Personal Army For Arizona Governor?

The wingnuts in Arizona must be tired of the wingnuts in Wisconsin stealing all their insanity headlines to come up with this horseshit ...

It's Senate Bill 1495: Arizona repugican Bill Would Let Gov. Brewer Create An Armed Militia For Whatever She ‘Considers Necessary’.
jan-brewer1 Section 1. Section 26-174, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
Arizona state guard; establishment; purpose; appropriations
A. If the national guard of Arizona or a major portion thereof is called into active federal service, or if the national guard or a major portion thereof is alerted for federal service or for any other reason the governor considers to be necessary, the governor may establish an armed force for the safety and protection of the lives and property of the citizens of the state which shall be known as the Arizona state guard.
Funding? From the federal government (read - your taxes ... yeah, you in Massachusetts and the other states),  I think:
C. Appropriations made to the national guard shall be deemed appropriated to both the national guard and the Arizona state guard, if and when the latter organization is established, and any funds which that are unexpended from appropriations to the national guard may be used for establishment and maintenance of the Arizona state guard.
Nothing good can come of this - you can bet your life on it - and you will be.
