Yikes. Someone sent Sheriff Joe Arpaio a bomb, but it was intercepted before it reached his offices and destroyed. Arpaio, 80, is a controversial figure for his stance on immigration and his treatment of prisoners. (photo by Darryl Webb/Reuters)
Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Tent City” subjected to mass protest: Last night, thousands of people protested outside of the outdoor facilities that Maricopa County, Az. uses to jail its prisoners, a cost-saving measure implemented by Arpaio which many consider inhumane. Many of the protesters wore shirts and held signs that said “Standing on the side of love,” which is a slogan used by the Unitarian Universalist Association. The religious group was holding a convention in nearby Phoenix this weekend. (photo by Matt York/AP)

To help the president of the United States, let’s go to the microfiche. All you have to do if you’re the president is go to the Department of Health, or whatever, and release the microfiche.Maricopa, AZ’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio • Taking birtherism to a dizzying, inane new height. We especially like how he couches it - “to help” President Obama. Arpaio has also formed what he referred to as a “posse” to investigate the President’s entirely well understood birth, and at a Tea Party Rally last month he said “…there could be a shock there somewhere that my guys came up with. I can’t talk too much about it. It’s in the process.” Just like Donald Trump’s investigators in Hawaii, huh? source (via • follow)
» Other fun stuff they found: When the flashy/crazy (depending on your viewpoint) Arpaio goes after immigrants, he doesn’t screw around, and this time was no exception. On top of the dozens of arrests, his people found 725 pounds of marijuana and a bit of meth. Oh yeah, among the list of people helping out Joe with his sweeps? Steven Seagal.
The Incredible Hulk now The Incredible Illegal Immigrant Hunter: You loved Lou Ferrigno when he turned green and his muscles got really big. Now he’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s right-hand man for fighting illegal immigration in Arizona. Be scared. source
