Naui's footage from Saturday's neo-Nazi demo in Riverside, CA shows that even 12 NSM members can mean trouble, if the cops aren't on their game. About a dozen neo-Nazis from the National Socialist Movement got run out of Riverside,CA on the proverbial hot rail on Saturday. The swastika-lickers were protesting illegal...

By playing a solid nine innings of baseball Wednesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks helped keep the race to win the National League West an interesting one. In their 4-3 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field, Dan Haren was excellent, the defense was airtight, and strikeout king Mark...
How much stock should one put in a team's performance during the NFL preseason? In our opinion, not a damn thing. That's why Arizona Cardinals' fans should give a rousing "so what?" and "who cares?" when talking about the team's zero-win preseason. Yeah, the starting offense only tallied one touchdown...

Thin Line Between Love and Heat
He assures us that his skin cancer is a result of youthful recklessness, not his current lifestyle. Now he's an old man who spends weekends hanging out by the pool and playing water volley ball. He's also stark naked, but that's cool because so is everyone else. This guy, who...

Early in Shane Acker's computer-animated debut feature 9, a diminutive anthropomorphic whatsit with wooden hands, copper fingers, and the titular numeral emblazoned on his chest awakens to the lifeless body of his human creator and sets forth into a decimated industrial landscape — all twisted metal and smokestacks — that...
Its practice is even dumber than its name. "Horse tripping," a "sport" where "cowboys" track and literally trip a running horse, is expected to be outlawed by Governor Jan Brewer today. "Few horses survive, and it usually results in broken legs, internal damage, and death," Phoenix Councilwoman Thelda Williams tells the Arizona...
Archaic Cessation at Joe's Grotto (Friday) Halloween's not for another couple weeks, so get yourself in the mood for ghosts and goblins with an evening of horrific and creepy death metal from this fearsome foursome. Losing God, Fail to Reason, and Anomaly will also perform. 8 p.m., $5. (13825 North...
It's official: Mark Reynolds, Justin Upton, and the rest of your 2009 Arizona Diamondbacks won't have a shot at this year's Fall Classic. While said factoid has pretty much been a forgone conclusion since like, uh, May, it didn't become set in stone until Friday evening's 6-3 loss to the...
It's tough times for home-grown supermarket chain Bashas', which is closing 10 of its 156 Arizona Bashas' and Food City stores (seven located in the Valley) on July 21. The Chandler-based company filed for bankruptcy protection yesterday, reports the Republic. Up to 1,000 employees may be laid off as a result of...
Recall the ancient schmuck at the beginning of this video? Count him as one more reason you can give posse members the raspberries with impunityEver wonder who the pathetic wannabes are that populate Sheriff Joe's posse? You know, the semi-senile geriatrics who patrol the malls at Christmas time, and aid and...

Scottsdale-based company Redflex Traffic Solutions Inc. is developing a solar-powered photo enforcement camera. The company has an agreement with Tempe-based Arizona Solar Concepts to design the cameras, but both companies refuse to elaborate until the project is further along. A Redflex spokesperson says the cameras are "not roadworthy" yet...A Mesa...

The Arizona Republic has already noted that Macayo's, which was President Barack Obama's pick for Mexican food on Saturday night, is not the gold standard of Mexican food in the Valley. A quick check of Maricopa County's restaurant-inspection Web site shows how true that is. The Central Avenue landmark eatery scored only a "silver"...
Hard Luck got his ticket punched during the third inning when his first pitch to four-time All-Star infielder Chase Utley became a two-run homer. His nightmare continued in the fifth as Jimmy Rollins smacked a line-drive double and Shane Victorino hit a grounder single before watching Ryan Howard clear the bases from...
Ethics-twister, Mexican-basher and tireless self-aggrandizing lip-flapper Darrell Ankarlo, winner of the 2008 New Times Best Bigot Award for constantly being down on the brown during his morning show on KTAR 92.3 FM, will once more muck up the airwaves this Tuesday, September 15 after a long, involuntary hiatus caused by a car crash,...
Nine years ago, when the city of Phoenix last issued a request for proposals for taxicab service at Sky Harbor airport, it chose three experienced companies: AAA, Discount, and Allstate. This year, it's selecting a one-week-old start-up — and a firm based out of a UPS store. That sounds crazy,...

It came to my attention yesterday that former Doobie Brother/Kenny Loggins partner-in-crime Michael McDonald had collaborated with Brooklyn indie rockers Grizzly Bear for their new single "While You Wait for the Others." I saw the news, felt a general amount of whimsy and went about my day. Fast forward to...
South Phoenix's Roosevelt School District, historically one of the Valley's worst-performing districts, made an impressive gain in test scores in 2009. The district announced today that students performed 9 percent better in math and 10 percent better in reading on the AIMS test. That puts the district in better...
Why anyone buys any of the shameless bull that flows forth from the MCSO's PR team like a mighty river of bunk is beyond me. Take this latest, bogus claim from the sheriff of a legal victory in the big ACLU racial profiling lawsuit, Melendres v. Arpaio: "SHERIFF WINS IMPORTANT...
As evidenced by The Informant!, it's a hell of a tricky thing turning real-life pulp into floss sugar. The story of Archer Daniels Midland biochemist-exec-turned-crooked-federal-snitch Mark Whitacre is a tragicomedy. Journalist Kurt Eichenwald spent five years trailing the bipolar fuck-up, and his 2000 book, The Informant, is so densely, richly...
