Reader Comment of the Day

I agree TOTALLY!! My husband and I moved to Scottsdale 8/8/2007 from Knoxville, TN. He works in the golf industry, so I don't have to defend myself there. We have both HATED it since we got here!!! HA We are planning on moving in the next few months due to FAKE, LAME, INSECURE people. Back in ol TN you are taught to say: Please, Thank you, Excuse ME......but here those words don't seem to exist. Get some manners people!!!! And I can't stand people saying "Where are you from?" Alright I DO have an accent, and I'm NOT from TEXAS!!! People here can't seem to grasp that Texas isn't the only Southern State!!! Oh yea, one more thing.........Scottsdale people CANNOT DRIVE!!!!!!!! Come to the south and we'll teach you how to really drive.

"For your consideration:

Most of you are aware that pro-illegal AZ Governor Napolitano took over 1 million dollars of funding away from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio this past week. Apparently numerous people from all over the U.S. phoned Joe to see if he would accept donations, and then a very popular local radio personality started the "Pennies For The Posse" fund-raiser for Sheriff Joe.

Sheriff Joe embodies what most of us believe in, when it comes to our country. I see this as an opportunity to show the illegals and the pro-illegal legislators how very strongly we feel about this issue.

Sheriff Joe, as you know, always gets a lot of air time, and shoots from the hip.

I'm a donor. I'm retired and on a fixed income, but I'll give Sheriff Joe $100 to keep making that very strong outspoken statement. I can't think of a better way to spend my money.

Sheriff Arpaio accepting donations to fight illegal immigration

The sheriff made news when he set up an illegal immigration hot-line. Now he's set up another one to help fund his efforts to fight it. Earlier this week, the governor cut money more than $1 million from the sheriff's budget to fund a statewide task force to hunt fugitives.

Arpaio said residents and people from out of state called to donate their own money to fund his fight against illegal immigration. "We're receiving emails and calls from people that just were angry and just wanted to know how they can help."

He said donations can be made out to MCSO Donation Fund and must be earmarked for illegal immigration. Checks should be mailed to 100 West Washington, Ste. 1900, Phoenix, Ariz., 85003

KTAR-FM host Larry Gaydos hosted a radio-thon "Pennies for the Posse" on Wednesday night to raise money for the sheriff's effort to fight illegal immigration." END QUOTE

I'm from the South also. Been stuck in Scottsdale for 16 years. I would miss the food shopping (vegetarian) and dry air and NOTHING else! Strike the shopping; Atlanta has that. 16 years and NO emotional attachment WHATSOEVER!! If I ever get out of here, I'll say "What took me so long?" No charm, no flavor, no architecture. BLAND BLAND BLAND, and incredibly RUDE BLAND Midwestern people. I feel like I'm brain dead. Good for you for less than one year here. You didn't make a mistake in alot of ways.
