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 the most superficial, despicable sell-out on the planet today. Under similar circumstances, I am convinced he would have been equal to Stalin or Hitler. One need only listen to his shrill sickening protestations of reasonable dissent on any number of issues in which democrats have objected. He has supported Bush on virtually everything, and his wife has left him (this is rumor by the way but almost as easiliy verified as global warming).
The fact that he will be at the Utah Capitol tomorrow at noon to protest the storage of nuclear waste on the Gosute tribe land is motivated by the fact that he is, while evil, not stupid enough to miss this event. Even Orrin Hatch understands that everybody who understands this issue is outraged, and wants more controls and assurances that at the very least, the proper precautions will be considered before we risk the potential destruction of a huge chunk of Utah and possibly the entire Rocky Mountain West if the administration’s corrupt, reckless, and irresponsible policies are allowed to prevail.

Maybe Pete Ashdown’s Mom will show up and BITCH SLAP him!
