I’d LOVE to get paid to blog at my job, “on the taxpayers’ dime” as you refer to it. DO TELL me how to do so, since apparently I’m doing something wrong at my job because I spend two days in court a week prosecuting, and the rest of the week doing projects, research, and legal-related writing. I have to do all my blogging early in the morning before I leave for work, and write my articles for the American Spectator and Townhall.com on the weekends.

I’ll be eagerly waiting your response.

The thread had real gems, such as “a friend” of Rachel Alexander claiming that the outing of Ms. Alexander was the work of a vindictive ex-boyfriend.

Is it not political news that a deputy county attorney, who lacks the qualifications to serve in her job in the first place, is blogging on the taxpayers’ dime?

The thread appeared in response to the entry “SA in PNT.” Now the comments section on that entry is closed. “Todd” from this thread was one of the several people who commented on the thread, so he can confirm Sonoran Alliance’s attempt at cover-up.

Apparently Sonoran Alliance is not “dedicated to reporting on Arizona’s political news,” as it claims on its mission statement.

You might consider filling out the financial disclosure forms just “paperwork” as the New Times does. Others view the financial disclosure forms, which have been required of state, county, and city public officials for more than 30 years, as significant to making government honest. Our law does require them, and no one is above the law. This, after all, is Arisona, not Illinois.

Read the indictment. I have. Again, I say give Stapley the presumption of innocence. But if what is charged is proven, Stapley is going to have a problem.

The New Times despises Arpaio and Thomas. Yet it was a cheerleader when Arpaio and Goddard went after Dowling. So it’s hard to give the New Times much credence. It is not objective.

I have no truck for the sheriff, but let’s give Thomas his day in court. If he proves it, it’s not a case of riding roughshod. If he fails, as I said, he will be the goat.

You can see right through the New Times. They had no use for Stapley, but now the enemy of my enemy is my new-found friend.

Let’s let the system work. Let’s give Stapley the presumption of innocence (more than he ever gave Sandra Dowling) and let’s presume that Thomas is acting in good faith. If Thomas can prove what he says, he’s acted with a lot of guts to take on a man as powerful as Stapley. If he can’t, he’ll be the goat.

I will say this: There’s a paper trail for most financial transactions, particularly those involving land. If Stapley failed to disclose his interests in the alleged transactions, he’ll have a hard row to hoe. He may have to resort to the Jesse Jackson Jr. defense: It wasn’t me, I didn’t know it.

Of course I predicted when this first came out that 116 of the 118 counts would be garbage. Looks like I might have been right.
