These people are sick.
I wouldn't buy anything from that sick SOB at Tucson appliance, he thinks he's funny.
Evidently he doesn't think this isn't going to hurt his business. I have news for him.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I can't believe they have the nerve to bring cyber bullying into this again... That shows that they haven't learned anything. They still think people are against them for no reason, and I don't think these people will ever change.
"Customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business for six years."
That sounds SO pretentious. Bake some humble pie, guys.
Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
Flake voted to let the voices of the Gun control Bill be heard, instead of filibustered. I think that is what we need is both sides speaking the Obama Administration doesn’t do that, Obamacare is the result of Republicans voices being locked out, Flake didn’t do that. After hearing what the Bill stood for and how it was sold Flake voted against the Bill as any person honestly looking for a solution to gun murders should have.
The Gun Bill was sold as being the answer to Sandy Hook to the Denver massacres when in fact that was a lie, the Bill was just more of the same failed laws that has created a situation where Democrat voting areas have 650% HIGHER gun murder rates than the Republican voting areas with less restrictive gun laws. Profiling mental health is the answer, not more gun laws; we already have over 10,000 in place. Jeff Flake took a hit in the polls, why? Because his vote to allow discussion made the Gun supporters mad, as the vote was sold as his supporting the anti-gun crowd, when in fact it was just the anti-gun crowd misleading for por la causa again!
Again how do you explain why Republican voting areas have 650% lower gun murder rates than in the Democrat voting areas all while having LESS gun law? The answer to that question points us in the direction we need to be heading if we indeed want to “solve” these maddening tragedies!
Gun show guns are used in 1.8% of the gun murders; we have been focused on something that even if the Bill was 100% successful could impact only 1.8% of the gun murders! 100% of our efforts directed at solving 1.8% of the problem that is insanity mad dogs just barking for no reason!
I find it shameful how the Democrats and the other supporters of this failed effort used lies and deceptions to sell their position, but lies and deception seems to be how things are done these days right?
Proud Democrat? Why?

Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
I've seen the ad and I think it says it all, quite well. Flake brought all of this down on himself.
He is early in his term, so I'm sure his party is hoping that it will blow-over well before the next election. If he makes a habit of 'talking out of both sides of his mouth' then we will all know that the issue really is his personal integrity. I used to admire John McCain for his integrity, but he sold his soul to the party in return for their aid in advancing his political career. Who knows what he really thinks now. Same for Flake?

This Grand Re-Opening is sure to result in multiple felonies. I can not wait.
Re: “The Chernobyl-Like Fallout of Amy's Baking Company Is Comedy Gold”
Kathy Parker, I appreciate your opinion.
But when you screw up as massively and publicly as they did, you can go one of a few routes. For simplicity's sake, we'll say two:
One, you can admit your failure, apologize to those wronged and move on, knowing that you've got something to fix. Two, you can double-down on your mistake, affirm that you are completely within the right and that everyone who disagrees is a fool.
One of those earns respect, the other earns (well-deserved) mockery.
Which do you think they picked?
Re: “Danehy”
Overall, the Tohono O'odham Nation prevailed. They lost a lot of cultural land due to appease the general public of the state of Arizona. We didn't say anything to that, afterall, it directly benefited us as taxpayers. We give them some "shut-up" money to leave us alone in our air-conditioned homes and businesses. They take the money and purchase 135 acres in Glendale to make up for "Our" comforts related to the American dream. They go and decided to build a casino in the middle of Phoenix; their old ancestral from the Hohokam period... yep; sounds like Karma to me and yes... it is their land from times past.
Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
Don't support more gun control, you're a lair. Lets talk about why background checks have to go through a federally licensed firearm dealer. ... Waiting... Still waiting... None, not one reason we, the people should not be allowed to use National Criminal Instant Check System for ourselves. If these checks were such a good idea then why can't we do them on our own? These lies about not expanding BATFE licensed agents into every sale don't pass the sniff test. You want sensable debate on gun control, then try making sense, not boondogle bureaucracy.

