Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
They can put up a happy face for the night but what happens when someone critiques her food? She will flip out again and acuse you of being a hater. The crazy can't simply go away. She already showed her true colors. Even Gordon himself said that whatever changes they implement will only be temporary and will go back to their way"crazy ways" sooner than later

Jarrett Maupin is a "civil rights activist"? Please, the only thing that guy activates is his own ego.
Re: “A Rather F—king Timely Note on Swearing”
For the most part, swearing is boring. Use words I don't know so I have to look them up!
Re: “The Skinny”
Hardly surprising that Ray Carroll and Ally Miller have some conflicts. I'm a Democrat, but I also believe that Carroll has been a fair and responsible Supervisor. Ally Miller, on the other hand, is a divisive and unpleasant human being - much like many of her Tea Party supporters.
Re: “Paranoia Runs Deep: Agenda 21 Hearing Highlights”
This is a some really nice propaganda pieces you have here today.. anyone that does any bit of research on Agenda 21 WILL IN FACT find out how evil it is. TUCSON WEEKLY IS A SICK JOKE
Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign”
Really? The FBI getting involved in a hacked facebook account? XD
Yeah sure . . . I believe them, I once got MI6, the CIA and FBI come to my house to treat me for a paper cut . . . bad day . . .

Welcome to the club!
Re: “Media Watch”
"We are sorry the inappropriate article aired on KGUN9.."
I thought "article" referred to the printed word and "story" was used in both print and broadcast.
Anyway, this might make me actually tune into KGUN to see if it happens again. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason to watch that faltering station.
Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign”
How do I know they were hacked? Well they were deleting comments for one. Thats really nice of the hacker to delete bad comments. To make matters worse, after the announcement of hacking, they went to their photo pages and changed the description to racists comments. Every photo, after the hack announcement, was changed to look like it was hacked. When I call them out on FB, they delete it. I know because I quoted it on a page, then went back and they added some more text. I hope they didn't call the FBI and the police because that is illegal to file a false report. It is so easy to prove too.
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
Mammey, let's lay this to rest: Cursing isn't necessary, but use of it is a reflection of the culture that exists, not a sanitized, white-washed version that we wish we could take part in.
In Mari's case, the idea of telling domestic harmony to go fuck itself could easily be seen as wanting to dismiss the concept with extreme prejudice -- to say, as clearly and proudly as possible, that it's an outdated, useless ideal and that people should be focusing on creating the best of life as it is, rather than to hope and pray that one day, everything will be absolutely perfect.
That's not to say that no one believes culture can't be improved, but to campaign vehemently against the use of swearing is a bit like attempting to close the barn doors after the horses have already escaped, bred in the wild, raised their young, grown old and died.
All that said, while your efforts are admirable, they're also misguided, not to mention a waste of your energies -- particularly in the comments section of an alternative weekly's website. Lay off it.
Re: “Sales Tax Might Be Close to Simplifying — Again”
Republican speak:
'“I have found that [the cities] move the goal post,” Lesko said. "They agree on something and then they change their mind. It’s going to be whatever the Governor and the Legislature believes is best. We are not going to wait until the cites agree with everything they want. We don’t want to hurt the cities, but we need to move forward.”'
So we'll hurt the cities...
Re: “Community Conundrum”
Well, I don't want to negate any good that has been done in the past and can't imagine what GLBTQ community in Tucson would be without it. But, after almost 2 years in Tucson (job relocation) my partner and I are doing everything we can to get outa Dodge and back to the West Coast. I've lived in urban and rural settings, USA and internationally. Yet, we're appalled and have never experienced such backwardness as Tucson -- not only when it comes to GLBTQ issues, but also, politically (roads, development, improvements) and socially (lack of prioritization for homeless). So whatever structural changes are deemed necessary by God I hope they are for the best. But I would expect that the same principle of justice and equality sought through programs and advocacy is practiced as well regarding employment issues; otherwise, the leadership would be a sham and lack credibility.
Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']”
I think Amy is a kin to Jan Brewer
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
No mammey, I don't get the point. Its seems archaic and frivolous. To each their own I suppose.
Re: “The Border Battle”
Please , Grijalva Please.. Compromise is now a term politicans use to convince the public that they are attempting to look like they are doing something...... For those of us that have lived in Tucson for 40 years or more , Natives of Tucson, know that Grijalva should be President of Mexico instead of a U.S. congressman.. Most of his district looks like sonora mex. and functions similar to nogalas sonora mex.. His district has always had the highest crime rate in pima county. Not much has changed for the better since Raul "took" over this district a long time ago.. The number of Illegal immigants from mexico has increased in his district since his take over however... Almost evey time Raul opens his mouth and some sort of word combination comes out,,its got some thing to do with non citizens and in some way bad mouthing the legal U.S. citizen....
Re: “AZ Legislature: Budget Showdown Set for Thursday”
I hope the Republican spat results in the killing of the bill destroying Clean Elections. The people of the state established Clean Elections for a reason and the legislature, and I don't care which party is behind it, should be keeping their hands off of it.
I want my candidates being elected, and going into office, beholden to no special interest who may have bankrolled their campaign. Let's continue being a model of public financing of elections for this nation.
Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign”
ADDITIONALLY -- IF YOU REVIEW the photos on their Facebook page, NEARLY ALL food photograph (listed as shot in-house) were taken/stolen from other pages throughout the internet -- AND CLAIMED AS THEIR FOOD. Again, CLEARLY deceptive, if not Fraudulent.
Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']”
The blatent disrespect to customers and abhorrent treatment of their staff is disgusting.

Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
"In fact, wait staff is paid $8-$14 per hour, two and half to nearly five times the standard hourly wage for servers."
By my math they think the minimum wage is somewhere between $4 and $4.60 an hour give or take...
Can't wait to see the debacle and aftermath of their continued FAIL.
