Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, seen here reacting a judge's injunction against odious portions of the state's immigration law, can barely contain her delight. Now she can continue stirring her base's anger before the election — without having to enforce anything.

Arizona's controversial new immigration law has been hailed by many on the far right. But to some, like neo-Nazi J.T. Ready, the new bill is too weak. So he and some fascist buddies are roaming the desert looking for Mexicans!
Here's the latest tough-talkin' installment of the "John McCain Completely Changes His Immigration Views" tour, in which a gang of Arizona border sheriffs pretend to enthusiastically support John McCain. Comical flip-floppery aside, McCain's rightward sprint has been incredibly effective.
New York has published a depressing profile of John McCain and his quest to become a boring right-wing hack who can survive a Republican primary. He's so miserable. And he doesn't appreciate naked children like Scott Brown giving him advice!

Arizona congressional candidate Pamela Gorman is running in a crowded Republican primary. But now she's made a silly ad where she fires various guns, so we can basically call the race. Keep shooting at the word "TAXES," Pam! Video below.
In honor of the World Cup, an eatery in the completely sane state of Arizona has added a special delicacy to their menu: lion! Yes, lion burgers, for $22. The beasts come from a farm in Illinois, not Africa.
John McCain's Senate primary opponent, ex-Rep. J.D. Hayworth, starred in a 2007 informercial for getting your hands on the "billions and billions" in federal government grants. Free money, that was yours already! Oh god, this is embarrassing.
Ever wonder what it's like to be set on fire? Step in front of the US military's "pain ray" Active Denial System and find out! It has recently been deployed to Afghanistan, but "has not been used operationally," yet.
So Hillary Clinton really did blow the administration's rollout when she told an Ecuadorian television interviewer that the administration would sue over Arizona's immigration law, which a Justice Department official has now confirmed. How "old Hillary Clinton" of her.
Hillary Clinton very casually tells an Ecuadorian television interviewer that the "Justice Department, under [Obama's] direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against" Arizona's immigration law. This is a strange way to break huge news! Maybe she lies? [via Ben Smith]
