Education vs. Fear
Augustín Romero could pack up his family and leave Arizona, and start over somewhere far from Tom Horne and Jan Brewer—but that would mean giving up on an education program that Romero passionately describes using words like “love,” “hope” and “purpose.” The only reason he’s even considered leaving, Romero says, is the occasional threat against…
The Republican Legislature’s Death Panels
NPR’s Ted Robbins talks to the people who are not going to get life-saving transplants as a result of Arizona budget cuts: Randy Shepherd is 36 and 6-foot-3, but he has to toss baseballs to his 3-year-old son, Nathan, while sitting in a lawn chair. Shepherd has cardiomyopathy; his heart muscle is deteriorating. The condition…
An Outsider’s View on All Souls
Travel writer Frances Figart came to Tucson to the All Souls Procession, and wrote an impressive piece about the experience.

Mormon Church: Same-Sex Attraction Not a Sin. (But Acting on It Is?)
According to a post on Advocate.com, the Mormon church issued a new edition of its leadership guidelines, which includes a new policy that no longer calls for gays to repent their “homosexual thoughts or feelings.” But LGBT Mormons must remain celibate in order to participate in temple rituals and receive church assignments known as “callings.”…

GOP Global Warming Strategy
Last week, Mother Jones ran a piece on the GOP’s return to D.C., which includes a plan by some to put to bed this crazy notion of global-warming science. Maybe immigrant scapegoats are no longer in vogue, and it’s global-warming scientists who those tea-bagger Republicans can really get some mileage out of with their constituents.…

The Loft Film Fest Rolls on With a Two-Film Tuesday
There are only three nights left in the Loft Film Festival, and then you’ll be back to your generally film-festival-less life, stuck watching Lifetime movies at home. The lesson is: Enjoy the festival while you can. Tonight’s selections: Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno (6 p.m.): In 1964, French filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot (Diabolique, The Wages of Fear) set…
Enjoy Your Disgusting Booze Before Arizona Takes It Away
While there are new beers, wine, liquors, etc. introduced every day, whenever one specific alcoholic drink gets mentioned over and over, you can probably bet it’s going to be banned, whether its actually a danger to society or not. This time, the drink is Four Loko, a 12 percent alcohol/caffeine boosted energy drink that comes…
Thanksgiving Dinner: $44.17 for Family of 10
The Arizona Farm Bureau notes that the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner is on the rise, but still cheaper than two years ago: As Arizonans sit down at the Thanksgiving table to dig into the traditional feast this year, the turkey dinner with all the trimmings will cost $44.17 for an Arizona family of 10,…
Supposedly Funny Performance Announced With Deeply Unfunny Press Release
Arizona Theatre Company is bringing the Second City traveling troupe to Arizona again for a show called Sex and the Second City: Version 2.0, which is in itself not a bad thing. I heard decent things about their previous show, and while this show has a troublesome title, it could be funny, right? You wouldn’t…
Phoenix Residents Freak Over Building Of a Mosque—Until They Find Out It’s a Regular Ol’ Christian Church
From ThinkProgress: In an era saturated with absurd moments of anti-Muslim fear-mongering, mosques have become a touchstone for Islamophobia. Even unbuilt mosques have set off a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in Tennessee, Texas, California, and most notably, New York. Not to be outdone, the people of Phoenix, AZ were quick to call foul over the…
Pearce: ‘There Was No Deal Cut’
But it was Sen. Russell Pearce’s talk of refusing millions in federal funds to pay for the AHCCCS program that provides health care for a million folks in Arizona that rightfully drew the ire of MSNBC’s Ed Schultz: Can you blame him? Read that part of Pearce’s interview with Brahm Resnick after the jump. Yes,…

While you may have missed Griffin Dunne and the Heavy Metal Parking Lot guys, there’s still a lot of film left in the canisters at the Loft this week, as their film festival runs through Thursday. Tonight, there are two movies on the docket: The Milk of Sorrow at 6 p.m., and Daddy Longlegs at…
Finally, the Deliciousness of Pie Comes to the Proximity of My Desk
One of the worst things about having to go to a job everyday and sit at a desk is that you can’t just make yourself a pie when the mood strikes. One of the worst things about pie is that you can’t just magically have a pie when you want one. Making a pie requires…
Mike Huckabee is Coming to Town!
This isn’t happening until next week, but I thought I’d give everyone a chance to run out and buy all of Mike Huckabee’s children’s books so he can sign them when he comes to town next Friday. You should just be clawing your way out of the Thanksgiving tryptophan coma when Huckabee makes his appearance…

