Sweeney, Torrez: A tale of two Daily Star articles »
You can draw your own conclusions but the Arizona Daily Star used noticeably different adjectives in describing two fringe perennial candidates for political office upon the passing of each, as seen below.

Star: water hose reference bad…sometimes »
The Daily Star took issue with something that Bruce Ash said. That is no surprise. In fact, it is expected. Even if they have to engage in hypocrisy to do it. In a recent message he stated that Republican voters in Tucson are disenfranchised. The Daily Star took issue with images from the Jim Crow [...]
Daily Star oblivious to their own self-contradiction »
The Daily Star today said that comparing anything in local politics to the Middle East was “trivializing the blood spilled in Middle East conflicts.” So, Arizona Daily Star, you ran this cartoon in the same paper today. This isn’t trivializing the death of 18,000 people? Talk about self-contradiction in the same issue. Sure, a cut [...]

UPDATED: Tea and a Show in the 7th »

Rodney Glassman apparently now plagiarizing his opponent’s name. Seriously, the largest newspaper in the state? That is one a monumental blunder.

But this John Glassman also has a [...]
Updated…Elton to boycott ringleaders: [blank] you very much »
Listening to Jon Justice this morning I heard him read an email from a listener relaying a story about the Elton John concert. During the concert, Sir Elton didn’t mince words about those demanding that he boycott Arizona and cancel his concert as a protest of SB 1070. We won’t repeat his exact words but [...]
D’Oh!!! Oil crisis pre-empts Simpsons rerun! »
From the “way to funny to pass up” file, this graphic aired on the 9:00 news here in Tucson on Fox Channel 11. This pretty much speaks for itself. It’s a crisis, the President addresses an anxious nation, and he has to share the bill with a ten year old Simpsons rerun. The bloom is off the rose.
Tucson Weekly–don’t expect the whole story »
