Adam SandlerThe Center for Responsive Politics notes that a certain Adam Sandler, a self-employer actor who lives in Manchester, N.H., contributed $2,100 on Feb. 6, 2007, to the campaign of presidential candidate and Phoenix Costco shopper Rudy Giuliani. (See July 25 post.)OK, so Giuliani has figured out how to harness the elusive 13-year-old and 14-year-old boys voter demographic. But there

President Bush (center)There are few things in life more important to Sen. Jon Kyl than NASCAR. He rarely misses a race. He attends them in person, watches them on television or listens to them on radio every week.Furthermore, the senator has done a live Monday morning race wrap-up segment on Phoenix country music station KMLE-FM 108 for more than a year. Kyl calls deejay Dave Pratt from his office in Washington to offer his detailed analysis on the air.Midway through the live NASCAR segment one Monday last month though, Kyl got a call on another line. President Bush was calling from Air Force One.Kyl quickly told Pratt and the radio audience that he had to duck out early to take president
Jon KylA few days ago, Sen. Jon Kyl explained a legal argument that could be used to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to parents who are illegal immigrants. (See previous post.)Kyl said effort to clarify the matter

The former New York mayor blew a good opportunity to make his first big campaign stop in Arizona.Consider Republican rival Mitt Romney

Jon Kyl took on the question of whether children born in the United States to parents who are illegal immigrants are U.S. citizens by birthright.Kyl, who is an attorney by training, said those children may not, in fact, be entitled to automatic U.S. citizenship, which currently is the widely accepted practice.
Elias Bermudez (center)Apparently Elias Bermudez missed the memo that states that anyone interested in public policy is expected to demonize anybody and everybody who holds contrary political views.Bermudez is president of Immigrants Without Borders and is one of the leading voices in the local immigration reform movement. He is an outspoken advocate of providing legal status to illegal immigrants already living in the United States, and creating a temporary worker system that would allow foreign nationals to cross the border to obtain jobs here.A few months ago, he told me that building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border is a waste of money. He said it would be far less expensive for U.S. Border Patrol agents to simply meet illegal immigrants at the line and give them a couple grand apiece to return to Mexico. Bermudez was serious about the idea. Clearly, he is far on the liberal end of the immigration reform debate.Earlier today, I spoke to him about Sen. Jon Kyl, whom Time magazine called
