A Discussion Of The Non-renewal of Catalina High’s Principal
Full disclosure: I’m a friend of Rex Scott, the principal of Catalina High. I find him to be smart, capable and diligent, the kind of principal I think I would like to work for as a teacher. That will undoubtedly influence what I say here. That being said . . . My sense is that…
Heroes of the Week: Garen, Peter, and Kirill
While the news is usually focused on hate, corruption, and crime, not all is lost. While your favorite politician was at the office shredding incriminating documents into the wee hours of the morning, or as his publicist says, “working late to serve you, his constituents,” everyday heroes were at work. Though Tucson certainly has its…

Worst USPS Carrier Ever?
Waiting for something to come from the internet is one of those 21st century hardships that will never improve. Sometimes you’re lucky if your package comes in one piece or the homeless dude that sleeps by the art cooperative down the street doesn’t steal it. Some unfortunate schmuck in a rural area has the worst…
Advice from Pat Robertson: Maybe Saying No to Jesus is Demonic Possession or Abuse
Speaking the truth in love, according to Pat Robertson, is the best way to deal with someone who just doesn’t want to be proselytized, but maybe, just maybe, the person is rejecting Jesus because of deeper reasons. The 700 Club host tossed out that the person asking for advice might be dealing with something that’s…

Another Attempt By Steve Gall To Encourage Physical Exercise In Schools Shot Down
Steve Gall has spent years advocating for daily exercise for school kids, which numerous studies indicate increases classroom attention and achievement at the same time it promotes better health.

Cute Potty Mouth Repeats Every Curse Word He Knows
Kids say the most offensive things. One father thought it would be a good idea to record his son spewing out every curse word he knows. Thankfully, the lad isn’t well versed but he’ll get there one day. Totally safe for work, unless your boss and co-workers don’t like butt jokes. (Via: Gawker)
Common Core: Its Supporters And Detractors
A sampling of Arizona students will be taking Common Core tests soon to see how they work. (We call it College and Career Ready Standards here. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.)

8 Photos from Con-Nichiwa 2014
Con-Nichiwa isn’t your average convention. It’s one of the “best people watching” conventions in Arizona. The costumes are so obscure and different from any con I have ever attended. There were way too many furries for my taste, but I can appreciate the shameless fandom. Cheesy Rider Food Truck was on site, and they made…
The “V” Word: Say It Loud, And Often. Voucher Supporters Hate It.
You don’t hear the privatization crowd using the word “voucher” much. That’s because the “V” word doesn’t poll well. “Tuition tax credits” gets a pretty good response. “Empowerment Scholarship Accounts” and “Education Savings Accounts” — basically the same thing — are too new to be polled accurately. But vouchers themselves remain unpopular. So, use the…
Watch the New ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer, Bub
I don’t know how the X-Men franchise has done it for the last 14 years, but Days of Future Past might be the best one yet. I really like the mix of cast from X-Men: First Class and the originals, and there’s a ton of new mutants in this latest trailer. In this film, Wolverine…

“Good Ole John” Huppenthal Put State Money Where His Voucher-Robocall Mouth Is
Image courtesy of shutterstock.com Our Ed Supe, “Good Ole John” Huppenthal, has spent $900,000 a year more on our vouchers-on-steroids bill, euphemistically titled Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, than the law allows by giving some students between $1,684 and $1,963 more than they should have received. We need to rewrite Huppenthal’s voucher-friendly robocall to reflect his generosity.…

Friday Fun Video Time: Patti Smith Singing “You Light Up My Life”
An ’80s flashback from ABC’s Kids Are People Too, and once upon a time Patti Smith was a guest and she sang “You Light Up My Life,” and the world was better for it. But remember, it was the ’80s.
Putin Playtime (NSFW)
First, the fun upbeat Russian song that comes on when you open the Putin Gay Dress-Up website already makes it problematic for work playtime, and when you go to dress him up, the first panel of sex-toy offerings makes it probably best to wait for home (unless of course you work for Weekly World Central,…

UA Marches Toward Sports-Obsessed Madness

Cinema Showdown: Dancing Outlaws and Vigilante Hobos Edition
Back in 2011, one of my must-see films was Hobo With a Shotgun, a Canadian exploitation film starring Rutger Hauer as a homeless vigilante. The feature-length film grew out of a trailer director Jason Eisner submitted to Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez for their 2007 double-feature Grindhouse. Eisner won the challenge, and certain prints of…
Ethan Orr: A Guns-in-Public-Places, Pro-voucher . . . Moderate?
“Republican votes like a Republican!” That’s no more newsworthy than “Democrat votes like a Democrat!” or “Water runs downhill!” But when a Republican like Ethan Orr wears his moderate credentials as a badge of courage, then he votes with the NRA and the school privatization/voucher crowd, that deserves to make the news. Orr is the…

Phantogram: Voices
While 2009’s Eyelid Movies had Portishead—and all of ’90s trip-hop—on its mind, Voices shows Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter exploring a pop/soul sound that’s less ethereal, more earthbound. “Fall in Love” is a straight-up R&B track with shoegaze texture and a throbbing bass hook, and “Bad Dreams” blends gospel motifs with fuzzy house music, resulting…

Ask a Mexican
Dear Mexican: What’s the story with Mexican pastries?

Left in the Dark
In a play called Burn This, it would not be unreasonable to expect a display of emotional fireworks. By summoning the image of fire, the title calls forth our associations with that charged word: anger; aggression; raging passion; sex and sensuality; destruction. Whether a conflagration, a smolder or a simmer—or all of the above—we expect…
Concierge Cinema
There is no magic number of films directors must make before their work comes into full focus. Orson Welles really only needed Citizen Kane. Quentin Tarantino had to make two movies to get there. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood didn’t do his best and most representative work until he was in his 70s. Over the course of…

Henry Fountain Ashurst, the Flagstaff Democrat who represented Arizona in the U.S. Senate for the first few decades of statehood, may have put it best when he reportedly said, “When choosing to vote with the people or the special interests, I choose the special interests.

Spoiler Alert: Spiders
I hate spiders. I really, really hate spiders. I’m thinking director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners) might really hate them too, for he has included them—prominently and in sinister fashion—in Enemy, his twisted screen adaptation of the José Saramago novel The Double. Jake Gyllenhaal (who co-starred in Prisoners) plays two men (or one really disturbed guy) in…
