The Star has an editorial called Thorns & Flowers --A roundup of actions good and bad
Each flower is awarded to a specific entity. The Tucson City Council. The parishioners at Holy Family Catholic Church.
But the thorn? The thorn is awarded to the "toll that the bad economy, and the housing downturn in particular, is having on our community." Bad 'toll.'
I can see why the Arizona Daily Star would not address the mistaken economic philosophies of Republicans as the Republicans just won a majority in the Arizona legislature. My guess is that Arizona has a lot more bad 'tolls' on the way.

Right, thanks for the lies and the hate, McCain ...
The Arizona Daily Star shows its complete lack of integrity, again. The press have lied to us for decades about McCain and now they thank him for making nice after he loses:
Without bitterness or animosity, McCain stressed the need to move beyond the election and work together to get the country moving again.McCain, like Lieberman and all the Thugs, know they can do any and every despicable act and their media enablers will still sing their praises.

Don't blame the Arizona Daily Star ...
... for the abysmal writing in this article:
Jim Abrams, listed as the writer of this piece, is another one who doesn't understand the difference between a majority vote and the 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster.
Senate votes to block tax increase for millions by Jim Abrams, The Associated Press.The Star just copied it from the AP. Perhaps the writer grew up writing about ping-pong tournaments.
House Democratic leaders throughout the day Thursday reaffirmed their commitment to PayGo.Oh, gee, a play by play. So interesting. Who cares about issues. Just tell me the Democrats (and then quote one or two) said this and the Republicans said that and then repeat, repeat.
Jim Abrams, listed as the writer of this piece, is another one who doesn't understand the difference between a majority vote and the 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster.
Earlier Thursday, Senate Republicans united in stopping the Senate from moving to the House-passed bill. The vote was 48-46 against beginning debate on the House bill, 14 short of the 60 needed.

More inanities at the Arizona Daily Star ...
"$3 gas? Who cares!" Thus Shelley Shelton begins another uninformed article at the Arizona Daily Star:
Gas prices soar, U.S. drivers still going and going ...

I sure miss the old Star, the one that did investigative reporting, the ones that balanced the power structure, by keeping citizens informed on ALL the necessary information we need to know to make good voting decision and informed opinions. Now 'investigate' isn't used when reporting community issues.......just phone calls to get local governments and big businesses say on the issue, and I should add school districts......since districts like TUSD only get Pheuffer's or Ireland's 'take' on the issues.
Sorry Star, but you did a horrible job covering the RTA suspected flipped vote scandal........intentionally. as well as other important issues, like Prop. 200. Pima County's Diebold counter and voting machines need to go, hard copy paper ballots are the only way to save the integrity of our votes and voting system, and yet you enable to very people trying to take our votes away from us.........Pima County administrator, Elections Department, and the Supervisors that refuse to give up the PUBLIC information they are required by law to divulge.......instead they allow evidence to be destroyed, and use bogus excuses to not deliver.
