Part I - Part II - Part II
This is the one where Cannon says no one in Utah is on minimum wage and if they are they need to go back to school and get a better job. You can watch just that [...]

Crooks and Liars has last nights David Letterman Show with Bill O’Reilly
David Letterman didn’t try to hide the fact last night that he just plain doesn’t like Bill O’Reilly. He wasted no time bashing FOX News and doing what few people can do — ridiculing O’Reillys ratings

Does anyone know if anyone or any Utah-based organization is endorsing Cannon? I checked his website and its just Bush, Sensenbrenner and the NRA.

Mitt Romney’s relations with the Mormon Church come at a bad time for Mr. Romney. Just after a respected poll indicated that 38% of American voters would not vote for a Mormon for President, Mitt’s people crossed the church/state wall in an embarrassing incursion. Mitt is an able man [...]

Sergeant Marshall Thompson is walking the length of Utah, one day for every 100 American soldiers who have died in Iraq. Marshall’s itinerary has been changed due to the unavoidable fact that the number of U.S. deaths in Iraq has risen to 2,800. Two walking days have been added, in St. George on November [...]

I’m testing my technical skills today - can I successfully upload and post a file online then refer to it in a post. BTW, Hi! Jenni! Yeah that was me at the panel discussion and the radio interview on sexuality education.

The New York Times has a sobering article about the last-ditch efforts by the 4th Infantry Division to secure Baghdad. Things are not going well, and there is no Plan B. Here are some bullet points taken from the article:

Baghdad is the center of gravity for the larger American mission in Iraq. [...]

Whew! Everything was going smoothly during a telephone debate last Friday hosted by the Provo-based Daily Herald until congressional candidate Christian Burridge mentioned Jack Abramoff and Cannon’s ethics problems.
