The Spring Arts Preview
The last time I wrote about ceramic artist Rose Cabat, the editor gave the piece the headline “Ninety and Nimble.” (TW Oct. 7, 2004). It was 2004, and the 90-year-old was being honored with an exhibition of her “feelies,” the pungently colored, silky-surfaced porcelains that have won her acclaim since the 1960s. Now, 10 years…
Word Odyssey: History of English—Part II
Image courtesy of Shutterstock An image from The Canterbury Tales Last week’s column was the History of the English language in 5 Minutes, but I didn’t quite make it in five, so today I’m going to finish it off—and hey, a history of English in two short columns isn’t too shabby. English literature began flowering…
Word Odyssey: The History of English—in 5 Minutes!
Image courtesy of Shutterstock In honor of International Mother Tongue Day coming up on February 21st—and I’m not making that up; the Day is recognized by the United Nations—today’s Word Odyssey is going to give you the history of the English language. No time to tarry…. English derives from the Germanic dialects of the Angles,…
Word Odyssey: Hey Baby, Be My Valentine and I’ll Give You Some “Romance”!
Image courtesy of Shutterstock In honor of Valentine’s Day, today I’m going to feed your inner nerd with romance, by which I mean a love affair. Now, you might suppose that there was no need for me to say what I meant by romance, because the word is so well known. But if you think…
Word Odyssey: O.K.?
Image courtesy of Shutterstock Today I’m going to feed my inner nerd—and yours too—by exploring the history of a word that most of us say every day, many times over. Okay? Sometimes we spell it like a word, but just as often it’s just O.K. For those who cherish brevity, it’s even OK to dispense…
Word Odyssey: The Saga of the Oxford English Dictionary
Image courtesy of Shutterstock On February 1, 1884, the first fascicle, or volume, of one of the world’s greatest literary achievements was published: the Oxford English Dictionary, affectionately known as the OED. I’m not talking about the collegiate or other abridged versions of the OED, but rather the version completed in 1928 consisting of twelve…
Word Odyssey: Famous Last Words
It’s nearly the anniversary of Winston Churchill’s death on January 24, 1965. When he was on his way out, Churchill commented that he was ready to meet his maker, but “whether my maker is ready for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” Touché. Laying on his deathbed, Karl Marx’s housekeeper bugged him to…

A Million Here, A Million There. Putting Education Spending In Perspective
Arizona schools want the legislature to add over $300 million to K-12 funding in next year’s budget. Not much chance that’s gonna happen. Brewer is calling for a lower number, $70 million, which makes her a big spender compared to her Republican counterparts in the legislature. Both of those are serious chunks of change. Brewer’s…
Arnold Schwarzenegger Goes Undercover at Gold’s Gym
Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the best actors in the history of cinema, is making viral videos and posting them on Reddit.

Solomon Georgio Won the Internet Yesterday
For MLK day, I will now search for maliciously racist tweets & tell the author that I love them.— Solomon Georgio (@solomongeorgio) January 20, 2014 People on the internet are pretty much the worst, but Los Angeles-based comedian Solomon Georgio brought a slight bit of brightness to the online world yesterday by looking up the…
Fourth Avenue Street Fair Kinda-Sorta Triumphs Over Streetcar
While the Fourth Avenue Street Fair will not have a shopping experience like the Maeklong train market outside of Bangkok, it does appear as though it will be able to spread out down Seventh Street during the open-air bazaar in March. Councilman Steve Kozachik (who sent us the above video, BTW) has been trying to…
ASU Frat Suspended for Posting Racist ‘MLK Party’ Photos
Some Arizona State University fraternity students posted horrendously offensive photos of themselves dressed in basketball jerseys, bandanas, drinking out of watermelons and throwing gang signs in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., Day. This is almost as bad as the Naked ASU Girl. The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members posted the photos on Instagram and…

