Re: “Ask a Mexican!”
Another token just trotted out...and sounded off like Glenn Beck after a few shots of Tequila. Obama phones? They get to go without AZDLs and insurance while I have to have them? The police can do nothing?
When you sober up, do some research.
Re: “Ask a Mexican!”
Not sure why I need to say this, but I am an old white woman who reads your column faithfully. I learn something every column & just wanted to thank you for writing it.
Re: “Danehy”
Sounds like Wisconsin experience says that vouchers work. One of the key reasons to do them is to spur the public schools to do a better job. Once they know that the parents have an alternative , they quit their whinning about keeping their monopoly status, and figure out a way to make a diploma worth something. It seems to make sense for Governor Walker to expand them if he believes that schools exist to educate children and not simply to make sure teacher's unions have an ample source of dues.
Re: “Danehy”
Does Arizona have philanthropists supplementing charter school budgets? Do the charter schools get exempt from pension obligations for teachers so teachers will change careers rather than dedicate themselves? In NYC many charters are not charting anything that the DOE could afford to replicate. It's a failed experiment in school reform.
Re: “Like Butter”
What a shame that you went from veganism back to eating animal products.
I'd like to try the cannabis oil using olive oil or coconut oil. It sounds very delicious.
Re: “Downing”
Here's something the cuts are guaranteed to do: those on unemployment extensions will in April, be looking at their generous $240 a week being cut by as much as 22%. Just one thing the willfully uninformed don't know, because they're focused on the politics.
When is the huge, world-destroying meteor? I can't wait. The only difference between Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" and now, is that the black president is actually smart.
Re: “Mailbag”
And I'm going to cut this flame war off before it gets going any further. Goodnight, everybody!
Re: “Mailbag”
The urban myth-making in the original letter and the above comments never rises above your garden variety faceless internet slander. As such they do not warrant response, but it should be pointed out that these allegations were all sourced from friends of friends of friends and, even better, "police". I think that about says it all.
Re: “Mailbag”
Dude, I'm not an idiot. I am a hip hop fan. YOU PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED A WOMAN. I know what it means. You're just making everything a lot worse for yourself now. Stop it and 'fess up. You got called on your bullshit.
Re: “Danehy”
The Charter school movement is a failure, but AZ politicians will keep sending our money down the rabbit hole. And tax credits for private and religious schools? Start an STO, rake in the bucks.
Re: “Mailbag”
See if you guys were "hip-hop fans" maybe you wouldn't be confused see "hitting girls" is slang terminology for "having sexual intercourse with girls," consentual of course, like "Yeah I hit that girl." haha man almost guys almost.
Re: “Mailbag”
Well said, Ms. Gilmer. I don't know the man or his music, but anyone who can discuss his past in this way isn't deserving of much respect, particularly after mentioning his attorney keeping him out of jail, which says a lot about his character. I'm not a hip hop fan either, but someone who uses slander and speaks about condoning violence of any sort isn't the type of person I think should be on the cover of our city's own magazine.
Re: “Mailbag”
I heard about it too because I used to work at congress and the whole staff was upset that night. Everyone knows you got kicked out of that place dude. I cant believe you hit girls and then say you have no regrets. I was really surprised to see you on the cover because of the fact Ive never heard your music, Ive only heard of the messed up stuff youve done, so I refuse to listen to assholes. Dont try to call everyone liars when its clear youre the only liar in this situation.
Re: “Mailbag”
Haha ok you're insanely delusional
Re: “Mailbag”
EVERYONE has heard about you hitting girls and asking about raping them at Hotel Congress last year and then I SAW YOU MAKE your friend hit a security guy before they kicked you out. Glad someone the community actually respects can call you out on your bullshit. A ton of us saw you do it, so don't act like you suddenly forget your a violent egomaniac.
Re: “Mailbag”
Mr. Camacho,
Not only were witnesses present during this account, I first heard about it from police officers, not hearsay. I'm sorry being held accountable seems to be so difficult for you, but assaulting women and using the r-word to them makes YOU the bully. Calling them "fucked-up people" just hurts your case even more. You need to be honest about your past AND answerable for your wrongdoings. Simply forgetting the atrocious things you've done, as appears the current case, is not an option.
Re: “Mailbag”
Was this really the best lie you pulled from the blind raffle out the alleged slanders hat?
Man hopefully next time you mean to discredit me with fake ass bullshit it's a little more ambitious like "Mr. Camacho set fire to a school bus filled with nuns holding newborn babies" or at least make it like six women instead of just two.
My criminal record is public for anyone to see & your allegations aren't on it friendo.
Jan Brewer line was kinda funny tho, I mean, I guess since Hitler was in the bathroom or too busy to make your analogy.
Love, Toothy
Re: “Editor's Note”
Is his son going to perform at Centennial? Fela's music was amazing! Sort of the Bob Marley of S Africa in his message and ability to reach the masses. Congrats on the hard work getting the show here!
