The politician doesn’t grow more human with age. In the end, he becomes a wharf rat. –Henry David Thoreau The governor spoke at the Republican party’s annual meeting the other day. “The trouble with our prisons in Arizona is that we don’t have the concept of arduous labor,” J. Fife…
Thanks to a breach in Governor Fife Symington’s security, I now know the nature of his executive secretary’s testimony before the grand jury last week.

W.H. “Moose” Graham sat slack-jawed and panting in the defendant’s box in a Pinal County courtroom in Florence last Friday morning, his big, gray head poking out of orange prison garb. He was waiting for Judge Robert Bean to formally charge him with first-degree murder in the 1992 shooting death…

You can take this year’s Super Bowl and shove it. Once again, the National Football League is giving us the Buffalo Bills and the hateful Dallas Cowboys. Things are in a desperate state. Is there a more loathsome, irksome individual than Jimmy Johnson, the cement-haired coach of the Cowboys? How…
