Yesterday I kept up to date and got lazy. I should at least stay up to date today as the worst heat wave of the summer, to date, moves in. It was a slow say for news.

Short Takes:
From TPM: Sharron Angle has resorted to an unusual maneuver to counter Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s attacks on her past quotes and positions, the Reid campaign has announced: A cease-and-desist letter, demanding that Reid no longer republish Angle’s previous campaign website.
The short version of the story is as follows: After the former state Rep won Nevada’s Republican Senate primary, Angle’s campaign took down most of its website, and later replaced it with a relaunched version that in some ways toned down her right-wing rhetoric.
What a dirty thing Reid is doing. How could anyone be so heartless as to repeat Angle’s own opinions! 😉
From Crooks and Liars:
Lots of Arizona politicians were upset by President Obama’s speech on immigration last week, but apparently none more so than Crazy Sheriff Joe Aroaio:
Arpaio: “Right now, because of that speech, we’re going to get more and more people crossing that border. They want to get here quick so they become U.S. citizens if we have amnesty. So stay tuned for more people coming in because of the president speaking out.”
And I imagine the GOP profiling mavens passed the “papers please” bill in anticipation of Obama’s speech, right?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
As Otis and I always say ‘let’s go to the tape’. That website was part of what got her elected so it’s fair game. Should’ve thought about that before putting up all that bullshit on your site. So sad that you have to defend it all now, dumbass.
Immigration is going no where until after the election so the Sheriff can un-wad his panties.
You know, originally I liked some of his policies for prisoners; the tent camps, picking up garbage along the highway, the pink undies, but now he’s gone completely around the bend. Must be in the water in that state or all the heat that makes them so crazy.
I agree with you on Angle. On Arpaio, humiliating prisoners, especially public humiliation, tends to turn them more bitter against the system and less likely to invest themselves in reform.
