Welcome to Arizona, where summer spends the winter – and hell spends the summer.
It’s so hot even my fake plants are wilting.

Arizona faces many challenges ahead. None is more important or more pressing than passing a new state budget.

You know you live in Phoenix when the four seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and are you freakin’ kidding me?!

Myths that need clarification: “Everyone in California lives on a white, sandy beach.” False. The only people who live on California beaches are vacationers from Arizona, Utah, and Nevada who own condos.

Where we’re always short on water
And even if the sun fell upon us
It couldn’t get any hotter.

A hundred ten in the shade is sorta hot, but you don’t have to shovel it off your driveway.
You know you’re an Arizona native when you “hug” a cactus only once in your lifetime.

I often say that Arizonans should decide what’s best for Arizona.
