Technically, he’s also my old boss, as I used to write for Hustler back in the day, though I’ve only talked to him while interviewing…
The Chez’s beauties: Gyana (left); Naima (right); and Amina Uben (center), mother of both. It’s been such a hectic week with the Fourth and all, that I haven’t had a chance to blog about the last night at Chez Nous, the 40-plus year-old drinking parlor at Indian School Rd. and…
Unrelated to the following, an actual pink firearm that I found at www.jimsgunsupply.com. A national underground movement of pink pistol packin’ lesbos runnin’ around, attacking het doods, and forcibly “indoctrinating” straight chicks into the lesbian lifestyle? As Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot.” Sadly, it’s not true, though when I…
Ready and waiting for Russell Pearce to mount… Surprise, surprise. Lacking the political cover of a successful U.S. Senate immigration reform package, AZ’s spineless chief executive yesterday signed into law a seriously flawed Russell Pearce piece of legislation, the sole intent of which is to discriminate against those with brown…
Run Goober, Run: Gordon can’t escape tough questions from his own party. (Photo from Phil’s Web site.) Saturday, I made my way down to the Maricopa County Democratic Party convention being held on the west side at the Carpenter Union Training Center because both Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon and Jarrett…
The last drink pours Saturday… Phoenix’ll be a lot less cool for the next couple of months, and I ain’t talkin’ about the friggin’ heat island. This Saturday, the venerable soul lounge Chez Nous pours its final cocktail after 40-plus years in the drink-slingin’ biz. The Chez’s been forced out…
Counterdemos at the June 16 racist fest: Multiply this by about 300, make it meaner than a junkyard dog, and it’d be just about right to battle assholes like… …Buffalo Dick. For the moment, the retard rednecks have won. A vocal, vile, and sometimes violent minority of American citizens –…
BFF? J.T. Ready and Russell Pearce arm-in-arm, from the white nationalist White Knights of America Web site. The degree to which vile extremist organizations and individuals are welcomed into the fold of Arizona’s anti-immigration movement never ceases to amaze me. In other states, sharing a stage with a white supremacist…
Sending out an SOS…? Everyone knows Phoenix is a sucky town for graffiti. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. Not to say there aren’t some really talented writers, taggers, piecers and straight-up artists out there. The Mac comes to mind on the mural/street-art tip, though I think he…
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,…
