For nearly an hour last night, the State House of Representatives debated a resolution to commend the state of Arizona for a centennial that doesn’t happen for two years, or that’s what the sponsor would have you believe. In reality, Rep. Joe Carr freely admits, were it not for Arizona’s new immigration law, he...
Yesterday we wrote about some of the unintended consequences of the new Arizona immigration legislation.

The Beauty Queen and the Fear Mongers
I don’t like pageants, of any kind, period. I think they’re ridiculous and stupid. I think they objectify women and are insulting on a level that I can’t even begin to explain. There, I said it.
