Dear OneUtah Readers:
The following is a speech I gave upon being recognized as a distinguished alumnus of the College of Humanities at the University of Utah. In the speech, I stress the importance of understanding and effectively addressing instances of injustice and genocide in today’s world. With a federal administration that has pursued unjust policies […]
Long weary of having to defend my opinions, I have always told the staunchest Bush supporters — often the most uninformed — “Don’t take my word for it. Go seek the truth for yourself.”
To that end, one should be particularly sensitive to the integrity of the person delivering the information (and their motives). Find […]
An article making its way around the Internet paints a picture of how a woman who fears being beaten subtly disagrees with her husband and “decider”.
The split has been so pronounced that President Bush faces strong opposition within his own administration to a constitutional amendment that would outlaw gay marriage. The split has […]
Best thing I’ve seen on TV in a while (especially Huffington’s opening).

Watch Description: Pat Buchanan, Ariana Huffington, Frank Rich, and Andrew Sullivan were all presenters at the 2006 BookExpo America Book & Author Luncheon in Washington, DC. The panel was moderated by Lynn Sherr, author of “Outside the Box: A […]

Early Primary Day Meltdown Reports…
[UPDATING THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE
Just some of the problems already brewing today in just two of the states, of eight, holding primary elections today. With […]
Today law enforcement officials raided the polygamist town of Colorado City. Yesterday, the Salt Lake Tribune published Polygamy victim project on defensive.
Several weeks ago on April 25, the LDS Church joined other religious bodies and leaders in signing the letter “to protect and preserve the institution of marriage between a man and a […]
This was sent to me from my Israeli cousin. Reprinted in it’s entirety.
Police aren’t perfect, but this cop comes close to winning the ingenuity award.
A driver did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman behind him went ballistic, […]
For those of you unable to hit Truthout due to exessive traffic, here are some excerpts from the followup story on the Rove indictment.
This analysis from a diarist at Kos.
“Marc Ash updated the Rove story today at Truthout speculating that Rove might be turning state’s evidence. He talks about the pressure TruthOut has come under […]
Several weeks ago on April 25, the LDS Church joined other religious bodies and leaders in signing the letter “to protect and preserve the institution of marriage between a man and a woman.” You may read the Church’s full statement on their website.
Introduction here.
Follows is the second in a series of open letters by:

Divine Strake is not itself a nuclear blast, but it’s so big that many have said that the test is simply an end-run around the congressional ban funding a nuclear bunker buster.
I have a better idea. We trap the little bastards in their holes and send over some of our own lil’ bastards to entertain […]
Greg and I were on KRCL’s Radio Active today talking about blogging and the thank you sites.
During the show, Greg mentioned yesterday’s www.Truthout.org story about Karl Rove being indicted as an example of how the Internet has become an important medium for independent news. One anonymous caller claimed the story was not true.
Turns out […]

The letter below is the first in a series somehow to express, however […]
A $2.7 trillion budget plan pending before the House would raise the federal debt ceiling to nearly $10 trillion, less than two months after Congress last raised the federal government’s borrowing limit.
The provision — buried on page 121 of the 151-page budget blueprint — serves as a backdrop to congressional action this week. House leaders […]
Update July 29, 2006: I am pleased to report that we reached our $10,000 goal this morning when a hat was passed around a Democratic State Party campaign training. We should be proud to hold the distinction of being the first and only state in the Union to have raised acheived our target through grassroots […]
Funds will pay for ActBlue to build out their system to allow anyone anywhere on any website to ask for donations with a contribute button for any Utah state level candidate.
We need to raise another $9,000 this week so that this system can be up and running by July. We’ve raised almost $1000 since […]
We need to begin demand answers from Gary Herbert. A simple and sober observation of this picture screams of denial and coverup. I don’t believe there is neccessarily any corruption here (Utah’s case), but I do believe Lt. Governor Herbert “went along with the boys” and the unholy alliance betweeen the Bush cabal […]
Act Blue has agreed to expedite an infrastructure expansion to support fundraising efforts for our state-level democratic legislative races. The $10,000 we need to cover that cost will allow us to raise hundreds of thousands for ’06, 08 races and beyond. We CAN turn Utah blue.
Believe it or not, Utah has seen a strong revitalization […]