Dalessandro Gets Senate Appointment
The Range predicted yesterday that Annabelle Nuñez would get the appointment to Linda Lopez’s vacant Senate seat, but we called it wrong: Today, the Pima County Board of Supervisors picked state Rep. Andrea Dalessandro to fill the District 2 Senate seat. That means that we’ll now have a House vacancy that will have to be…
Wealth-aholics Anonymous? (Nah, The Addicts Never Hit Bottom)
According to a recovering “wealth addict” in a column in the Sunday NY Times — he’s a young man who at 25 was making a few million a year (but it wasn’t nearly enough) — the mania to accumulate more and more wealth beyond what anyone could possibly need or spend is a disease the…

An MLK Day/University Education Thought Experiment
Education was a major part of Dr. King’s vision. He looked forward to a time when children of all races had equal opportunity to pursue their educational goals, through high school, past high school, as far as their dreams and their abilities could carry them. Rep. John Kavanagh, on the other hand, is pushing for…
Happy MLK Day: The Ugly Side of Holiday Consumerism
It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day and while some folks volunteered or marched, some must be shopping, judging from all the MLK Day deals we’ve noticed at Weekly World Central. Yep, seems MLK Day is now a good excuse to offer a deal, a special, that all-American excuse to have a sale. But the latest…
Who Will Be Our Newest State Lawmaker?
Democratic Party precinct leaders in Legislative District 2 have picked three names to submit to the Pima County Board of Supervisors to replace state Sen.

Richard Sherman Bashes Michael Crabtree on Live Television
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman became the Stone Cold Steve Austin of football after the win against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Sherman deflected a pass to Niner wide receiver Michael Crabtree that resulted to a game winning interception. I saw it at Che’s Lounge with a bunch of instant Seahawk fans, alright, not…
More Spanish Language e-books
Spanish-language e-books are flourishing, which is wonderful. The LA Times article says we have 38 millions Spanish speakers in the U.S., and their access to books in Spanish has been limited until recently. It’s hard for a bookstore to stock a selection wide enough to satisfy people’s reading appetites — libraries have the same problem…

Why Does Arizona Need All These Overeducated People?
[Satire Alert!] Rep. John Kavanagh has proposed shortening Arizona’s education requirements to completion of the sixth grade. “Someone who’s going to work behind the counter at McDonalds doesn’t need any more than a sixth grade competency in reading and math,” he said. “It’s time to dramatically look at our entire philosophy of K-12 education.” Kavanagh…

25 New Charter Schools In Phoenix?
Today’s NY Times has a story, Arizona Hopes New Charter Schools Can Lift Poor Phoenix Area. I haven’t read about this in Arizona media or seen some kind of press release. I don’t expect to learn what’s going on in Arizona education in the Times. The story begins by saying Arizona’s charter school movement has…
Do Women Stare Just as Much as Men Do?
The secret is out: Everyone stares. Maybe not everyone. Some are more obvious than others. I have been guilty for staring at the sun too long. Maybe that’s why I’m so tanned. Someone created a large crotch cam, rode the subway in spread eagle position, so he or she can bait women to stare directly…
Florida Man Flips His Car Because He Was Texting While Driving
Everyone’s guilty of checking their Facebook feed or responding to a text that could wait until you’re done operating a two ton for wheel death mobile.

Your Heart Will Grow Three Sizes Watching the San Francisco Batkid Movie
I’m, admittedly, a big softy at heart.