Flake = Liar.
Re: “Community Conundrum”
I was in the midst of putting together some fundraising projects that would benefit Wingspan — and will again once the dust has settled and it is again obvious what projects are going forward. Serving the youth and the domestic violence in our community is so very important. I hope that the Board rises above this fray and acts for the good and needs of the community and not just insulate from the issues brought forward by this incident.
Re: “AZ Illustrated Politics: Medicaid Expansion, Election Bills, Rosemont Mine & More”
It is amazing that you allow Jeff Rogers to address the issue of water in Green Valley/Sahuarita, something he obviously knows nothing about. He states that a pipeline built by FICO will save the aquifer but a pipeline built by Community Water Company will do nothing to improve it. Does this make sense to anyone? He also states that the FICO pipeline will allow them to "cease altogether" groundwater pumping, a claim that cannot be substantiated.
What he is saying is a 36" FICO pipeline will allow them to discontinue their pumping of between 25,000 and 30,000 acre feet of groundwater annually but that an identical 36" Community Water pipeline will do "nothing to improve the aquifer". This is pure nonsense.
Rogers opposes Rosemont Copper, I get that, but the City of Tucson not allowing Community Water Co. a temporary connection (upon completion of a new Pima Mine Rd. bridge over the Santa Cruz the pipeline will be extended back to the CAP terminus at I-19) to their jointly owned CAP/Tucson Water pipeline will not stop Rosemont Copper permitting, it will only deny the Green Valley/Sahuarita from addressing it's overdraft issues in the near term. And remember, while Rosemont Copper has a permit to pump up to 6,000 acre feet annually, FICO has been pumping in excess of 25,000 acre feet annually for decades.
Get your facts straight Mr. Rogers.
Re: “The Chernobyl-Like Fallout of Amy's Baking Company Is Comedy Gold”
Come on David Mendez, if this is entertaining, it does not say much for those enjoying watching this couple have a meltdown and lose their business. And we wonder why our children bully others? I have been to their restaurant based on a review from Check Please, and the food was fine as was the pastry. I don't know how anyone at this point can determine fairly was is fact or fallacy. Why don't you stick with Restaurants that are in Tucson, but better yet, with matters that really matter in the grand scheme of life.

Are you sure this isn't a documentary about the Tea Party?
Re: “A Rather F—king Timely Note on Swearing”
I have a more extensive vocabulary than most of the people I have ever met or spoken to. I maintained a 4.0 in college and was a fucking English tutor for fucks sake. When people say that swearing is a sign of a lack of language skills it makes me only want to break out the large and even archaic
words in my English arsenal and enhance them with a fuck of some sort. To these weak minded fools I shall say merely this, go fuck yourselves.

Re: “Chili's”
We are done with Chili's. It has lost its appeal from a time when service was prompt and the food was hot. Our server apologized from not having the food we ordered (they were out of stock) to having to wait for them to find green peppers for our fajita, then not bringing any out. Rice and broccili cold, steak not even close to being the right temperature. It wasn't even busy, so running out of food, slow apologetic service, and undercooked cold food is inexcusable. Chili's best days are very much behind them
Re: “The Big Spank!”
First good to see main stream . I to stay away from the ADDs website.
@ Thomas who died and made you boss? I know a lot of DDers who have straps and flogers. What works for one don't work for others. Also stores don't sale arnica cream they sale arnica jell which is not the something.

Re: “Danehy”
BIA tribes are not sovereign nations according to Majority opinion handed down in Cherokee vs. Georgia. The Tohono O'odham have been herded around the state like livestock. We flooded their original REZ. The BIA is solely responsible for the 90 percent unemployment astronomical rate of disease including 8 X the national rate for such diseases as diabetes and TB. They have 90 percent unemployment and a rate of alcoholism approaching the unemployment, which is likely a root cause the massive rate for that disease. Genocide is now and always has been the BIA Indian policy. These figures suggest that the Country is well on its way to eradicating the Indian. Shame on the leadership in Arizona for not fight to halt the genocide and giving the tribes fee simple title to their ancestral lands.
