Re: “A Rather F—king Timely Note on Swearing”
I am a well educated fucking broad who can hang with the fucking boys one moment and have tea with the Queen of England the next. I am damn proud of who I am and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of me.
Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign”
They were hacked at some point. Look at the captions of their facebook photos on their page. The descriptions were written by hackers. "STOLEN PHOTOS, dog poop, and vomit" is one description.
Look at it and you will see what I mean.

Al Melvin, wrong for Arizona, wrong for the Earth.
Re: “Five Minutes of Gardening Makes a Big Difference - Especially in the Desert”
This can be profoundly true. To me, the first task is to choose an aesthetic: what kind of plants make you feel really good when you work with them? In all seasons, try to work partly in the shade (at least have a nearby shady spot to rest in). And in summer, go slow and be sure to drink lots of electrolyted liquid. Doing this kind of work and watching the results as you go is literally a life-saver for ome of us.

Re: “'SF Chronicle' Calls Tucson Cool, So It's Time to Abandon the City”
As an escapee from Portland, I would Tucson is not "Portland without the rain".
Tucson is Portland without the rain and without the self righteous know-it-alls.
Re: “Farley on State Budget: "This Is the Type of Budget That the People of Arizona Have Been Waiting For"”
If this indeed happens it will be a long-awaited miracle.
Re: “The National Gun Death Rate is Two-Thirds That of Arizona's”
Even though Tucson is kind of the "liberal "bastion for the state of Arizona, it is getting harder and harder to live here. For years, much of the retirement and resort business came from North-easterners that regarded Arizona a "hip" place. That is rapidly changing, the people in that corridor are more and more starting to regards Arizona as kind of a "Alabama with Cactus" kind of place where "Yahoo's Rule" . Our lawmakers and the "pro-gun", anti-abortion" and "anit-imigration" forces in Maricopa County that dominate our state government, along with our "national embarrassment" governor, are scaring away the businesses and talent that could help Arizona grow in a positive way.
Re: “Flake's Background-Check Problem”
How about Flip Flop Flake? There is a nice alliteration. And it might be constructive if it helps to get him out of the office he barely won in the last election. More guns for everyone and more money wasted for useless border security are the politics of fear. And you know how Mexicans are laughing at our fear of them.
Re: “The UA Commencement Ceremony Was Bananas”
I disagree that they have reached the end of the road. They are just beginning their journey and while it is not without possible pitfalls and problems, having a college education is a definite plus with regard to jobs and life in general.
Congratulations to all. May your life be filled with wonder and joy.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
from the episode of kitchen nightmares and watching the way they treated their customers I'm surprised there hasn't been any law suits yet, if I was the guy on the show who ordered a pizza waited over a hr and then was told to pay and leave without never getting any food, when he argued his point sammy pushed him, no owner of a resturant should ever put their hands on a customer unless they are protecting themself or another employee, if he put his hands on me like that the police would've been called sammy would've stayed the night in jail and we would be going through the court system right now.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
"When re-opened, a portion of proceeds will benefit a charity organized to bring awareness to cyber bullying. " - Yes, it is called Amy's Pockets.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I would bet all the money in the world that every last person attending this "sold-out" event are friends, family and supporter's of this restaurant. No self-respecting PR firm would allow them to let even one single person they don't know and trust into this event that is supposed to shine a redeeming light on this train wreck!
Re: “Say It Ain't So: Kai, the Hitchhiking Hatchet-Man, Wanted for Murder [Update: He's Been Arrested]”
I hope "Sammy" picks this guy up. They deserve each other.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I would love to see the "Chef Amy" demonstrate for the press at to how "she" makes all her great desserts -- made fresh daily according to their website. THEN have her multi-talented hubby -- internet security expert AND world class photgrapher -- set up the food photography. After all, and as he said, Amy made that beautiful food, and he shot the "pictures." THEN, people like Martha Stewart "stole them."
And to all those who have made reservations for the "Re-Grand Opening" -- HERE'S AN IDEA: When your bill arrives, pay with a credit card, and Note the Tip line as "Cash Tip" -- and hand your server their tip directly. Then sit back and watch Sammy melt down.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
This is the link to the petition that is spreading like wildfire to get the Dept of Labor to investigate and hold ABC accountable for theft. Please sign, every single signature means getting closer to some kind of justice for the current and ex workers of this business.

Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
That Samy guy is so creepy and ingratiating. His wife has the "crazy eyes" like Jodi Arias.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
so why hasn't the labor department looked into this??
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
David, thank you for presenting, what is to you, a rational argument. I will "lay off it" when these words cease to be presented on the Yahoo news website, without me doing a search. I live in Tucson, and this nonsense adversely affects outsiders' perception of my current home town. If you believe that presenting yourself as a culturally deficient person is acceptable, then do not call it discrimination when I, too, believe that fact.
Enough said on the subject.

Wouldn't it be terrific if one of those big Wizard of Oz tornadoes took Saddlebrooke and spun it over to Iowa where it belongs.
