I'm not sure what the highlight of Wednesday's big tea-bag-Obama-hate-fest at the Capitol was for me.

To cop a line from that Don McLean song, somewhere Satan is laughing in delight. And Zona Republicans are laughing right along with him. This, at the news that Arizona state Democratic Party Chair Paul Eckerstrom has resigned his post after scoring an upset victory against former state party chair...
Andrew Thomas and Joe Arpaio have won another round in their fight to bust illegal immigrants for smuggling themselves into the country.

Waiter Confidential: To Die For
Halfway through Bryant Wilkerson's trial for manslaughter, aggravated assault, and a host of other felony counts, a juror had an interesting question for Judge Teresa Sanders. The question has yet to be posted to the public record, so I can't tell you the precise phrasing. But the gist was this:...
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that every breath test result on an Intoxilyzer 8000 is inaccurate," Nesci says.

Just got off the phone with Scottsdale Presiding Judge B. Monte Morgan about the wording of his court's photo-enforcement tickets, which we took issue with yesterday in this blog. As we discussed previously, we think the wording on the summons makes it seem like ignoring the ticket will definitely result...
If Joaquin Phoenix, who plays a lovelorn bachelor in James Gray's Two Lovers, were 12 years old, the movie might make a touching, if not noticeably fresh, romantic drama for tweens. Not that adults don't nurse unhealthy crushes and regress madly under the pressure of hopeless infatuation, which may be...

Portraits of a Nation
Last summer, Margarite Dale went on a spending spree. The 44-year-old Glendale mom bought two computers — a monitor, desktop, and laptop, plus a full set of software for both. Total cost: $2,409. And she didn't stop there. In just a few weeks' time, Dale also purchased a $709 camera...

CRIMINALLY BROWN Joe's an attention whore — nothing more: There's nothing left to the imagination about this story. It's crystal clear what Joe Arpaio is up to here. He's hassling every brown-skinned person he can find, in the hopes he will find an illegal alien or two to [get kicked]...
JUST DESERTERS Pardon them: The point in "No Canada" about this being a "poverty draft" is a good one. Though these people enlisted and weren't drafted, their pitiful circumstances at home made the military the best job option they could find. Then they get to Iraq and find out what...
NBA bad boy Stephen Jackson has found a home in Golden State. We're not big Mike D'Antoni fans. As electric as his six-and-shoot system was during the Phoenix days, it was a paper tiger that bared its cardboard fangs come playoff time. Plus, the dude began to buy into his...
Black metal beast Abigail Williams came screeching out of the Arizona desert a few years ago to much acclaim with its 2007 EP, Legend. Metalunderground.com and Hardcoresounds.net gave the band props, and Kerrang! wrote that they "have taken fresh-faced metal down the left hand path" and "the result is obscenely...