With that in mind, it should be no surprise that I grew a deep appreciation…

Seis Curbside Kitchen Opening a Location at Mercado San Agustin

The 2014 Congressional Air War Is Already Underway
We’ve got two of the most competitive congressional races in the country in Southern Arizona: Congressman Ron Barber is likely to face a rematch against Republican Martha McSally, who lost to Barber by just a few thousand votes in 2012, and Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick will face whoever comes out of a three-way GOP primary that…
Lawmakers Start To Sideline Election Referendum

Word Odyssey: I Had a Dream (About Jim Crow)
Cvandyke / Shutterstock.com Martin Luther King Day is almost upon us, and I thought it would be altogether fitting and proper for Word Odyssey to explore some of the words and phrases of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech or his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” But I was too intimidated. Some works of…
Upscale in Oro Valley
Until a few years ago, I played about 60 rounds of golf a year. Most of those rounds were at utilitarian, workaday courses like Fred Enke or Silverbell. Often enough, it was a more upscale experience at del Lago or the Pines or Tubac. But a few times a year, it was a full-on, first-class…
Death on Two Rails
Twenty-seven years ago, Ted Conover wrote a landmark book called Coyotes. In it, Conover chronicled the hard-bitten lives of people struggling to cross the border from Mexico. Hungry for work in the fields, these desperate souls had little choice but to put themselves at the untender mercies of coyotes, outlaw entrepreneurs who ferried others across…

I Hear Voices!: I Hear Voices!
Ever since Bobby Kimmel returned to Tucson, he’s harbored no greater desire than to be part of a singing band where harmonies rule and everything else is gravy.

J.D. Wilkes & the Dirt Daubers: Wild Moon
What began as an old-timey unplugged side project for psychobilly trailblazer J.D. Wilkes and his pinup-gorgeous wife, Jessica, has evolved on their third album into a swaggeringly electric band that specializes in swamp blues and twangy garage-abilly. Fans of Wilkes’ Legendary Shack Shakers will appreciate the after-midnight roadhouse energy of the Dirt Daubers, but this…

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks: Wig Out at Jagbags
The title of the Jicks’ latest (which name-checks a classic D.C. hardcore album by Dag Nasty) asks us to at least consider the connection between the legacy of Malkmus and the legacy of Ian MacKaye, to try and trace a line from Pavement’s literate psych-noise to the blend of testosterone and critical consciousness fueling 1980s…

Although singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dent May doesn’t sound like it when he speaks, he’s from Mississippi. Specifically, Jackson, but May currently lives in Oxford, Miss., where he moved after spending some time at New York University. Likewise, his music doesn’t sound “Southern” in that “Sweet Home Alabama” sort of way; instead think Brian Wilson’s…

Poker is a sport. We’re just going to get that out of the way and move on. No discussion needed. I’m not fast, I can’t throw far and I’m not strong enough to knock anybody down who is expecting the hit. And I don’t want to fall back on bowling as what I’m good at…
A Storm of Brews
If you had to create a neighborhood bar along the crazy-busy street that Thornydale Road has become, you couldn’t come up with a more fitting venue than Monsoons Tap & Grill. There’s plenty of cold craft beer, a bare bones décor with a homey touch, friendly service, mostly country music on the sound system and…

• We do two big arts issues each year (as well as the regular arts coverage/listings/semi-regular cover stories/etc.) and each time, we put the previews out, I’m amazed at the thought and effort Margaret Regan (the article itself) and Linda Ray (the overwhelming number of listings that go with it) put into them. It’s insane…

Prepare for Puns
Movie critics can throw a little too much shade sometimes, particularly at animated films. Most cartoons aren’t meant to be ingenious and probably 50 to 60 percent of them aren’t designed with adults in mind. Pixar cleared that bar with The Incredibles and—through Toy Story 3—had an incredible run of stories written for adults that…

Two scarcely observed anniversaries arrived with the turning of the calendar to 2014. It was 20 years ago that the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect. Considering NAFTA’s utterly disastrous results, it’s not surprising that the cheerleaders who fought wallet-and-lobbyist to squeak it through Congress two decades ago would be silent now. Perhaps the…

One look at the stage, with its bright colors and doors galore, and you know what kind of play you’ll be seeing at Live Theatre Workshop.

CHILD’S PLAY Gov. Jan Brewer hit the usual notes in her final State of the State address this week: The federal government is bad, Arizona is on the rebound, the state of the state is strong, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Playwright Tom Stoppard is just so damn smart.
