Here's the kicker: The review is credited to Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinal. That's right kids, if you can write 400 words and live in Florida, you, too, can have the top-news slot in Tucson, Ariz.

Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman, who is expected to announce his campaign for U.S. Sen. John McCain's seat in early April, may be having trouble with Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is rumored to be hunting for a stronger candidate in race, especially with the possibility (however slight) that McCain could lose to Republican J.D. Hayworth in the GOP primary.

Huffington Post blogger Marlene H. Phillips reports that Glassman's supporters are coming to his defense:

One candidate, Tucson City Council member Rodney Glassman, has spent the last eight months establishing an exploratory campaign team while gathering support for a possible run (Glassman has publicly stated he will not make a formal announcement until early April, after Tucson's budget is finalized). Now Politico reports another Democrat, businesswoman Nan Stockholm Walden, may also be considering a run for the Senate seat.

But some Arizona Democratic activists are questioning who's behind Walden's sudden mention as a possible challenger, and they're pointing an accusatory finger toward Washington D.C. According to a report in the National Journal, some Democrats in the nation's capital believe Glassman may not have sufficient Washington credentials to be a strong contender, and could be encouraging

Joe Scordato seems happy to be back in the restaurant business, and why wouldn’t he? His name is synonymous with fine food in this town and people have reportedly been flocking to his new Italian restaurant, Guiseppe’s, since it opened a few weeks ago at 6060 N. Oracle Road.

Scordato sold his popular and well-reviewed restaurant Trattoria Guiseppe about eight years ago and has been repairing appliances and hanging drywall for a living ever since. He said the urge to cook again struck when he helped his brother, Daniel Scordato, open Pizzeria Vivace last summer.

He’s partnered with two former employees for his newest venture, and despite long hours and some very busy dinner hours, is thrilled to be back at it.

“I just love to cook and it’s fun to have people enjoy your food,” said Scordato. “I’ve had people stick their heads in the kitchen and just yell, ‘Thank you! Thank you!’”

The most expensive item on the menu is $16, but a large plate of pasta and meatballs will set you back about $7. Wine ranges from $11 to $32 per bottle, and a draft Peroni costs $2.75.

Must try items? Scordato says the Bolognese sauce made with prosciutto, pork sausage, beef, veal, heavy cream and tomato paste is very popular. He’s also been getting great feedback about the seafood soup, and says he’s never sold so many stuffed mushrooms in his life.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday.

The smashed windows at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' office is the subject of a CBS News report tonight. There's also a mention of the crosshairs that Republican Sarah Palin has placed on congressional districts across the country, including Giffords' CD 8.

• A broken window at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' office

Weird and violent acts by the fringe right, such as the smashing of the windows at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' office, are spreading across the country in the wake of the health-care vote.

Max Fisher of the Atlantic Wire notes:

As conservative anger over the passage of health care reform seeps into the furthest reaches of the right wing, pundits are struggling to comprehend the wave of small-scale violence against Democratic members of Congress. Thankfully, none of the violence has been anything approaching fatal. Rather, it is restricted to vicious but unfulfilled threats and incidents of bricks thrown through windows. But, for Congressmen concerned about their family's safety, it is worrisome nevertheless.

A message on the answering machine at Barrio Food and Drink says the restaurant has closed and that the business will continue on as Barrio Catering.

Rumors have circulated for months, but this is the first solid information we've received concerning the fate of the downtown restaurant. The Arizona Daily Star published this article earlier this month, but couldn’t get in touch with the owner to verify the closing. Then, Inside Tucson Business put out this short story hinting that Janos Wilder may open up shop in the space. We talked with Wilder last week, and he had no comment on the ITB story or his plans to eventually open a new restaurant downtown.

In related news: Ciaran Wiese, who created many of the popular drinks at Barrio Food and Drink (including the Basil Collins, last year's second-runner-up for the Best of Tucson® Best Signature Cocktail award), is now working at Maynards Market and Kitchen. Wiese, who spent time honing his bartending skills in New York, is expected to be quite an asset to the cocktail programs at Maynards and across the street at Hotel Congress.
