Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik called Arizona “a mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” Sounds like a good place for a pilgrimage! An activist from Utah, Dan Baltes, arrived in Tucson on Thursday to start a recall campaign against the sheriff. “It is not antithetical to harmony,” he said, making a local gunshop his first stop [...]

America’s princess, Bristol Palin, did an exclusive phone-in with these two minor-market FM morning show announcers all about the mysteries of her life — and she called in from her Arizona stucco ghetto foreclosure about 50 miles outside of Phoenix, surrounded by garbage and cotton fields and bits of rock, and you can almost see [...]

Arizona’s horrible old white people have responded in exactly the way you’d imagine to the Tucson Massacre that took the lives of six people — including a federal judge and a little girl — and gravely injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and eight others, all for the sin of taking part in an American political get-together [...]

Remember when NPR reported that Gabrielle Giffords died, and every person on teevee assumed his or her saddest voice and said, “We can now confirm that Congressman Gabrielle Giffords has died”? Yeah, her husband saw that too. And his children. Whoops.

Hooray for Gabrielle Giffords, we think? TUCSON, Arizona — The mother of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has told friends and family that her daughter could be released from hospital as soon as Friday, according to The New York Times. In an email, Gloria Giffords also said that the congresswoman has started to look at get-well cards [...]

Yeah, this Palin embargo thing is not going to work out. Mercede Johnston is having some sort of Facebook fight with Bristol Palin. But more importantly, Mercede reveals Bristol’s secret Facebook account, which is under the brilliant porn name “Bristol Sheeran.” What can we see there? That kid of hers on the shoulders of some [...]

Jared Lee Loughner, 22, is charged in federal court in Arizona, but court officials plan to move the case out of the state within several weeks, the sources said. They cited publicity and the sensitivity of the case in Arizona, where one of those fatally shot was John M. Roll, the state’s chief federal judge. [...]

This weekly “column,” as they called it when newspapers were still printed, is a place to say funny, crazy, foul and often highly sexual things about our handsome preznit (and, occasionally, his staff.) Generally, your authoress is dependent upon the mad videography skillz of one Arun Chaudhary, Official White House Videographer and In-House Paparazzo. But [...]

President Barack Obama, who is the president of the United States (you know the guy we’re talking about here, right?), braved the hellish desert hate rays of the people of Arizona last night to speak at a memorial service held in the University of Arizona basketball arena. Apparently the assembled students didn’t realize the purpose [...]

The Wonkbot was just kicking it old-style at its tacky lakefront tract McMansion up in some snowbilly suburb by the Taco Bell and Big Lots! and Home Depot and army recruiting strip mall shop and then the Wonkbot thought, “People somewhere are doing a Jew Blood Libel on me!” So here is the “state of [...]

Saturday’s shooting spree and attempted assassination in Arizona is a story of senseless violence, mental instability, but also bravery. But also also, it is a story of dads being dads. Dads: Why won’t they leave you alone? Why are they constantly asking you to turn down the music up there? Why are they always trying [...]

And there she is, Sarah Palin, the president of having no real job outside of making certain Americans afraid of everything but themselves for money, walking down the aisle. She shakes hands with leaders of both sides, the one that wants to kill all Muslim Americans and the one that just wants to take away [...]

Let’s throw it to our top Arizona legal analyst, Rush Limbaugh, Esq., sitting in a hole of Excellent Broadcasting on the other side of the country: “This guy clearly understands he’s getting all the attention and he understands he’s got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they [...]

After seeing Rep. Gabirelle Giffords and others gunned down in Tucson on Saturday, the grieving people of Arizona came together to express a single, heartfelt sentiment: “We have to get ourselves one of those awesome gunz!” Yes, the gun shops in Arizona simply can’t keep Glocks like the one allegedly used by Jared Loughner on [...]

…Probably a little late to try to protect them, no? ARIZONA WILL NEVER UTTER THE WORD “CONTROL” AFTER THE WORD “GUN.” [HuffPo]
