I'm allergic to stupidity. I break out in sarcasm.

A monsoon storm drops very different amounts of rain as it tracks across the valley. One area will get dumped on while another stays bone dry. Last night was our turn; we got 1.5" in Sun City and this morning everything was covered in a layer of dried desert mud. You'd think that much rain would wash the dust out of the air and leave cars and patios clean. Nope.
After eight years here it still doesn't make any sense to me.

Two more sleeps before I leave on vacation. Pam has four more sleeps, but she flies to Oregon and I'm driving. We've already started assembling the paleo snacks I'll have with me in the car. Turns out pork rinds are paleo, and they'll make a good substitute for the Fritos corn chips that used to be one of my traveling staples.
Diet Coke.

We'll be electing a new governor this fall and campaigning is already in full swing. Arizona is pretty red, and the description "wild west" fits. No permit is required to carry a weapon, concealed or otherwise (scary), and Barry Goldwater is still a revered figure.

First come the primaries. In her TV ad one of the Republican candidates says, "NO to amnesty," and we all know she's talking about illegal immigrants.
That one line is enough to insure she doesn't get my vote.
Illegal immigrants have broken the law and should be treated accordingly. But with a problem as long-standing and complex as the immigration issue, a reasonable approach that balances justice and mercy has to be both possible and appropriate. "No amnesty" here is a buzz word (term) that means, "No mercy; send them all back." Never mind that many have been here for decades, been employed by Americans who knew they were undocumented, and raised children who, because they were born here, are U.S. citizens.
Hence, others talk about a "path to citizenship" - some set of hoops through which qualified individuals must jump that reckons with both their illegal status and their set of mitigating circumstances.
"NO amnesty" uses that word to describe anything short of sending them back. No matter how narrow and stringent the path, if it ends at citizenship it gets painted with the negatively loaded term amnesty.
That may appeal to a broad segment of the AZ population, which is why I think she made that a prominent line in her ad, but it quickly takes her off my list of possibilities.
