One Utah

Ed Brayton has a great post The Athiests are Coming, the Atheists are Coming! up at his place. In it, he points out a tendency among at least some conservative Christian writes for:
vaguely hysterical writings that get his credulous followers without ever actually identifying what they should feel threatened by, as brilliantly displayed in […]

The corporate media circus exposed via BradBlog in all it’s commercialized glory. Don’t miss “Lapdogs Of The Corporate Press!“

This video from The Onion proves it. You’ll notice the voting machine in the piece is the very one most Utahns will be using until we get informed enough to toss them in the Great Salt Lake and save millions of dollars in the process.
I can dream.
This is not the first time Diebold machines have […]

I wonder how a Bush Lover would hear this? Do they still think the heavy-handed unilateral approach to terrorism is the proper course? Are they really still so afraid they are willing to subvert the constitution and the rule of law?
It must feel like being betrayed by a lover who used and abused […]

I think we are reaching a nadir in the American consciousness. There are so many indicators both large and small. The surprising populist movement lead by Barack Obama is an obvious one. The changing language and focal points of the Right-Wing are another. Almost no one is left in the media nor in politics […]

I’m sorry I don’t have more time these days to pen my own screeds on the demise of America. Gibbons 2.0 will be a volume shorter.
This says it better antway.

h/t Crooks and Liars  A Crippling Legacy
By: Nicole Belle
Vanity Fair offers a sobering look at the costs that we — and our children and their children — will pay for the last eight years of Bush/Cheney economics.
The damage done to the American economy does not make front-page headlines every day, but the repercussions will be […]

Randi Rhodes of Air America, speech to the 50th Anniversary party of “PEACE ACTION of Michigan” on November 11, 2007.
DO not miss this. It is the most honest REAL discussion of what is really happened over the past seven long years.

The people of Utah also picked this presentation as the the program they would most like to be rebroadcast last Friday night on PBS. No, it has absolutely nothing to do with O. J. or “The Simpsons”. It has more to do with who we are and what we believe.
This time it wasn’t a teacher […]

This is a must listen.
In December 2004, Norman Mailer addressed the Nieman conference on Narrative Journalism at Harvard University.
This is the most lucid, gut-level, expression of how we feel, we who wake up and face each day under the darkness of the Bush Cheney administration. Mailer describes both men perfectly, and explores the myths […]

New old news I didn’t know. Mitt Romney raises taxes big time while Governor of Massachusetts.
Listen to this insider’s take on Tucker Carlson.

This “blast from the past” stands as a stark reminder of the chorus corporate controlled media, coordinated talking points and hyperbolic name-calling that manged to shout down anyone who presented reason and fact in the face of the drumbeat to attack Iraq.
This little piece contains all the now classic tactics so shamefully employed against the […]

I’ve got a great idea. When I see a great story/post, I’m going to call it Cliff’s Pick and just post the link.
I encourage all OneUtah authors to do the same (using your own name of course).
As every one is busy and we often don’t have the time to vet all the stuff everyday…
So […]
