But then Birther Bennett would be governor. He's just as evil, more competent, and eligible to run for another term.

Bad plan, Bal. Bad plan.

...then again, he might win in 2014 anyway. In which case we'd be better off if he were ineligible to run for another term after that. Now I'm conflicted.

...anyway. She's actually in Afghanistan.

Or possibly someone just drove her out into the desert, spun her around a few times, and told her she was in Afghanistan. Hard to tell.

Not only am I not surprised, I'm no longer surprised that anyone else is surprised.

Arpaio made a big show in front of the cameras, actually made everybody less safe, his supporters are still his supporters because they don't actually give a fuck about anything past the "big show in front of the cameras" part.

If you want to see a Sheriff Joe supporter's perspective (or possibly a troll pretending to be a Sheriff Joe supporter's perspective), it's never hard to find one in the New Times comments section:

Quote from: azcumsquelcher

Holey Moley!!! Out of thousands of volunteer posse members (glorified security guards), is it really possible that a few of them were criminals at one time or another? That seems pretty goddamn shocking to me. And cybercy, you don't need to worry about anyone failing to look into a purported misdeed of the MCSO. There are people whose sole task it is to investigate and report on every potential mistake the MCSO has ever committed

Quote from: azcumsquelcher

and this all happened in 2009... the guy probably hasn't even been here since then, let alone been serving in Joe's posse

Quote from: azcumsquelcher

if you looked further into the issue, you will see that the man convicted of sending explicit materials to children was an MCSO correctional officer for 7 years before being charged with his crimes. He was subsequently fired from the department and, being a citizen of Canada, was entered into deportation proceedings with immigration & customs. The "news" media is reporting this as if Arpaio knowingly hired a sex offender to his posse when in reality, the guy was a member and MCSO officer before he was accused of committing the crimes. I highly doubt MCSO failed to perform background checks on these people

Case closed. Thanks, azcumsquelcher.

"He committed the offences on duty, rather than at a prior date" is an amazing defense.

Went to campus today to run some errands. A nice man asked me to sign a petition to recall Arpaio. I don't hold out a whole lot of hope, but what the hell else you gonna do? Gotta keep trying.

Brentai · « **Reply #530 on:** February 14, 2013, 03:34:58 PM »

"Well of COURSE a vigilante posse is going to contain a bunch of crooks!" is cute too, but again, azcumsquelcher.

I suspect most actual conservatives are just leaning against the standard argument that anything that even seems like criticism against conservatives is part of a massive homobortionist conspiracy. Hell, they're all up in arms right now because people had the GALL to think Marco Rubio's water break moment was kinda funny.

Arizona Group Will Give Away Loaded Shotguns To ‘Take Back’ City From Criminals

Mongrel · « **Reply #533 on:** March 27, 2013, 03:50:52 PM »

Funny enough, that exact item came up elsewhere, prompting the following conversation:

<Monty> I'm normally in favor of the scientific method, but I feel like "free shotguns" might be a risky plan.
<burboy> that is the most unamerican thing ever said on this board
<Monty> Sorry. I'll try again
<Monty> Giving away shotguns to the poor? That's nothing but socialist welfare!
<burboy> now you're catching on

handing out free shotguns in neighborhoods with high crime rates.

Even in Arizona where I can now unfairly base my generalizations entirely on Prescott Valley I have trouble believing that people can read that sentence and not realize what's wrong with it.

Büge · « **Reply #535 on:** March 27, 2013, 08:41:27 PM »

You really think they read anything more than FREE SHOTGUNS?

All guns bought in Arizona buy-back program are now required to be resold by retailers.

Things that make me smile: Arpaio's scared.

And then he died on the way back to his home planet.

Mongrel · « **Reply #539 on:** May 24, 2013, 10:51:56 AM »

I heard en passant this afternoon that Arpaio's office has been found guilty of blatant profiling and obstruction?

Can any of our Arizona residents elaborate on the news?
