What’s the Matter With Arizona?

Wow… I’m starting to feel like my state is to the US what the US is to the rest of the world… real unpopular!

One guy is really “burning up the blogs” with some “controversial wishes for the President,” according to MSNBC. Hey, a great excuse to publicize yet more crazy death threats against Barack Obama!

Steve Anderson is a Baptist preacher who prays to Jesus Christ for Barack Obama to “die and go to hell.” That is just one of the many crazy hateful things he says all the time!

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, MSNBC reminds us, warned us about the crazy right-wing extremism on the rise. And as the former governor of Arizona, she should know: this insane Anderson preacher is from Tempe, Arizona!

It was just 18 short years ago that Chuck D and Flavor Flav were on their way to Arizona to set those dumbass white folks straight, but apparently they never made it.

“Non Precipitation Advisory”

So I have weatherbug installed on my computer.  When I logged in, I saw I had a couple alerts.  Alert 1 was a non-precipitation advisory.

You’re kidding, right, Weatherbug?  I live in Phoenix.  We’ve been in a drought for like, seven years.  Droughts here can go on for like, thirty years.

Needless to say, I stopped expecting precipitation a long ass time ago.

Hello, Summer.
