* I don’t think he’s much of a manager, and the Cardinals have had their success since he became mangler in 1996 in spite of him, not because of him. But I’m thrilled with Tony LaRussa’s political acumen.
Not many people know this, but he is actually a lawyer. He graduated from Florida State Law School, and passed the bar in Florida. But since he never kept up with CLE, as he has been a little distracted over the last 30 or so years, he isn’t eligible to practice law.
* The Purple People Beaters, Los Angeles Chapter, is planning to make a roadtrip to Phoenix and collectively moon Gov. Brewer. You’d think a union would want to do something about illegal immigration, in terms of restricting it or stopping it, as their ancestors early in the last century tried to do and were finally successful in doing in 1924. The SEIU, over and above all other unions, should be the loudest mouths for immigration restriction, because they are mainly service workers that are the most easily displaced by cheap Hispanic labor.
* Queer Eye for the 48th State: It seems that the consensus among the “Human Rights” (read: alternate orientation) body politic nationwide is that they should boycott, or girlcott, or transgendercott, or boygirlcott. Which is not news to the GLBTQ business community in the Valley.
There is a “Greater Phoenix Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.” They said “chamber.” (Insert Beavis and Butthead laughing here.)
* Al Sharpton isn’t much to write home about, but it seems like his listeners at least have a little tiny bit of sense. When he started bloviating against SB 1070, they rebuked him. Now, Sharpton admits that 90% of his callers are happy with the McDonald decision.
If I didn’t know any better…well, I do know better. Virtually all of them voted Obama.
* Boo hoo ACLU. My heart really pumps purple piss. Did you know that in 2006, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory against American citizens traveling in the areas in the United States near the Mexican border? You’re all into “travel advisories,” maybe you should look into that one.
