Democrat Terry Goddard says if he's elected governor, he'll keep Arizona off Comedy Central for four years. It's a tall order; last night, we got two segments on The Daily Show, including this one about the SB 1070 training video for law enforcement.

Mother Jones' take on Beck University:

The forthcoming institution o'learnin', appropriately titled Beck University, will "explore the concepts of Faith, Hope and Charity and show you how they influence America’s past, her present and most importantly her future." Its faculty features such luminaries as a free-market economist whose degree is in psychology and a Texas Republican Party bigwig who hates, hates, HATES church-state separation. It even has an Ivy-style crest—featuring a feather, a buffalo, and the disembodied head of George Washington—and a Latin motto, "Tyrannis Seditio, Obsequium Deo" (roughly translated: "Revolution against tyrants, submission to God").

Classes on Faith 101, Hope 101 and Charity 101 start tomorrow. There is no tuition for Beck University, but you have to be an "Insider Extreme" subscriber to different Beck products, which evidently start at $6.26 a month.

As the city continues to cut Access Tucson's funding, the Board of Directors has voted to let Executive Director Sam Behrend go. Behrend helped launch the non-profit public-access television station in 1984 and had been executive director since 1987.

Lisa Horner, training director with the station, will take the reins as executive director.

Here's the release from Access Tucson:

This evening the Access Tucson Board of Directors approved an agreement with Executive Director Sam Behrend to leave the organization effective May 22nd. Replacing him on an interim basis will be Training Director Lisa Horner. The Board praised Mr. Behrend's leadership and his more than 26 year commitment to Access Tucson and regrets the fiscal hardships caused by a series of funding cuts from the City of Tucson that forced them to release Mr. Behrend from his contract which was to have been through December, 2011.

Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villaseñor discusses how police officers will handle the new immigration law recently signed into law during this National Public Radio interview that aired today.

Friend of the Range Timothy Archibald photographs robots being built by David Hanson for this month's Discover magazine. Discover photo director Rebecca Horne notes on her blog:

David Hanson’s robots are by now somewhat familiar faces, including his Einstein robot currently being used as a research tool at Javier Movellan’s Machine Perception Lab at UCSD, and the punk rock conversationalist Joey Chaos. A less familiar face is that of Bina Rothblatt, the blonde at the end of the table in the above photograph. Bina is a robot commissioned by Sirius Satellite Radio inventor Martine Rothblatt to look like her beloved wife. Take that, uncanny valley!
