ACORN’s passed along to me this subpoena that Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s been bragging about to the media, and though it’s a clear fishing expedition on the part of Arpaio’s attorney in the Melendres v. Arpaio case, let’s just say that it doesn’t exactly jibe with what the sheriff’s office has asserted in…
Sheriff Arpaio’s boys in beige have begun a war within a war against those who observe them — activists armed with video cameras who listen to police scanners during Arpaio’s racial profiling sweeps and scramble to find the stop and capture it on camera. During the last sweep — which occurred…
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office press releases are known for being as dependable as dispatches from the Flat Earth Society. But this latest one informing the public about Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s lickspittle attorney Timothy Casey’s latest legal maneuver jumps the proverbial shark. Casey, known for killing whole forests to produce the reams of paper he buries his…
Tasty bud, cool babes and a cause you can believe in: Now that’s a movement, people. And you can join up this Saturday at 24th Street and Camelback where Phoenix NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) will be rallying locally as part of a worldwide demonstration on behalf…
If you ever find yourself a “visitor” at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, don’t expect them to roll out the red carpet; in fact, don’t even expect to have any sort of unimpeded human contact.The Sheriff’s Office, on the 19th floor of the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Phoenix, has just installed…
I took up Phoenix libertarian Ernie Hancock’s invite to be on his Webcast Wednesday morning, after much prodding from Hancock and his supporters. Alas, I couldn’t make it into the studio. (Sorry, Ernie, I’ve never been an a.m. person.) Still, we spent a whole two hours jabbering about everything from Tempe Obama-hate-preacher Steven…
I’ve been under the gun recently, so I haven’t had time to post pics and give a little report of what happened this past Sunday at Tempe’s Faithful Word Baptist Church, home of the Obama-must-die pastor Stephen Anderson. The crowd of protesters led by local activist Leonard Clark was much smaller this…
Maricopa County Elections Department Director Karen Osborne referred the SCA case to his office earlier this month — saying she’d found reasonable cause to believe that “a number of individuals and entities acted alone and in concert” to violate state campaign finance law.But Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas hasn’t decided…
I don’t know about the devil goin’ down to Georgia, but Sheriff Joe did go down to Houston this weekend to pimp the pack of bogus yarns in his 2008 tome Joe’s Law. You know, the one wherein he claims credit for busting the French Connection, says he pulled over…
I’d be inclined to overlook this “Eric Luke” — a Scottsdale musician-hipster, and apparent frame shop employee (nothing hip about that), who recently Twittered a wish to shoot the President “in the fuckin back of the head…oh boy.” However, I see that political blog sites such as DemocraticUnderground, Political Carnival, and Donna…
Obama is a Nazi. Obama is a commie. Obama is a pirate. (Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum.) Obama is a socialist. Obama is the Joker from The Dark Night. (You know, Heath Ledger) Yadda-yadda-yadda. Such was the refrain from the tea party-animals at the Arizona State Capitol this Saturday,…
Ed Begley, Jr. disowns his past troofer connections, while discussing Van Jones’ political seppuku Eight years following the 9/11 attacks, with a new president under our belts, all lefties still clinging to the conspiranoid fantasy that “9/11 was an inside job,” need to either do full mea culpas and disassociate…
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,…
It’s hard to keep track of all the facts, rumors and spin-jobs in this SCA story. For instance, Captain Joel Fox claims he never “filed” nominating petitions in 2004 for his boss, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, as had been previously reported. He merely collected eight signatures and handed…

Mexican flag-burnin’ nativist Laine Lawless may have some ‘splainin’ to do. According to a report in the Everett, Washington Daily Herald, the newspaper that’s been the most dogged in following their hometown minutewoman and accused child-killer Shawna Forde, Lawless may have visited with Forde and an alleged accomplice hours after a…
“You have an immaculate record. Some guys don’t trust an immaculate record. I do. I have an immaculate record.” — Captain Ellerby, from The Departed. We recalled this quote while looking recently at the 200-page personnel file of Captain Joel Fox. Fox, as regular readers of this blog know, is…
Ever get the feeling we’re in the midst of some mass psychosis regarding the President of the United States on the part of those who hate his guts? For example, anti-Obama groups regularly use Nazi imagery in describing or illustrating Obama. Obama is depicted as Adolf Hitler, and or dressed…
Weirdness of weirdness. I was only hoping to do one blog post today, but fate took another turn. I ended back up in Tempe, thinking protest organizer Leonard Clark might be doing another anti-Steven Anderson action for Anderson’s 6:30 p.m. service. When I got there, Clark was being interviewed by ABC…
It was love vs. hate, round one, down at the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe this morn, as about 125 soldiers of love, led by local progressive activist Leonard Clark, took on the Pastor of Hate, aka, Obama-despiser Steven Anderson, who was preaching to his tiny flock during the…
With mariachis, dancing, ice cream cake, and even a brief appearance by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Phoenix civil rights leader Salvador Reza and fellow activists celebrated one year of near-daily protests at the Wells Fargo Building downtown, where Arpaio’s MCSO keeps two floors of pricey executive offices, paid for by county…
