One Utah

This from Amy commenting on the previous story from Annette, deserves top posting - Cliff
I left the LDS church over this one too. There were, of course, other issues, but during the time of Amendment 3, I had finally had enough. I guess you could say that it was the straw that broke the camel’s [...]

I’ve invited some of my favorite people (and some strangers) to write something to top post here…before the committee meets. This is from my friend Annette. She’s a georgeous British-Jamaican sweetheart. I love her.

He gave a talk at the Hinckley Institute. Dressed for skiing. He just bought a house in Eden.

Today will be a weird day, it seems. Alito’s nomination slunks forward, its intergenerational impact unappreciated by the masses. A qualified jurist, no doubt, but also a deeply partisan man with unspoken agendas. On the brink of confirmation we are reminded of another jurist, whose work Alito has pledged his soul to [...]

My good friend and blogger Ken Bingham of Oblogatory Anecdotes, much to my disappointment, continues to perfect the art of shrilling for the ultra-conservative right-wing.
Sadly, extremist blogs, threaten the greater potential of this medium by giving credence to common and justified criticisms. As Joe Klein put it recently, “Well I bow to nobody in, in [...]

Is it just me, or is the world going crazy? Not really the world actually, just the US. And not in some ways, in so many ways that to list them has become cliché.
I hate to imagine how the rest of the world sees us. “We the people’s” experiment in transparent democracy, the holy grail [...]

Why would someone with a good job in the private sector, dependant upon his/her professional reputation (George Washington Law School Professor Jonathan Turley), risk everything to speak out against a sitting president’s abuse of power and sweeping claims of authority?
Nevertheless, people with everything to lose, and nothing to gain are doing it.

Senator Patrice Arent-D has authored an anti-bullying resolution, which will be introduced in this session! Representative Ronda Menlove-R is the House Sponsor. (The Utah Board of Education has drafted a similar policy )
This is a great thing because recent studies have shown that feeling safe at school may in fact be the single best [...]

Sim Gill is one of those great people you meet in life, that make you feel better about our future. I don’t know the others.
I also understand Sim has done a lot of pro bono service, so you know his heart is in the right place.
Lets keep the Valley happy!
