Oh, Jan Brewer! What a wacky, lovable scamp you'd be if it weren't for all the bigotry and egregious human rights abuses! Deflating speculation that she might challenge Arizona law and pursue a third term as governor, Brewer announced today that she's decided to call it quits. Thank fucking god.
A lawsuit challenging Arizona's limits on the use of RU-486 was filed in federal court on Tuesday.
Have you consumed the FDA recommended serving of schadenfreude today? Better watch this clip of Catholic League President Bill Donohue, a famous sufferer of both congenital bigotry and progressive Irish Fat Head Syndrome, freaking the hell out about Arizona governor Jan Brewer's rejection of a bill that would have…
Like you and everyone else who is sane, Anderson Cooper is done with all these dumb anti-gay "religious freedom" bills that are cropping up in a couple of states. Like, seriously fucking done with them.
Three Republican lawmakers are having a desperate change of heart regarding a bill that would make it legal for businesses to discriminate against gay patrons.
George Takei has written an extraordinary response to Arizona's ridiculous anti-gay law, and it's predictably great.
The Arizona House and Senate have passed legislation that lets businesses refuse services to gay people on religious grounds.
A Chandler, Arizona woman was arrested after hospital staff caught her injecting syringes full of fecal matter into the IV of her husband, who was recovering from surgery.
Today, USAToday and local media reported that a 16-year-old girl is being tried as an adult in the case of the murder of her 43-year-old boyfriend, who she killed "during sex" while her mother was in the other room. Missing from the story? Arizona's age of consent, which is 18. Everyone just kind of glossed over that.
Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake recently took his two youngest sons on a highly-publicized survivalist adventure on a desert island. It must've been a calming respite for 15-year-old Tanner, whose aggressive social media presence suggests he'll make the perfect Republican politician someday: he plays the iPhone…
"Legitimate" rape is so 2012. Now we have "rare" rape, care of Republican Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, who proved today that the trend of old GOP bigots who think women can only get pregnant from consensual sex will never go out of style!
A man in Arizona may be forced to take down the nine-foot, hatchet-wielding gargoyle statue standing in his otherwise empty front yard because his neighbors have complained about the gargoyle’s magnificent thighs, buttocks, and penis, all clearly visible to the casual passerby. That’s right, folks — gargoyles can be…
A network of Arizona-based websites is using data from sex-offender registries maintained by law-enforcement agencies to basically extort money from purported sex-offenders, some of whom are either no longer required to register themselves or have never actually been convicted of a sex-related crime.
Good news from Arizona (shocking, we know): a federal judge overturned a law that tried to block state funding for Planned Parenthood clinics because a (/too) few of their clinics provide abortions in addition to other crucial health services. We shouldn't have to profusely thank a judge for making a just decision,…
When the going gets tough, the tough go visit the troops in Afghanistan apropos of nothing.
Arizona's Department of Health Services built a new website last week called "A Woman's Right to Know." Fascinating! What do you think women have the right to know about? A full range of contraceptive options? How the new Affordable Care Act works? The best happy hour spots in the state? No, silly! Women have the…
Hurray, somebody has finally displayed a modicum of common sense about Planned Parenthood in Arizona! And no, it's not Governor Jan Brewer after she spent one harrowing night with the ghosts of her Christmas past, present and future and realized through this intense evening of self-discovery that she was just a big…
Uh-oh. Looks like anti-abortion political grandstanding and getting shouty at press conferences doesn't actually do anything to reduce the number of abortions in a state. Case in point: Arizona — a state chock full of lawmakers so shirt-rendingly pro-life that it just passed the country's most restrictive 20-week…
Earlier this summer, in an egregious case of power-tripping entitlement, Arizona police officer Robb Gary Evans drove drunk to a bar, showed his badge at the door to get in sans cover, walked up to a friend of a friend and put his hand up her skirt so he could "run his fingers" across her genitals without consent.…
Jan Brewer, Arizona governor and Glendale Community College's most famous radiologic technologist certificate recipient, is actually The Worst. I know I've said that about a lot of people — Paul Ryan, Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Walker, Texas Ranger — but Brewer has gone above and beyond to show America again and again…
