Rally to End the Genocide in the Darfur Region of Sudan
Remarks by Ross C. “Rocky” Anderson
Mayor of Salt Lake City April 30, 2006
Listen carefully to these words:
The problem is immediate. The problem is essentially a humanitarian one. . . . It is. . . a problem for enlightened civilization. We have talked; we have […]
At tonight’s White House Press Corp dinner Steven Cobert, in the giuse of his talk show charachter, pulled out all the stops. (Qicktime version - big)
But not before Bush pulls a funny himself. Except it was uncomforatbly not so funny.
www.CrookandLiars.com also linked to the full C-Span broadcast in its entirey. It appears to […]
Utah State Democratic Party Communications Director Jeff Bell recently discovered that his 13-year-old son knows neither what holocaust means nor the word genocide. Do Utah public schools exclude the holocaust in the their curriculum? We’ll find out. I’ll be following this story. I hope it’s not true, but if it is, we are […]
This is amazing. I wrote this post a month ago.
Looks like I was pretty pissed when I wrote it. (I hate war and death). These talking-points-parrots…It’s SO un-original anymore.
So apparently (or serendipitously) someone in Eastern Idaho (probably googling Hitler) alerted this editorial writer (probably members of the same brotherhood) for The Davis County Clipper that […]
If you are reading this post, you’re probably old enough to have developed some level of hardened cynicism. But you are also an exception at some level because you are reading this post.
You probably also know that Orrin Hatch makes decisions based exclusively upon what will get him re-elected. He is after thirty years possibly […]
This letter to the editor in yesterday’s Salt Lake Tribune is a taste of what’s to come from Ed Firmage soon, if not tonight…on this blog
Mero gets us nowhere
Paul Mero’s April 9 column about Kanab’s “natural family” resolution was so filled with ad hominem attacks against his opponents that it was impossible to decipher any […]
I think Jerome’s reasoning as reported by Markos for not making the Utah stop on the book tour for “Crashing the Gates” was classic, “I’m not coming to Utah!”.
That’s OK, neither did the DNC or any presidential candidate from either party in the last cycle.
But Markos did, and he is very cool. I wish his […]
For those of you who missed it, my friend Greg Felice put thankyouharrytaylor.org in the wee hours of the morning the following day. It went national within minutes thanks to DailyKos.
Incidentally, Markos was in Salt Lake tonight, and is every bit the gentle wise mensch I though he would be.
When thankyouharrytaylor.org crashed because of […]
Join us at the City County Building on Sunday April 30 from 3-4 p.m. to demonstrate that we care about the horrible genocide taking place in Dafur. Because we must.

DailyKos blogger, activist and co-author Markos Zuniga will speak tonight.
6:30 p.m. - Fiddler’s Elbow 1063 East 2100 South. Do come?
Blogging and the use of the internet as an organizing messaging tool has become critically important in shaping policy and politics across the nation and especially in Utah.
Last fall, Frank Pignanelli & LaVarr Webb wrote […]
On any given day, a sense of despair can come over me. Be it the apathy of the masses or the stubborn righteousness of many, it’s easy let the world push you back in total frustration.
It seems today, that activists are almost oddballs. Why fight? Why bother?
But for me it’s easy because my grandfather and […]
Deseret Morning News reporter Kersten Swinyard interviewed me for today’s article Blogger’s mellow; his site’s got sass about Ethan’s www.slcspin.com.
The article and Ethan accurately point out that “When you start a blog, you should be ready for it to be just you.”
That statment is more true than I’d like to admit. I started OneUtah […]

A recent episode in California raises concern.

Summary: In 1990 oil & gas contributions to republicans was 6.5m which represented 62% of the total for both parties. Last year that Number was 20.5m and 80%.
Bill Moyers, in an earlier time, would have been the wise man in his village. We are fortunate to be able to hear him today.
This article, “A Time for Heresy”, is a MUST READ
In it he lists “Some simple facts:”
The number of lobbyists registered to do business in Washington has more than doubled in the […]
We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new […]
There has been some debate about the strength of the economy on this board as it relates to jobs and poverty. I found this excellent post on DailyKos which I believe lays out the statistics without the spin (for those of you that think anything anti-Bush is spin, why aren’t you rich and in […]
While walking to work today, I thought about the recent Bush decision to shift Karl Rove away from administration policy making and back to national politics. This shift evidences a tacit admission of a failed administration.
During the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, the nation was told over again how Republican policies, particularly those of Bush, […]
A local blogger and one of the greatest people I’ve met has posted an important update on Utah’s pending election disaster.
…and the guy that let it happen is Bush. Is it any wonder his approval rating has dropped to 33% according to Fox News.
Why are we being punished? What will we learn from this? […]
