From Brake over at Accountability, sounds like bad news.
Maybe I’m psychic. Maybe I’m just a pessimist. Maybe I could see the train coming down the railroad track because, like so many other public school advocates, I was standing on the track when it hit us. Without any interviews, without any time for public input to [...]

Hey, sometimes folks get it wrong, like the Utah Policy Daily did today with this silly nugget:

Calvin Lewellyn Rampton
Cal Rampton was one of Utah’s most popular governors, serving three terms from Jan. 4, 1965, to Jan. 3, 1977. He was preceded by George Dewey Clyde and succeeded by Scott M. Matheson. He died Sept, 16, [...]

Pollution: 1. bad for everyone or 2. a myth perpetrated by goofy liberals who want sissy things like clean air, clean water and something other than subdivisions to pass onto our children?
Work with me here … according to the fundie nutjobs that talk to God three or four times a day (do you think God [...]

Disturbing is one word I’d use here. Insane is another. You want a phrase? Sharp as a marble. All of that completely understates my feelings on republicans in Utah (and around the country) when it comes to this planet and the environment.
A couple of things have sparked my annoyance in the last week:
First, as reported [...]

Do you think that Democrats in Utah have the testicular fortitude to make a point this clearly or this powerfully? Sadly, I doubt it. We have a legislature that is far worse than the Republican Caucus in California, but, year after year, Democrats keep trying to polite their way into office instead of framing the [...]

Isn’t it painfully ironic that Utah Republicans in the legislature can have a slick and professional technology apparatus running the whole of the 2008 legislative session and yet still be so completely clueless as to how these internet tubes function? If it weren’t for Ric Cantrell, the Republicans in the Utah Senate would still be [...]

I’m going to poach a couple of bits from Walsh’s column, but, I want you to go read the whole thing, cut and paste it into a word document, then save it until November. The Wednesday after election day, I want you to open it, read it, and then punch yourself in the forehead.

Given the [...]

Ah, Buttars. That I don’t live in your Senate district, and thus can’t run against your sorry, racist, bigoted, hypocritical and hateful ass is nearly a daily pain for me. That I live within mere blocks of your district (I can throw a rock into it) makes me want to howl to the [...]

Evidently Neal B. Hendrickson has decided that he’s had enough of us “Wasatch-Front Northerners” and is asking for Utah’s Dixie to secede from our glorious Deseret union!
Yep, that’s right, folks! One of the new bills that will be considered by the state legislature this session calls for exactly that: A separate state whose northern border [...]

If you go back a few months, I issued an ultimatum to members of the Utah Legislature. Read it again, it’s kick ass: “ULTIMATUM - Dear Legislator, vote for Henry’s Bill, first time felony, or else”
Well, it got a new comment today that I thought I’d share with you fine people.
We have a very good [...]

Bless the City Weekly. When they’re on, they’re on. This article is a love way from Ted McDonough being completely unable to understand Dean’s 50 State Strategy, no matter how many time you explain it to him.
I think this is yet more proof of the CW’s growth over the last few years.
This week’s issue contains [...]

I don’t think I’ve had my breath taken away from news as quick as this did it. Senator Eddie has been an inspiration to me and I cannot fathom the size of the hole Eddie’s passing will cause in the lives of those who knew him.
Senator Mayne once teared up when we talked about dogs [...]

Bob Jones III, anti-Christ Christian president of the anti-Christ Christian University, Bob Jones University (wonder how he got that job?) decided to endorse Mitt Romney and kick him in the balls all at the same time.
He was nice about it though, here’s what he had to say about the LDS faith and ol’ Mitt:
• “As [...]

I may not understand polygamy, and I certainly wonder at the sanity of those who practice it, but, in all honesty, I have no real problem with the theory of it, except for the treatment of the kids.
If everyone involved were over 18: I wish you every happiness.
If the men involved don’t rape, abuse, [...]
