Former Democratic Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer resigned from the office in disgrace after it was revealed he cheated on his wife over and over and over again with a prostitute, but now he can totally be trusted to keep New York City’s finances in order. I mean, it’s not like he’s ever lied • Read More »
When will Arizona’s mayors follow after their colleagues in other states? New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns is finding it hard to keep its membership up, thanks to dozens of resignations and lost elections over the last few months.

Earlier this year, I wrote, If a politician, ANY politician, isn’t comfortable with you taking charge of defending your life, they’re not comfortable with you taking charge of your health care or your retirement or children’s education. If politicians want to be in charge of decided when and how you can keep yourself alive, they’ll • Read More »
Let’s do the rundown, shall we? Single-party rule? Check. Endemic corruption? Check. Civil unrest and breakdown of public safety? Check. Massive debt? Check, check and triple check. Failed attempts to revitalize the economy with massive government infrastructure? Check. So rather than spend more money on yet another massive project to “jumpstart” the Motor City, why • Read More »
Let’s review: Angela Corey was the prosecutor in Zimmeran case, who concealed evidence from the defense and has a long and inglorious history of overcharging and using her office as a political weapon. Lois Lerner was the head of the IRS’s non-profit division, piled regulation and regulation on top of conservative and “Tea Party” groups, • Read More »

Jim Sharpe, James Allen and myself talk about news, politics and culture and stuff, and I make a WILDLY incorrect prediction regarding the Zimmerman trial. All this, and Star Trek too, over at KFYI.com.
It’s not something they like to brag about, but there several Arizona Mayors who belong to Mik “Call Me Ahab” Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAI. With dozens of mayors listed on their website and the backing of Michael Bloomberg’s billions, you’d think that Arizona politicians would be GLAD to support such an august organization. • Read More »

What do you get when you mix 14,000 pounds of high explosives, 20,000 gallons of gasoline and a case of road flares? I don’t know, but I know the results of that mixture won’t be HALF as exciting as what happens when Jim Sharpe, James Allen and myself get together over at KFYI. More • Read More »
New York City police detective used the FBI database to figure out which woman to kidnap.

X – The Fourth Of July, off of “See How We Are”, written by Dave Alvin.
Because of things like this. RCMP have admitted that they forcibly entered flooded homes in High River, ostensibly to look for stranded people and pets, and then seized firearms left behind in those homes.
