So good! Nightlife used to be kind of lame until they opened the Hot Pig. It's rockin!
Re: “Restaurant Sinaloa”
Our family had a birthday dinner here thursday May 23rd. Celebrating many blessings.
The food was outrageous.. delicious and prepared with a thoughtful hand. I never knew
you could prepare shrimp in so many ways.. I really appreciated the clean surroundings.
Re: “Danehy”
I worked WITH an Indian casino in Oregon, I know. The ass't manager referred to opening a new casino in a brand new neighborhood as "giving a gift of cancer." After consulting with the resort's Security officer who told me, one year after opening all the crime stats you can think of leap frogged including rape, robbery and divorce, including parking lot shottings, I'd say prepare for everything. Wharton School did a rather dispassionate study on same. Look it up. It's ugly.
Re: “Lawmaker Threatened Over Medicaid Expansion”
Kate Brophy McGee gets hate mail and its racism? Everytime I start time I start to think the Republicans are nuts with a knee jerk response to everything, a liberal kicks me in the butt.
Re: “Media Watch”
Tracing the IP address of the message's origination seems to contravene your premise that 'under normal circumstances that's pretty tame stuff'. If not, then why run the I.P. address?
Not affiliated with ADS, nor do I know who posted the mean-spirited comment. Just sayin'....

Kudos to these creative young adults for their ingenuity and perseverance! This mine is the project of a Canadian multi-national corp. that will only bring destruction to our beautiful area. The Corporation will profit immensely and leave devastation in its wake.

Re: “Lawmaker Threatened Over Medicaid Expansion”
It isn't racism, it's stupidism and it's been infecting the State Legislature for years and years.

She should have vetoed everything that has come out of the legislature for the last two years.
Re: “The Boy Scouts of America To Admit Openly Gay Scouts”
As a heterosexual Eagle Scout (1981) I applaud the Boy scouts of America for allowing openly gay boys to join the organization. In my days, there was gay Boy Scouts, they just remained "in the closet". Now it is time to allow for gay Boy Scout troop leaders!
Re: “Brewer Wasn't Kidding, Vetoes All the Non-Budget Bills”
Most of the bills were unconstitutional anyway. That's what our legislature does. Wastes time writing bills that will be litigated on our dime.
Re: “The Boy Scouts of America To Admit Openly Gay Scouts”
An inevitable and positive decision.
But I was amused by this: "...Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting..."
Does that "contrary" sexual (shudder!) conduct include masturbation?
Re: “Oh Hey, the University of Arizona Was Knocked by Family Guy”
The Cleveland Show isn't very good, so not much ov a loss (sorry Mr Lynch). The Family Guy and American Dad are funny and have every right to offend and/or upset any one they wish. You failed to mention that Mcfarlen was also on The Simpsons that very night.

Bwahaha! Yes, I'm an alum 87
Re: “Draining Arizona Health Care”
Health care is a broad term that provides thousands of beneficial facilities to the victims. Therefore we used to repair the condition of health care in different sector. But in various sectors we have found still people are suffering from the rapid rise of health care cost; therefore in most of the occasion we have noticed that health care organizations are liable to cut the cost of health care system.

Re: “Lawmaker Threatened Over Medicaid Expansion”
Racism is so thick here someone should call in the feds or something.

Re: “El Rio: Steve K Says Grand Canyon U Move to El Rio Not Likely”
Regina Romero will be kissing up the LGBT community when she runs for office again, claiming to be an "ally" and a supporter. You will probably all ignore or choose to forget how she is trying to secretly impose this backward ass "University" of ignorance and hate on the Westside. Many of the "radical women of color" who support Regina Romero will continue to do so despite the fact that she is now openly promoting this group of Haters. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FAKE ACTIVISTS WHO SUPPORT REGINA AND THE GRIJALVA MACHINE!! Look at how STUPID you look now!! I told you so, and you got mad at me and called me a "macho" and a "violent" person. What does "Las Adelitas" have to say about this? Regina Romero and her band of angry white women don't care about what physical harm may come to the people of the Westside when we encourage the bigots to preach their hate in our community. I can't wait to hear all of the lame excuses from you liberals...If Regina were Republican you would all be calling her out on this issue. Thanks to the Tucson Weekly for doing this story, and including the video where she straight out lies!!

Re: “Atheist State Rep's Secular Invocation Done Over 'In Repentance' By Christian State Rep.”
I sent the following letter to the Speaker, with copies to Reps. Mendez and Smith yesterday. So far no responses.
Dear Mr. Speaker,
I've just read a front page story in this morning's Arizona Daily Star and I can't resist the urge to comment, even though I've not had the experience of sitting in the House while prayer is being offered.
If prayer is to be a routine part of the opening of a meeting of the body and all members are invited in rotation to offer the prayer, it would seem that Representative Mendez was acting appropriately in praying in his fashion. Whether quoted in full or in part by the reporter, Mr. Mendez's effort would pass muster with me as a prayer. But of course your House may have at some time stipulated a definition of prayer or a syllabus of acceptable prayers and perhaps Mr. Mendez has not been around long enough to have been introduced to such aids to the production of an Arizona House of Representatives prayer.
Mr. Mendez might have opted out of his place in the rotation, he might have said he doesn't believe in prayer, he might even have introduced legislation to ban the offering of prayer at the opening of House sessions. He did none of these things. He prayed.
Mr. Smith might have listened holistically rather than selectively to Mr. Mendez' prayer. He might have listened and cogitated the prayer's recommendation to dedicate himself to the common effort to improve the lives of the people of our state. Instead, he chose to focus on the absence of a reference to a Supreme Being. Much as I might wish his listening were less selective, that was his choice. I have difficulty, however, with his attack against a fellow member and his apparent violation of protocol in offering a prayer of repentance the following day.
The article makes no mention whether Mr. Smith had asked and received leave of the Speaker before praying against Mr. Mendez or whether he was totally out of order, or perhaps there is some third possibility which doesn't occur to me. If Mr. Smith acted without your leave, Mr. Speaker, I think he should be rebuked. If he had your permission, I wonder how you justify your decision.
I've written as one who has a nodding acquaintance with a Creator of the universe and some experience praying and leading gatherings in prayer and I can with little hesitation endorse the prayer offered by Mr. Mendez and question whether the term 'prayer' is appropriately associated with the remarks of Mr. Smith.
God be with you all.
