Immigration - Break it down
This is big. And if we do not get it under control it could easily escalate to things we do not want. The biggest problem is that everyone wants a comprehensive solution after ignoring the problem for decades.
DON”T EAT THE ELEPHANT IN ONE BITE, Break it down.

If the solution from our government does not include massive deportation, more illegals will try to flood across. If we try to deport 11 million people they will just [...]
Coming soon…but not so soon, not really
The Web site says it’s “coming soon,” but isn’t that a relative term? I mean, is February 14, 2012, really that soon? That’s the date developers have planned as opening day for the new Scottsdale Museum of the West. They’d like it to be here in time for Arizona’s centennial. But museum board members have a lot of money to raise first–about $20 million. When it does arrive, the 45,000-square-foot museum will take up about an acre of city-owned land in downtown Scottsdale. Planned to promote the

Is someone jealous?
Is someone jealous? Posted by Josey under County Government , State Government No Comments Pima County Supervisor Ann Day had some pretty harsh words regarding the news that Jan Brewer may soon be the Governor of Arizona. The tone of Day’s remarks was nasty even to use on someone of the opposite political party, never mind that they are both Republicans. Day summed up: She does not have a positive attitude toward Pima County We are not sure that is true but with comments li

Tynes still getting kicks with Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD ? Lawrence Tynes wasn?t in uniform when the Giants beat the Steelers on Oct. 26. But he was on the sidelines, which put the kicker in perfect position to make his play.

There, linebacker James Harrison frantically practiced long snaps in order to replace regular Greg Warren, injured in the third quarter. Spurred by what he saw, Tynes jumped in front of his own gathering def

AP: Napolitano Would Send National Guard Back To The Border
Check this: Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, President-elect Barack Obama’s reported primary choice for Homeland Security secretary, says she still thinks National Guard troops should be sent back to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Guard troops were deployed for two years to support the Border Patrol as it hired more agents, but the troops left in July.

The Quarterback Merry-Go-Round
There are a few names that float around that can make any Bills fan flinch--Scott Norwood, OJ Simpson, Wills McGahee. But lately, the name that floats around the most is J.P. Losman, the 2nd string quarterback that every Bills fan loves to hate on. I remember when I was watching the Bills play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, when Trent Edwards was sacked and suffered the concussion. The moment Losman started jogging onto the field to take Edwards' place, half the people watching the game at t
