Best Economic News
Microsoft Relocation
READERS' PICK: We were somewhat confused by this pick, inasmuch as Microsoft has treated Tucson in much the same fashion that U.S. corporations treat the third world: i.e., as a captive, disposable labor force that will work for little money and no benefits. Upon reflection, however, we realized that the economic news is very good for Microsoft. Once this misunderstanding was cleared up, the category made perfect sense. And let us categorically state for the record that we are VERY, VERY HAPPY that Microsoft is here, and we're not just saying that because we're afraid the Windows '95 program will destroy our hard drives. That is just an URBAN LEGEND without ONE SHRED OF TRUTH.
READERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: Slymington's Indictment. As Gov. J. Fife Deadbeat III continues to bounce back and forth between criminal and bankruptcy court, we're learning more and more about how he built his now-collapsed financial empire. And as the financial shenanigans come to light, there must be thousands of Arizonans thinking the same thing: I could get away with this shit, as long as I wasn't dumb enough to run for governor. Our crystal ball tells us there's a big builder boom coming our way courtesy of a whole scramble of slick-talking Goliaths armed with funny financial statements, delusions of grandeur and hollow dreams of larceny.
