From the Maricopa County Attorney's Office:
Good afternoon

I attended a meeting yesterday where Dana Kennedy, Phoenix City Council candidate, spoke to a group of small business people. The response to the speech was quite underwhelming, and only two people had questions for her.
The first question asked how she thinks [...]

The Arizona Republic chastised Arizona State Senator Pamela Gorman yesterday for failed leadership when she was Senate Majority Whip. Yet not two sentences later, they chastise her for not "being a team player." Huh?
A person who is a leader is by definition not a team player. Leaders lead, followers [...]
I received an email from Sam Wercinski today, former AZ Real Estate Commissioner, announcing his campaign for AZ Secretary of State. Two things are interesting. One is that it came to my business email address, which is on file with the Arizona Department of Real [...]
Eddie Basha is running around the state begging Arizonan's to support his homegrown company. The company has apparently been hit with hard times due to people no longer eating during the economic downturn. Or it could be mismanagement, we're not sure.
Many other business leaders, including Ira Fulton, whose company [...]
State Senator Pamela Gorman seems to be caught in a Sarah Palin conundrum regarding the state budget - follow your conscience and do what's right for your constituents, and what they elected you to do, or bow to political [...]
I remember well when Pan Am 103 was eviscerated in the air just before Christmas, on 21 December 1988. The brother of my brother's friend was on that flight, and his parents lived just down the street from mine. Out of respect for their privacy, I'll call him Jack, but [...]
Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker is testing the waters for a gubernatorial run in Arizona. Quick to oppose him are some politicos who would rather crush a potentially strong candidate than learn the truth.
Mr. Parker has been accused by the Small Business Administration's Office of [...]

On the heals of a great Stanley Cup playoff, it has become apparent that Phoenix is indeed a hockey town. More and more people are interested in hockey in Phoenix each year.

In my 8 years in Phoenix, nothing has brought me greater radio joy than the firing of Bruce Jacobs from KFYI radio.
Jacobs, a poorly informed host on his best day, was a vehement anti-Catholic bigot who expressed his desire for the Church to cease to exist.
With the exception [...]
Republicans have taken flak lately for being willing to lose Colin Powell as a Republican. Good riddance, many say, since Powell supported Obama and has questionable Republican values.
Republicans are usually willing to kick fallen members from their ranks in an effort to retain a purified ideological core. In essence, if [...]

I can't help but comment on the unnecessary destruction of the party, and people within it, as a result of petty, gotcha style politics at the hands of some perhaps well meaning, but woefully misdirected Republican bloggers.
My fellow bloggers would be wise to learn from past media mistakes that have proven [...]
Obama has yet another nonimation scandal on his hands. One has to wonder whether, when he proclaimed ethics would lead his administration, he didn't mean ethnics. By ethnics, I am not referring to race, but instead the liberal culture which is so often corrupted by power, influence, and a lack [...]
The questions asked of President Obama at last night's press conference were nothing short of journalistic fellacio.
For example, a New York Times reporter asked Mr. Obama to describe his most "enchanting moment" at the White House. That's a question befitting a sycophant trying to live vicariously more than it is [...]
In the last several months, I have submitted four short sale offers to Citibank and Countrywide. Despite having fax receipts, the banks claim they never received the documents, several times. And on another occasion, Countrywide, having waited several months to review the documents, decided the documents were too old and [...]
Jana Bommersbach, in the recent issue of Phoenix Magazine, lambastes Jan Brewer for not knowing what cuts to make to balance the budget. It's hilarious that the personification of not knowing when to stop thinks she can give our Governor advice. Like calories consumed and [...]
Dear Fr. Jenkins,
I am saddened and heavy of heart about your decision to invite President Obama to speak at Notre Dame University and even to receive an honorary degree.
It is a public act of disobedience to the Bishops of the United States. Our USCCB June 2004 Statement "Catholics [...]
The petition to stop the scandal of having abortion advocate and embryo testing advocate Barack Obama from speaking at the Notre Dame graduation is averaging 1130 signatures per hour. If you haven't signed it yet, please do so here.
It is critically important that Notre Dame, one of the nation's [...]
I sit here stunned. I am a life long Catholic, and a practicing one at that. I am also a life long Notre Dame fan, particularly football.
Right now, I can barely put my disappointment to words that ND has invited the most pro-choice, anti child, anti embryo president in [...]
In the turbulent wake of increasing abortion funding using taxpayer dollars, his reversal of a ban on killing babies for stem cell research, and his past comments about how God's greatest gift is a "punishment," is it any wonder that Obama places such little value on [...]
This time in front of Congress and the national media. She favors open borders, and is accusing Sheriff Joe of criminal behavior for rounding up her illegal supporters

Auto dealers, along with the automakers, apparently still don't get it. Americans buy cars for a variety of reasons, but perhaps the most [...]
Tom Horne is telling everyone who will listen that he is running for Attorney General (http://tomhorneexploratory.com/) but his campaign can't seem to get any steam. Could it be because he's too liberal for most Republicans?
He's tangled with the Goldwater Institute over school [...]
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has expressed that Arizona may need to raise taxes to cover budget shortfalls.
Imagine walking into your boss' office and saying, "Boss, I realize I only make $40k per year, and I knew that in advance, but I went ahead [...]
The Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee just released its endorsements for the upcoming Gilbert primary.

In only 120 days since Obama was elected, the DJIA has dropped [...]
On Rush Limbaugh's radio show yesterday, he discussed how some so-called conservative bloggers are biting the poisoned liberal fruit and coming out against him and in favor of Obama's policies. Not this blogger, and not any blogger with true Conservative credentials. I would bet that [...]
We all remember the barking dogs scaring the alleged terrorist inmates at Abu Ghraib, the infamous Iraqi prison where the US Military kept enemy combatants. American liberals were in an uproar about the inmates having to endure the barking dogs and loud music. [...]
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said this week, " "I am committed to protecting Arizonans' right to make informed decisions about their medical care. I will aggressively pursue any company that deceives consumers and puts profit ahead of patient well-being." See story.

After spending over two years criticizing President Bush on going to war, President Obama put 17,000 more American troops in harms way today, while chastising Bush for not doing it earlier.
It seems Obama can't implement policy without slamming Bush, and appearing hugely hypocritical.

I'm watching the Obama speech in Indiana and he just said that "No one is looking for a handout." Is he delusional?
Obama also just said that 90% of the jobs provided for in the stimulus will be private sector jobs. That means that 10% of them will be government [...]
Senator Claire McCaskill and Congressperson Barney Frank outright lie to the American people on Meet the Press. Frank and McCaskill are telling the people that if the stimulus doesn't pass, firefighters and policemen across the country will be laid off. They are saying that the 1 trillion dollar stimulus is [...]
