Jan Brewer-Governor of Arizona-Just Wow

September 4, 2010September 2, 2010 John Arizona, Debate, Governor, Jan Brewer

OK, so things are a little crazy in Arizona lately. I know they’re so concerned about the hordes of illegal aliens running over the boarder and destroying our economy (which the good bankers on Wall Street spent so much time creating for us), that they have to a pass a law that flies in the face of the Constitution. But I think opening statement in a recent gubanatorial debate for Arizona Governor explains a lot. It doesn’t get much freakier than this. I thought it might be a Saturday Night Live skit at first. As the title says, “Just Wow!”

Tim Curtis Gets My Vote for U.S. House

August 4, 2010August 5, 2010 John 11th congressional district, Cathy Castor, Tim Curtis

OK, I admit I’d not given much thought to the Democratic Primary for 11th Congressional District. I’m not overly impressed with Cathy Castor, but she’s generally socially progressive, so I expected to vote for her. I frankly didn’t even know she had an opponent. That changed tonight, and Tim Curtis has earned my vote.

Wired.com has a story out of Kansas about a copier salesman who is Suing his former employer for wrongful termination. His claim is that his boss sent out e-mail telling employees they would be fired for voting for Obama. I’m not convinced on this one. What do you think about bringing electoral politics into the workplace?

LDS Prophets Experience Sudden Revelations

January 31, 2009 John California, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, LDS, Proposition 8

Jim Burroway at Box Turtle Bulletin seems to have found out why the Proposition 8 people were so hell bent in trying to prohibit the release of the names of donors to their campaign to take away the rights of Gay people in California. It seems the LDS had way more to do with this than they were claiming. (And by the Church, I mean the church corporate…not just “members.”) Burroway reports they had 190,000 reasons to prevent the disclosure. Seems the LDS provided lots of official corporate support and in-kind services.
