Tranny Tweeter

Aside from rumors of the dodo’s demise during his time spent writing last week’s cover story, “The Yoda of 9/11,” the most rib-ticklin’ this rooster’s received of late has been from observing Sand Land’s liberal elites fall over themselves to offer Zonies a tranny in every bog, a chick with…

Danger Ahead

After the tragic highway collapse in Minneapolis two weeks ago, Governor Janet Napolitano assigned the Arizona Department of Transportation to inspect every highway bridge in Arizona. Of course, there was no real worry, she said, but she wanted to make an “extra effort” to ensure our safety. Exactly seven days…

The Bong Show

The glass glows dull red, like a campfire ember, above the gas torch. The young artist, sitting on a stool in front of a wooden bench with a metal top, works with confident, quick motions, creating a tube by fusing white glass sticks together around a one-inch-thick cylinder of graphite…

Klan Grand Wizard Joe Arpaio?

KTAR’s Darrell Ankkkarlo ain’t on Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s payroll, as far as I know, but he might as well be. Seems Ankarlow-brow made a big deal about the photoshopped pic above on his show today, as if this might be beyond the pale somehow. Looks like a very legitimate political…

Noam Chomsky and the 9/11 nutbars: Why they suck and he doesn’t.

Chomsky on the moonbats: “The evidence that’s been produced [in favor of 9/11 conspiracy theories], in my opinion, is essentially worthless.” Back to David Ray Griffin soon, but I wanted to make some points about so-called left gatekeepers, Noam Chomsky and whether or not the 9/11 “truth” movement is left-wing,…

Why David Ray Griffin is full of merde, Part I.

David Ray Griffin, laughing all the way to the bank? Retired religion prof. David Ray Griffin is currently the leading intellectual light of the 9/11 movement, a position once held, it could be argued, by bombastic saliva-spewer Jim Fetzer, himself a professor of philosophy. Of course, being the leading light…

We have a winner in our Star Wars trivia contest…

Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. A winner we have in our Star Wars trivia contest. The question was why the photo pictured above would be physically impossible in George Lucas’ fantasy realm. Though a couple of Star Wars geeks in-house knew the answer, they couldn’t…

9/11 Star Wars Trivia Contest

What’s wrong with this pic? Why is it physically impossible in the Star Wars realm? I’m throwing this contest out for any and all local Star Wars fanatics who may have been boggled by the whole Jedi theme for the cover story this week The Yoda of 9/11. Actually, you…

Dylan Avery discusses balls; Uh, not his own, of course.

Can someone cue “Three Blind Mice”? So Dylan Avery likes talking about balls, and doods with balls in their mouths. Hey, that’s his mature way of responding to critics, by using all that homoerotic imagery floating around his noggin’. As Jerry Seinfeld might say, not that there’s anything wrong with…

Letters From the Issue of Thursday, August 9, 2007

ROAD WORRIER Try living in the Windy City: I completely disagree with your assessment of Phoenix being America’s “worst-designed” major city (“The Big Cheesy,” Sarah Fenske, August 2). I lived in Chicago for nearly 35 years before coming out to Phoenix three years ago. There’s no comparison between Phoenix and…

The Llamas and the Papas

Ive run into a problem with my wife. Id like to proudly display our last name on the back window of the family car, but she wont allow it. How can I convince her that its a long and honored Mexican tradition to do so? Tejano Rick P.S.: How and…

Taken for a (Bus) Ride

For years, people have argued about who really runs Phoenix. The mayor? The city manager? City Council? But when it comes to city buses, the answer is all too clear. It’s a bunch of French businessmen. Seriously. As it turns out, most of the municipal buses in Phoenix, as well…

The Yoda of 9/11

It’s late afternoon at a conference of 9/11 conspiracy theorists in Chandler, and Pat Curley’s been batting away the intellectual softballs for a half-hour or so from a lady named Lynn Pentz, in town from La-La Land for the wingding that went down in February at the Crowne Plaza San…

The Onion vs.the Weekly World News

Well, that explains everything… I know there are people out there who think The Onion is the greatest comedy rag since National Lampoon or Spy, but I’ve always found it hit or miss. On my bulletin board is one of the hits: “Food Critic Tears Radish Canapés With Salmon Mousse…

George Cortez, Jr., widow Tiffany Cortez and the Dr. Phil show.

Tiffany Cortez, from a photo on http://www.myspace.com/misstiffycortez, copied onto the AZPunk.com site. Normally, it’s bad form to speak ill of the dead, but not necessarily on that self-appointed online arbiter of all things badass, AZPunk.com, where some posters to the site have laid into fallen PHX police officer George Cortez,…