What I Did This Weekend: Arizona Opera’s “Carmen”
As someone in their 30s who spends more time at indie-rock shows than at the sort of cultural events where you have to dress up, when I told people I was going to the opera on Saturday night, the reactions were generally varying plays on befuddlement. Most people tilted their head and said, “Really?” That’s…
McCain Flip-Flop Deluxe
Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, has received lots of praise for her NoH8 video condemning Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, but c’mon folks, she’s a McCain afterall.

Light Reading for the Weekend on the Foreclosure Crisis
Matt Taibbi, who might be the most vital reporter working today not currently employed by the Tucson Weekly, spends a day in a Florida foreclosure court for Rolling Stone and what he witnesses is wildly depressing/infuriating: When you meet people who are losing their homes in this foreclosure crisis, they almost all have the same…
Totally Nuts: Pecan Festival Next Weekend
You can do all sorts of things with pecans. Rachel Ray makes martinis out of them, others make beer out of them. Some people even make pies out of them. Versatile nuts, those pecans. This is all on my mind because the second annual Sahuarita Pecan Festival takes place next weekend, and we’ve just gotten…
Native American POV on SB 1070
At a Nov. 9 discussion at Cornell University on Native American rights, Arizona’s SB 1070 came up as panelists explained the profound impact the legislation has on Native Americans living near the border: More importantly, he added, since the bill became law, racism has become legitimized, and violence against Native peoples “is more blatant than…

There have been a few rumors floating around lately about Joe Scordato’s restaurant Guiseppe’s Ristorante Italiano at 6060 N. Oracle Road.

Here’s a New One: Coulter Wants to Repeal the 26th Amendment
I know we’re not generally supposed to take Ann Coulter seriously at this point, but I have to admit that she’s come up with a somewhat unique political stance: repealing the 26th Amendment and raising the voting age back to 21. From Townhall.com: We must repeal the 26th Amendment. Adopted in 1971 at the tail…
Aw, Pearce Broke His Promise? So Shocking
From the Arizona Capitol Times: There seems to be only one topic of conversation at the Capitol right now: Is Russell Pearce already breaking the promise he made to win the contest for Senate president last week? There seem to be differing opinions on what, exactly, Pearce vowed, which in turn colors the debate on…
Shel Silverstein: Adult Style
You can never go wrong with Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, a tale about a tree who loves a boy so much that she gives him everything he needs—even if it means she’s left a stump. It’s a sad story, but one I always loved, as well as Silverstein’s children’s poetry. However, Silverstein is more…
Cine Plaza Series Returns
Take it from my 75-year-old mother, who grew up in the south part of Tucson and frequented the Cine Plaza with her sisters and parents: The Cine Plaza series at the Fox is good fun. We loved what organizers did last spring, and they promised a return with the comedies of Continflas, Tin Tan, Sara…
Second (and Likely Final) Game Show Post of the Week
Two things that made me happy today: 1. That Family Feud (much improved with Steve Harvey as the host, for what it’s worth) has a YouTube account. 2. This clip from the aforementioned YouTube account. I’d like to think this guy was going to use that answer no matter what the question was.

When People From the Sun were named Best Hip-Hop act at this year’s Tucson Area Music Awards, some music fans wondered who the group was.

The Thermals: Personal Life (Kill Rock Stars)
The Thermals race through songs like Adderall-aided students: focused, alert and precise in every note. The Portland, Ore., trio’s fifth album is once again full of punk-rock intensity and catchy pop songcraft, but the heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics are turned inward, dealing with love and heartbreak instead of the heated political screeds that characterized the band’s ascendancy.…

The Human Experience
The avant-garde art-rock of the Oakland, Calif.-based group Faun Fables might not at first seem to qualify as folk music in a contemporary sense, but it certainly addresses the concerns of being a human in a natural world, and the influences of music from a variety of cultural traditions. What could be more folk than…

A particularly bleak winter has come to the stage at The Rogue Theatre, as the company mounts a dour but gripping production of the classic play Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906). Ibsen’s approach to his 1881 work might be described as clinical. Influenced by advances in science and the writing of Charles Darwin, the Norwegian…
