Oh noes! The Arizona Governor is upset!
Jun. 18th, 2010 10:17 amYou see, Hilary Clinton recently said that the Obama administration will sue the state over its new immigration law. And this got Governor Brewer all pissed off.
You see, even though Clinton is part of Obama's administration, she isn't part of the Justice Department, and apparently, that irks Brewer. Also, it apparently irks Brewer that the Obama administration thinks that federal laws should be left in the hands of the federal government.
You have to love this quote, though.
Yes, yes, the majority of illegal immigrants in Arizona are of Hispanic ethnicity. But I damn well dare say that a good chunk of the legal immigrants and quite a number of U.S. citizens in Arizona are of Hispanic ethnicity. And the Arizona law doesn't treat them very well either.
So, yeah, fuck you, Governor Brewer. Take your offense and shove it.

Brewer, a Republican, said in a statement that "this is no way to treat the people of Arizona."Ummm... even the ones who "look illegal" but aren't?

Greene victory upheld
Jun. 18th, 2010 12:42 pmS.C. Democratic Executive Committee upheld the victory of Alvin Greene over Vic Rawl for the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
This means that Alvin Greene will face Jim DeMint in the November general election. Assuming, of course, that he isn't in jail for the obscenity charge levied against him. Assuming, of course, that he actually starts to mount a campaign. He didn't go to, or even send a representative to the appeal process where his primary victory could have been overturned.
