Today we wrap up Locally, Vocally’s “Summer Headlines 101″ symposium. We hope you learned something. Because we’re not sure anyone around here did.

RIO LLORENO

Well, we’ve obviously hit the “depression” stage of grief.

MUSCLE PEARCE 

Just when I think AZ politicians can’t be any worse, they go and do something like this. AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!!!

GOODNIGHT, FAX MACHINE

You’d better eat your peas, Billy.

POT SHOTS

Note to scary voices: Renew meds

Locally, Vocally makes you laugh… Locally, Vocally does not offend you… You are getting too sleepy to send hate mail…

**Editor’s Note: Apologies to my diligent readers! Yes, I did misspell Arpaio yesterday. So sorry. It’s been fixed. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks so much for your patience — I’ve been dying to dish, too!

OK… so…

SMOKEY AND THE BIGOT

Sheriff Joe is finally on trial for alleged ongoing civil rights violations that stretch back forever, and have cost taxpayers $50 million in settlement money. Not to mention most of our dignity.

Unfortunately, his Buford T. Justice haircut isn’t prosecutable.

OH, SNAP!

Recently elected Democratic sweetheart Ron Barber showed a little hand in Washington by refusing to participate in a walkout, and siding with Republicans on a liberal hot-button vote… on his first day.

I do declare, Mr. Barber. It seems you’re a politician after all.

YOU BETCHA

Sarah Palin endorses Jeff Flake.

‘Nuff said.

ONLY FOR THE BUFFALO WINGS

Frank Antenori had no comment on the question of strippers.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised: ignoring red light districts is kinda his thing…

PEARCE-ING THE VEIL

The ACLU has released emails that it calls proof that SB1070 was drafted by racist.

Next up: proof of noses on faces.

Locally, Vocally is humorous commentary. Yes it is. Yes it IS. Man, everyone’s a critic.
