When it comes to restaurant decor, there's nothing worse than walls that never change. If you're only popping by once or twice for a meal, no big deal. But if you enjoy the grub enough to make repeated visits, it would be nice to see something new. 'Cause it sucks when,...

The Arizona Guardian online news outfit that we told you about after its launch last month has gone to a sort of pay-per-view format and now wants up to $150 a month from subscribers. For that lofty price, four former East Valley Tribune staffers (with help from their sponsor, Democratic consultant Bob Grossfeld) will...
Proving once more that the anti-Arpaio march that went down this weekend in Phoenix has, um, legs, both the Huffington Post and the New York Times editorial board have put their respective two cents in on the Zack de la Rocha-led anti-Arpaio protest. The Huffington Post had a two-woman film crew on...
In my five years of covering the local music scene for New Times, I've seen some pretty crazy things happen at the Trunk Space. I've witnessed lobster-handed ladies, full grown men dressed as diaper-clad babies, and even half-naked body modification artists piercing their supple flesh with gleaming steel hooks. But...
Just got word that the cease-and-desist motion filed by Maricopa County Andrew Thomas to stop the county from taking over civil litigation matters has failed. Superior Court Judge Donald Daughton rejected the motion. As we were the first to report on Monday, the county Board of Supervisors voted to...

Maricopa County will close a family planning clinic, put off non-crucial building maintenance, reduce cleaning services and make other changes because of a $32.6 million budget cut. Revenues are coming in even slower than expected, forcing the Board of Supervisors to approve the latest cuts and eliciting hard-nosed promises by...
Scottsdale has quietly begun to thwart photo enforcement violators who try to dodge process servers, repeatedly motioning the city court to allow tickets to be mailed or posted to a scofflaw's front door. Thanks to efforts by New Times and others, most Arizonans now understand the limitations of photo enforcement tickets. Unless the violator is...
Talk about a nightmare. According to a lawsuit recently filed by a Mexican citizen, a busted tail light could earn you seven days in the county jail -- even if you're here legally and all your papers are in order. Martin V. Flores was stopped by a Phoenix police officer...
First, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors strips County Attorney Andrew Thomas of the right to handle civil litigation for the county, causing Thomas to sue the board. Now, the five-member board wants to bring Thomas in to a special meeting on Monday to get his advice on -- you...
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED Where's the justice?: Paul Rubin did a superb job of weaving together all the madness in the Doug Grant investigation and trial. As Rubin noted, this trial goes to show that "what really happened" has nothing to do with a jury's decision. The whole situation's really quite...
There's nothing like knowing something is worth an expensive pricetag -- as long as you've got little choice but to pay for it. Days after a prominent Arizona Republic story about how lawmakers are scrambling to find funds for the cash-poor Arizona Department of Public Safety crime lab, the agency...

The Edge 103.9 appears to have finally gotten a clue. For the past two months I've berated the local alt-rock station for its habit of booking aging '90s throwbacks like Marcy Playground and Sponge to headline the Third Thursday concert series in Scottsdale (sample my vitriol here and here) instead...
As blogged previously, when Lou Dobbs had ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis and the Rev. Al Sharpton on his show recently to talk about Dobbs' pal Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Arpaio's racial profilin' ways, the pair tag-teamed CNN's alter kocker nativist, leaving him punch-drunk in his corner. Dobbs and Lewis in...

Everyone Hates The Awful Truth
There was never really too much doubt that Scottsdale's Scott MacIntyre would make the Idol Top 12, but last night "America" (as Seadouche condescendingly refers to the tiny percentage of the American population that actually watches the show) made it official. Scotty the Body (as Seadouche condescendingly refers to Scott)...
Since November, at least four dogs have gotten sick and one has died from poisoning after eating laced meat at Carriage Lane Park in Mesa. The owners of the afflicted canines have had to fight to get a case opened with Mesa's Animal Control Department, which is short-staffed after a...
I had been hoping that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus would take a thick paddle to Janet Napolitano's ever-generous backside when they met with the new DHS head for the first time today. But, alas, some of our congressional leaders are as worthless as a week-old bowl of menudo. If they...

I won't even pretend to understand exactly what artist Karolina Sussland is doing in "Goodness...in Progress," a one-day-only showing of Sussland's latest artistic foray mounted on Saturday at Figarelli Galleries Back Room in Scottsdale's Cattletrack artists' compound. In fact, I am so mathematically challenged that I usually start drooling and...
The biggest game in Arizona Cardinals history -- the second-biggest in Arizona sports history -- is over, and what can we take away from it? Sure the Cardinals snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but they certainly had the odds-makers in Vegas sweating. For the fourth game in a...
The racial profiling case launched on behalf of several Valley residents by the American Civil Liberties Union against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has been allowed to proceed by a federal judge. In her ruling yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Mary Murguia rejected a call by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office...
What's there to do this weekend? A lot. Unless you've been living under a rock somewhere (or haven't been reading Up on the Sun much lately), you probably aware that fearless freak Wayne Coyne and the rest of the Flaming Lips are performing on Saturday at the massive multi-day McDowell...
