Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is the nation’s most prominent global warming denier. He famously declared that global warming is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Now, he’s taken the argument a step further. In an interview with Tulsa World, Inhofe compared people who believed global warming was a problem [...]

I caught a disturbing article in the SLTrib and on KSL yesterday. The gist of it goes like this. Autistic boy lives in neighborhood. Same autistic boy is 13 years old but has the mental capacity of a 4 year old. Very same autistic boy tends to wander around [...]

For the past 3 days I have been pondering a thoughtful post Called “Sacrament Meeting” by Rob Miller of the Utah Amicus, which can be read in entirety, here.
And I quote:
For far too long the LDS pulpit has been used by members of the Republican Party to marginalize members of the Utah Democratic Party. In [...]

Dear World, I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?)
Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the “brutal repression of the Palestinians”; yesterday it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the [...]

But mostly for Mark to spoke to us here.
Mark,
I appreciate and value your thoughtfulness and honesty.

Our experience in Salt Lake City shows that [...]

Krugman: (reg req) partial transcript

Since those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it — and since the cast of characters making pronouncements on the crisis in the Middle East is very much the same [...]

It’s sad but true. Polls, surveys, and studies have long revealed that the majority of Americans are wrong, and frequently, on major issues.
That everyone thought the world was flat in Galileo’s day is not a good example. There was little available evidence to the contrary. But that is hardly the case on almost any issue [...]

I am honored to discover that Utah House Majority Whip Steve Urquardt reads OneUtah. I have been ruminating all day about his response to my post “World Gone Crazy.”
First, let me thank Steve for his public service. I also admire his willingness to take a stand in areas where others refuse, and most importantly, his [...]

Bishop Olsen never meant to run for congress. I’m glad he is.
From his thoughtful post:
It’s time for Utah’s Republican leaders in Washington to start speaking out against the excessive influence of factions in their party that hold such hateful views against their fellow Latter-day Saints - who constitute a majority of their constituents. The time [...]
