New butt-buddy to the 9/11 moonbats? Um, not yet, anyway… It’s been a while since I’ve heard from my ol’ pal Sander Hicks, who has the distinction of being one of the more intelligent and (generally) reasonable 9/11 troofers that I met at the Chandler 9/11 Accountability Conference, though I…
Jeez, J.D., eat something for Chrissakes, you look like an ofay Star Jones! I was monitoring Barry “Gee, I wish I was still” Young this morn on KFYI 550 AM, and I heard a familiar Foghorn Leghorn type-a voice, and soon realized it was my old bud from NC, the…
Let it all hang out: Rusty’s pic labeled “Jamaica Hedonism.” Prejudiced playboy Rusty Childress is one complex fella. Every Thursday he welcomes fellow wackjobs to his anti-Mexican fiestas, like the ones described in this week’s Bird column, the item titled “Bigot Bash.” The putative Republican (if you judge him by…
Amparo’s birthday suit: boots, gloves, hat, and little else. (photo by Bala Raman) Tuesday’s beauty is the limber and lovely Amparo Elizabeth, who hails from Honduras originally, but was raised in the Zona and has been modeling since age nine. This exotic enchantress boasts Spanish blood, her first name meaning…
Barry “Naw, I aint” Young, KFYI’s pie-faced horse’s patootie. Anyone who’s ever read stroke-mag Hustler knows of a feature called “Asshole of the Month,” wherein politicians, ideologues and media types are skewered. I’m thinking of starting a version called “PHX A-hole of the Week,” to honor P-town butt-holes deserving of…

One of Imus’ old albums being sold on eBay: Pretty much says it all… ***UPDATE: Since the posting of this commentary, the Associated Press has reported that CBS radio has fired Don Imus, this coming on the heels of MSNBC’s suspension of their simulcast of his show. This is the…
One of the few ribbons in town Phil Gordon hasn’t cut… With a handful of reporters and supporters looking on, mayoral hopeful Rev. Jarrett Maupin, the boy-wonder of PHX politics, cut the ribbon on his new campaign office downtown today, promising to “kick Phil’s butt in this election,” and taking…
Two clowns flippin’ you the bird… Beetlejuice mobbed by fans at the Clubhouse… So the Killers of Comedy from the Howard Stern Show were in Tempe at the Clubhouse Music Venue this past Saturday, and I had to make the scene to see my two favorite Stern show regs: the…
Go, Jarrett, go: Whip Phil’s flabby white keister… The word’s out: The Reverend Jarrett Maupin II will be a contender in the Phoenix 2007 mayoral race in a bid to unseat Mayor Phil “Goober” Gordon. A formal announcement will come sometime this week, but already the prez of the Arizona…
The spooky-sexy Sister Kenyattasaurus Rex… Okay, so last week, I told you we were flippin’ the script to Thump Day Diva from Hump Day Honey, and now I’m adding a Friday Femme Fatale, what gives? Jeez, people, I have other stuff to do too, so Monday Mammas and Tuesday Tarts…
That ain’t Monopoly money Phil’s playin’ with… In case you have any doubts whom Mayor Phil Gordon really represents, check this under-the-radar March 2 story by the Phoenix Business Journal titled “Developers bankrolling Gordon’s re-election campaign.” Gordon’s Phil for Phoenix PAC has raised over $655K according to the article, and…
Joe Watson in custody… Some Mondays are crazier than others, and this one was particularly whack, with the news that ex-New Times staff writer Joe Watson was popped Friday for allegedly sticking up six Valley businesses, including three salons in Scottsdale, hence the catchy sobriquet “the salon bandit.” Scottsdale detectives…
Could it work for the rednecks? Just back from a three-day weekend in La-La Land, where you can’t help but be struck by how far more ethnically diverse the City of Angels is than the PHX. Angelenos are not nearly as worked up over illegal immigration as many Sand Landers…
Protector of sheep, punisher of poor illegal immigrants… Is it any coincidence that on the same day the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office makes headlines for releasing an illegal immigrant from jail who’s suspected of subsequently murdering someone, Nickel-Bag Joe Arpaio announces he’s going to have his deputies bust illegal immigrants…
Riana Songstress-siren Riana, the sort of pale beauty of which the poets sing… With her almond eyes, raven tresses and a complexion stolen from the winter moon, PHX songstress Riana Riggs of bands Edison Gem and Runaway Diamonds is like one of those pale sirens Lord Byron wrote of years…
The curvaceous Shelly, aka DJ ///she///… Droogs Necro and Jules at the Sadisco Milk Bar… Cue Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, me droogies, I’ve just now found time to post these pics from A Clockwork Sadisco, the A Clockwork Orange -themed soiree thrown on a recent Saturday by those genius industrial/EBM whores…
www.poynter.org Great Zeus! Poynter’s Romesnesko finds the word “Repugnant,” repugnant. So Friday, I check Journalism God Jim Romenesko’s linkathon at the Poynter Institute Web site and I discover that he’s posted a link to a Phoenix Business Journal article from the same day reporting the news that Jon Talton’s bidding…
OutNow By order of the almighty Gannett and its faithful servant John Zidich, journalism as you know it will now cease to exist! Below is the makeup of the Arizona Republic’s new Information Center, the Orwellian Gannett construct which merges the newsroom with online, makes redundant a print paper, and…
http://www.philgordon.org/ Stick ’em up, pardner: Goober Gordon shootin’ air bullets, as usual. As if the murder report on the local nightly news wasn’t enough to convince you that you live in one of the most dangerous states in the nation, here comes a new study showing that — golly, gee…
Ain’t no cake walk for Flake’s new bill, but it does offer hope. At first glance, Rep. Jeff Flake’s new immigration reform bill seems to offer hope of a compromise on the issue between the pro and anti camps. It presents a pathway to legal residency for the 12 to…
Paris Troy Hotter than a Georgia firecracker; so hot you could bake bread on her back, or maybe a frozen pizza…uh, you get the picture. For some reason Thump Day Honey sounds a lot cooler than Hump Day Honey, and it also gives me an extra day to snag a…
