See What Crazy Eileen Started – UPDATED
We all remember Crazy Eileen, one of the first birthers to go public. Well, Arizona, not satisfied with being the batshit crazy place it’s become, has just added a new ingredient to the mix – birtherism. Their Secretary of State has indicated he may not allow President Obama’s name to appear on the ballot because he’s not convinced he was born in the US.
Arizona Continues Its War on Women
Arizona continues to push its way into the Deep South with Gov. Jan Brewer recently signing two bills. The first outlaws abortions after 20 weeks and the second “that bans the state or any local government from using public money to contract with an organization that includes abortions in its services.”
In Arizona All Women Are Pregnant Before They’re, Well… Pregnant
I get that Republicans don’t understand biology, but this is nuts. Life starts earliest in Arizona, which now defines gestational age as beginning on the first day of a woman’s last period, rather than at fertilization. In practice, that means the state has banned abortions after about 18 weeks (20 weeks from the last menstruation) […]
Me No Speaka Da English
Apparently, you need to speak the Queen’s English in order to run for office in Arizona. At least that’s what some county judge ruled in Yuma today.
What’s A Governor to Do?
Arizona governor Jan Brewer’s lawsuit against the Obama administration over the security of the border with Mexico has been tossed by the courts. Brewer’s suit was a counter-claim against the Administration’s suit over Arizona’s draconian immigration enforcement law.
Now We Know What This Birther Nonsense Is About
The Arizona legislature vies for the title of most insane. (Spoiler: I think they’re winning.)
Why We Won’t Be Considering Arizona Universities
It’s college search time in the Pandora household, and while we compared various universities by programs we didn’t expect to have to factor guns into the equation. Arizona House Bill 2001 which was filed mid-December would allow faculty to “possess a concealed firearm on the grounds of a community college … a provisional community college […]
Armed And Thinking
I think Joe Zamudio was very lucky and very wise in his split second decision making. Please read the entire article. If you haven’t heard about Mr. Zamudio, he’s the guy who heard the shots fired and ran toward them. He was armed. But before we embrace Zamudio’s brave intervention as proof of the value […]
The Tea Party In Delaware And Arizona Have A Lot In Common
In the words of Mistermix, What The Hell Is Happening In Arizona? A nasty battle between factions of Legislative District 20 Republicans and fears that it could turn violent in the wake of what happened in Tucson on Saturday prompted District Chairman Anthony Miller and several others to resign. Miller, a 43-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident […]
Hey, I Found Those Republican Death Panels
Heartbreakingly cruel. PHOENIX — Even physicians with decades of experience telling patients that their lives are nearing an end are having difficulty discussing a potentially fatal condition that has arisen in Arizona: Death by budget cut. Effective at the beginning of October, Arizona stopped financing certain transplant operations under the state’s version of Medicaid. Many […]
Arizona Takes The Lead In The Dumbest State Contest
Arizona for the gold. In an era saturated with absurd moments of anti-Muslim fear-mongering, mosques have become a touchstone for Islamophobia. Even unbuilt mosques have set off a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in Tennessee, Texas, California, and most notably, New York. Not to be outdone, the people of Pheonix, AZ were quick to call foul […]
Constitution Smonstitution
Buoyed by recent public opinion polls suggesting they’re on the right track with illegal immigration, Arizona Republicans will likely introduce legislation this fall that would deny birth certificates to children born in Arizona – and thus American citizens according to the U.S. Constitution – to parents who are not legal U.S. citizens. The law largely […]
