  In 2005, our sister paper, the Phoenix New Times, published Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's home address on its website and was subsequently threatened with felony prosecution.

Last week, we noted that Village Voice Media execs and New Times founders Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin w

• What the Hell is Bill Hunt Doing Asking for Joe Arpaio's Support?!

  ​Honestly, I always felt bad for Bill Hunt, the former Orange County deputy sheriff who's running against incumbent Sandra Hutchens next year. He loudly spoke against the moron Mike Carona, only to suffer an insult so egregious--demotion to patrolling Stanton--that he rightfully resigned. The lords of the OC GOP always ridiculed him, and nearly anything they're against is righteous and holy. But there is no way on Earth I can possibly say anything nice about Hunt anymore until I receive some c

  Arpaio, Coe, and Hunt: Pendejos in a pod? For sure, the first two...​It was bad enough that Orange County Sheriff's candidate Bill Hunt invited a man as controversial as Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to shill for him at a fundraiser. But for Hunt to allow California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe into the fest means he has just sealed his fate with the rational people of Orange County. Bill: that picture. Why? Do you really want to be associated with the godmother of th
