For those in the Salt Lake City and surrounding areas, tonight is your last chance to be actively (as opposed to the habitual passively) ignored by your republican legislators.
The “Redistricting Committee” has been holding a “series of hearings” to get “public input” on congressional redistricting options. The [...]

Go see this film. I’m not kidding, either.
I know he’s short, I know he’s blond, and know he’s not Sean Connery or George Lazenby, but this is a really good movie, and, I’d say one of the top 3 best Bond films. Like this:
Dr. NoO.H.M.S.S.Casino Royale
Yeah, I know this isn’t political, but, hey, you can [...]

Nancy Pelosi says thank-youBy Richard A. Viguerie
Nancy Pelosi, who stands to be Speaker of the House when the new Congress is sworn into office, is a smart politician, and one of the smartest things she and other Democratic leaders did this year was to step aside as much as possible and let the Bush Republicans [...]

This is how Fox News justifies things like, say, torture. This IS NOT A SPOOF.
From C&L: I’m sure Alberto Gonzales was checking the Nielsen ratings on “24″ before he rendered his decision on torture.

Enid Greene called 2006 the “year of no change” in Utah earlier today, up at the U of U today, but, as results came in today, it seems she’s wrong.
Races that changed: State Rep 22, Carl Duckworth (D-Magna) wins by 33 votes over “Pants On Fire” Deena Eli and County Auditor Elect Jeff Hatch wins [...]

There was an interesting article in the Provo Daily Herald.
It was about the fight for Utah’s 4th seat at the cost of giving DC a vote in the House. There are a lot of different reasons for people to like or dislike the bill the Rep. Davis pushed forward, but this one is the plain [...]

Sorry there has been so little info posted the last few days.
Craig and I were in Jackson Hole for the DNC and ASDC post election meeting.
I’ll get some pictures up and share a little information hopefully before Thanksgiving.

With Democrats entering the 110th Congress with a 51-49 majority in the Senate, many issues will compete for a priority place on the agenda, including investigating the conduct of the Iraq war and implementing the 9/11 Commission recommendations.
But when you listen to every Democrat from Kennedy, to presumptive Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to [...]

Joe McCarthy was the first to use the “Democrat [sic] Party” misnomer. However, its use became much more pervasive when Newt “Divorces his wife on her cancer treatment recovery bed, is a deadbeat dad, but still calls himself the ‘Family Values’ poster boy” Gingrich, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh practically made it mandatory in [...]

Don’t forget, voting ends TOMORROW. The polls are open from 7am until 8pm.
The State Democratic Party Shin-dig at the Marriott Downtown* starts at 8pm., across the street from the Salt Palace. 75 S. West Temple.
*This will most likely be the LAST time we use the Marriott Downtown, so, come and say good-bye to the building.

As I mentioned to Mr. Cannon in the last post, there are some things that you just don’t poke fun at. Disabilities, child victims and felonious gambling lobbyist pals.
This, however, is an example of a GREAT punchline:

Seriously. I am not making this up.
Last night at the BYU 3rd Congressional District debate, Republican Rep. Chris Cannon made claims that the President of the United States is hiding a learning disability.
VIDEO HERE:
So, either Rep. Chris Cannon is under the impression that a learning disability is something that should be hidden and ashamed of, [...]

I have found my new favorite ad of the election cycle. I think this one will maintain the top spot this year. Way to go Pete Ashdown.
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.
