Re: “Editor's Note”
The Arizona Press Club gives out THOUSANDS of awards each year - to the dozen papers in AZ. So it's no surprise that each comes home with hundreds of awards. For example, the Flag Rag pulled down the coveted 'best newspaper in southwest Flagstaff'. Their subscription rate is pathetic, and when they started charging to read it on the web, NO ONE subscribed! They even quit publishing on Mondays, since there was nothing in that edition anyway. But, it still brings home hundreds of awards from the Arizona Press Club.

The gun nuts want to keep guns in the hands of the 'bad guys' because that is the only way they can use their guns to overcome the 'bad guys.' And thus be the 'heroes.'

A sincere thank you for resolving that lingering ASDB dysfunction. That leaves only the community college and water district.

You're sick Gibson. Suppose Michael Vick's your favorite sports personality also?
Re: “El Rio: Steve K Says Grand Canyon U Move to El Rio Not Likely”
GCU aside (there are within our fair burg many entities with bigot policies in place, so this is nothing new per se), why would Regina and the rest of M&C even begin to THINK about selling off a public asset that is widely used and enjoyed by the community (from specifically Barrio Hollywood to Tucsonans citywide more generally) without saying a peep about these plans to the impacted communities? Not even half a year ago -- http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2013/01/15/el-rio-golf-courses-future-time-for-community-input?mode=print -- TPTB were talking about making a park out of it (which wasn't universally accepted by the community -- some wanted to keep golf -- but would have at least kept the public space, you know, PUBLIC), and now they're doing a 180 and selling it into private hands when the City should be creating MORE green space not taking it away (COT's own Plan Tucson says we're "under spaced" vis-a-vis the amount of green space per capita). Lying to/ misleading the public about how public assets are managed (or not) and not even bothering to create a figleaf of public process is evil whether it's done for GCU or a company whose record on labor and human rights issues is beyond reproach. Ronstadt Center downtown, El Rio to the west, whose community is next?

Re: “The Militant Baker Takes 'Today' By Storm”
I can't really buy clothes at A&F, nor would I want to. (I'm a "retro" clothes guy). But I do like A&F mens cologne and related products.

Never miss an opportunity for free publicity.
Re: “John McCain, Friend to Consumers, Wonders Why He Has to Keep Updating His Apps Manually”
Apple was slammed by Congress for following the tax code that Congress wrote. Go figure.
If Mc Cain can help kill the bundle scam. God bless him. If I want HBO or Showtime. I have to get all the sports coverage I do not watch. Shame.

Monterey jazz fest in 1967 was the best.
Re: “The Militant Baker Takes 'Today' By Storm”
I had an experience at Forever 21 at the Tucson Mall just yesterday. I needed a hot pink hoodie for a costume (à la Princess Bubblegum casual if you're wondering: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkww7gqLOU1…) and found the perfect hoodie at Forever 21. But they did not have an extra large. In fact, they make no extra larges whatsoever. Now keep in mind, a large at Forever 21 is more like a Small or Medium in real sizing. So the large, of course, fit me a bit snuggly. I was directed to their "Faith 21" section which has all of Forever 21's many clothing departments (Activewear, Denim, etc) but in plus-sized, crammed into a tiny corner of the store. Not surprisingly, no "Faith 21" comparable pink hoodie. Why no extra large guys? Would it kill you? You KNOW you're using cheap ass sweatshop labor, which is an infraction in itself...so would it be THAT MUCH more expensive for your multi-million dollar company to offer one more size in all your stuff for us size 12 gals?

Re: “The Continuing Saga of Amy's Baking Company; No Press Conference, No PR Firm”
Actually, the day all this came down I did a cursory check at their main website and I noticed that some of their pages were indeed hacked by the usual pharmaceutical spammers (do I have to write the name of the products and get banned?).
When I looked at their site today, the offending code was gone.
I am afraid these bozos are going to use that incident and claim "See, GoDaddy says we were hacked". In reality I figured their website was hacked several years ago and they never noticed.
