I agree with Hank (et al?) that someone should be vetting these folks. But right now I don't see who that would be. The Hoffman committee is not a serious answer to this need. And in the meanwhile the departments need leadership.
"Flagstaffonians"? We've been called "Flaggers" "Flagstaffians" and "poor folk with great scenery". We joke, seriously, that it is "poverty with a view" because it takes extra financial commitment to make it here. Mostly, we refer to ourselves as "Flagstaffians". Thanks for your fantastic news letter, I look forward to reading it daily! Cheers from a long time Flagstaffian.
The MUR clip on Politics Unplugged was part Kari Lake and part Kyrsten Sinema. I guess "the party is over". No more shots with lobbyists. Like Sinema, she is signaling with her clothes. MUR ditched the slinky backless red dress she regularly wore at the Legislature for a modest pink sweater from the 1980s Office Worker Barbie collection.
The worst part about MU-R is that every once in a while she says something I wholeheartedly agree with. Case in point, she raised hell with our school's site council over puritanical dress codes blaming the girls at our school for the misbehavior of middle school boys (shocking - huh? - who would imagine a middle school boy behaving boorishly?). As I sat in the site council meeting reading her diatribe all I could think of was "how can you stay mad at her on days that she's right?".
I hate it when people who normally p!ss me off do something human.
Footnote - While I have no personal knowledge whatsoever, I strongly doubt that bodyshots are completely out of her repertoire. Some naughty habits are just too tough to give up.
Hahahahaha - yeah they do record at 10 a.m. - subtle, Hank - I caught that. Those of us who foolishly crossed her path in the student dropoff line at school quickly learned not to argue with a former college rugby player amped up on a few hundred mg's of caffeine.
Kolodin alternates between threatening to shoot you or demanding a B-job. MU-R doesn't say she's going to kick your ass (or leave any doubts about her sexual expectations). She just does it.
While we definitely don't like each other, I do find it entertaining to light her up every once in a while. Just to watch the fireworks. She never disappoints.
How about the Senate go back to the normal historical practice of the committee of competency be assigned the confirmation process? That ensures that there is no Hoffman Star Chamber and that Hobbs' nominees are given a fair and competent review.
Don't blame Gov. Hobbs one bit. Hoffman is a paid hit-man. Michelle U.R. is an alien life-form with nice looks. "The beat goes on" - S. Bono.
A couple of weeks ago Will Humble outlined ways for the Governor to do this: https://azpha.org/2023/09/15/time-to-play-hardball-with-agency-director-nominations-heres-a-playbook/

Yikes. MUR was unhinged. So exactly what I've come to expect.
Was?
Is.
Always has been.
It's hard to judge from names, but isn't that list from Duda nearly all women (11 out of 13)? I suppose that might help explain Hoffman's hostility.
I've just trademarked that band name for my future punk rock outfit. Look for Hoffman's Hostility at your favorite venue next year!
Contact Jeff DeWit if you have any QAnon screeds that you are performing. If you can afford less than $1,000 a month, that's all the better.
Hmmm ... Hoffman is not only an entitled jerk, she's a sexist. Eleven of the appointees have women's names.

Funny. She’s nuts.
