Current news, stories of interest, humor, and photography… a motley of what's in the news today
Even skunks want to go viral! And this one in Saguaro National Park, AZ, will do some handstands for you. Below is some of the footage taken from one of the park’s wildlife camera filmed at night. “Like the other three groups of skunks, spotted skunks are capable of spraying a strong unpleasant scent as a form of defense,” the U.S. Department of the Interior wrote in its description on Instagram. “But before spraying, spotted skunks…

This hubbub in Arizona has raised a lot of questions, and anger. Personally, I think those that are supporting AZ SB 1062 are hiding behind the “Freedom of Religion” argument which they have skewed to fit their needs. Everyone has a right to follow and believe in their own religion. Doing business with homosexuals doesn’t take that away from anyone. It may be offensive to some people, but hey, there are a lot of people…

SENATE BILL 1062 was passed by the Arizona Legislature on Thursday. A bill with the purpose of making it legal to discriminate, primarily towards same-sex couples. The “Anti-Gay” Bill is now on it’s way to Jan Brewer. (My head hangs low and shakes in disgust.)
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer published a book on November 1, 2011, called Scorpions for Breakfast | My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure America’s Border. The title of this book does not set well with me. Naturally, we are aware of her hatred towards illegals from Mexico and has affiliations with CCA (Corrections Corporation of America), a private prison industry, in order to lock up and profit from the illegals…

Question: When is a woman who’s not pregnant actually pregnant? Answer: When she lives in Arizona. Arizona made big strides today in its quest to be one of the absolute worst places to be a woman—or to even have a woman in your family. Governor Jan Brewer signed into law the hideous bill, HB 2036, that redefines a pregnancy as beginning at two weeks before conception. It now appears that Jan Brewer feels like playing God and…

On Wednesday, March 21st, Arizona state Democratic lawmakers organized a news conference to discuss Debbie Lesko’s HB 2625 which allows any employer to opt out of providing contraception to their employees based upon their own religious beliefs. There has been a large outcry over this House Bill not only in Arizona but throughout the entire United States as the War on Women grows more heated every day.
To: Debbie Lesko, Majority Whip House of Representatives 1700 W. Washington Room 222 Phoenix, AZ 85007 Phone Number: (602) 926-5413 Fax Number: (602) 417-3109 Email Address: dlesko@azleg.gov From: A US-born, free citizen of the United States who is gravely concerned about your support of our First Amendment Rights as well as Women’s Rights
With all the recent news of the insanity spreading like a viral disease throughout our country, the War on Women has begun. I have always seen and believed that there are some rather ignorant people in both of our parties, but this year is much different. The Republican Party wins hands down. Bills are erupting all over the country, states ticking off one-by-one with their own bill which in some manner violates women’s rights.
Here we go again… The infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio who claims he has damning proof that Obama’s birth certificate is a fake is now claiming that Andrew Breitbart may have been the victim of an assassination as he had more proof about Obama’s birth certificate. Andrew Breitbart, a well-known controversial conservative blogger, was found dead at the age of 43 on March 1st. Arpaio is the sheriff of Maricopa County, Phoenix AZ.
During the summer of 2011, which happens to be one of the worst droughts on record for those of us here in the United States Southwest, fires erupted all over causing mass destruction in many states. I reside in Albuquerque NM, and we were very fortunate here in the city. No large fires. A few small ones sprang up in the Rio Grande Bosque, but were quickly put out with little damage. However, Albuquerque, as…
