SQUEEZING LEMONS A true patriot speaks: I just read Stephen “Fat Boy” Lemon-head’s blog about the counter-demonstration at the Beaner rally downtown the other day, and I’m sick and tired of him maligning true patriots who’re defending this country from the invasion — and I do mean the invasion —…

Revolting Development

Gracias, gracias, gracias for ustedes who bought the Mexican’s book last week (deportation for those who haven’t). I’ve done mucho national press because of the interest — the list includes Talk of the Nation, FOX News Live, Paula Zahn Now, The Tom Leykis Show, The Glen Beck Show, BBC and…

Does the Grand Canyon Skywalk suck?

What I wanna know is how long before someone attempts a dive off this puppy? If the Denver Post, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and certain online testimonials are to be believed, the much ballyhood Grand Canyon Skywalk may be a colossal dud, an eyesore, or at the very…

The Big Chill

Moreno Spangaro’s gelato is so good that more than once, someone’s tried to steal his secret recipe out of Arlecchino, the pint-sized gelateria he runs next door to La Grande Orange, in a strip mall that houses some of the best taste in town. Turns out, you’d have to kidnap…

Femmy Nazis

This sardonic sky-soarer’s been spending a butt-load of hours on the Net of late, studying all the far-right ravens on the neo-Nazi networking site Newsaxon.com, a racist MySpace, where bigoted dillweeds with time on their hands and Adolf Hitler in their hearts can let their fascist freak flags fly. As…

Not So Slick, Rick

Because even newspaper columnists are supposed to believe in that whole innocent-until-proven-guilty thing, I can’t tell you that Congressman Rick Renzi is a crook. But I can tell you this: Rick Renzi is a liar. New Times readers may remember that, last fall, we broke the news that Renzi had…

RUSTY NAILED From the Kia dealer/activist himself: Regarding The Bird’s column (“Bigot Bash,” Stephen Lemons, April 19; also see “Ready Racist,” The Bird, April 26), United for a Sovereign America believes in the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, including free speech, as colorful as some attendees’ speech may be from…

Questionable Pronouncements

Im a gringa married to a mexicano and we have a 3-year-old son. His family is wonderful, for the most part, and they adore my son, but as he is getting older, his tíos are trying to “toughen him up” and make him more macho. So far, theyve taught him…

Fucking with the anti-immigrationists and prejudiced Kia-peddler Rusty Childress, plus a report on possible skinhead action at yesterday’s May Day march in Phoenix.

Hate signage left over from Tuesday’s counter-protest at the capitol… I tore-ass down to the big pro-immigration march Tuesday, where I made like a Scud missle for the United for a Sovereign America counter-protest, consisting of 50-to-100 dillweeds led by local Kia-dealer and Hispanic-panic-purveyor Rusty Childress. Childress and his screwy…

The Joe Watson Foundation: WTF?

Watson in better days… The (alleged) salon bandit strikes again! Minus the hand-in-bag trick this time. Seems Joe Watson’s reaching out for help from friends and family from behind the walls of Sheriff Joe’s Lower Buckeye housing unit, asking for some help with scrilla ’cause he needs it to pay…

King of Pain

KING OF PAIN This cantankerous coot’s cranium’s been throbbin’ with irony-overload watching Sheriff “Nickel Bag” Joe Arpaio crown himself Maricopa County’s anti-corruption czar, with aid and comfort from our wing-nutty County Attorney Candy Thomas. The hypocritical hosers have formed a partnership they call MACE (Maricopa County Anti-Corruption Enforcement), which has…

Sympathy for the Devil

Michael Apelt is a scammer of the first degree. Apelt arrived in the United States from his native Germany in 1988. He was 25. In four short months, he flim-flammed more people than many con men do in a lifetime. He never studied English in school, yet expressed himself well…

ARBORING TERROR? Send the man packing: How can this guy still be in the United States after all of this? (“The Algiers Connection,” Ray Stern, April 12.) It’s unbelievable! If Sofiane Laimeche is not a terrorist, as he claims, he certainly seems to have connections to them. The tone of…

Book ‘Em, Tavo

Dear Readers: The Reconquista has arrived! On Tuesday, May 1, Ask a Mexican! comes out in book form, gracias to the literary madmen at Scribner. Expect more of the same, but más: more essays, more illustrations from Mark Dancey (the gabacho who created this column’s logo), and more questions. Below…

ASU Inc.

On a quiet morning in early January, Kathryn Milun sits at a table in the back corner of a Tempe coffee shop, hunched over a huge stack of papers. Not long ago, that stack might have held papers to grade. Milun used to be a popular professor at ASU. But…

Newsaxon.com, the neo-Nazi MySpace, with hot racist chicks galore.

Forgottensoul88: The face of hate never looked so cute. White-trash pinheads who dig Adolf Hitler, swastikas, and worshippin’ Wotan now have a place to let their fascist freak flags fly without worrying about what Zionists and race-mixers have to say. It’s called Newsaxon.com, a racist MySpace, with nearly 2,000 members…

Jarrett and Goliath

“With the people’s David in the race, we’re going to slay the Phil-istine giant,” the Reverend Jarrett Maupin II informed this cynical sandgrouse, referring to his just-announced campaign against Phoenix Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon, the cash-bloated Goliath to Maupin’s slingshot-bearin’ David. “Who’re the Philistines?” continued the 19-year-old Rev, while getting…
