Utah Senator Steve Urquhart’s (last) News Flash

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Hold me back. Steve “Attack Dog” Urquart (Sen UT-R St. George) has decided he is an expert in climate change science.
I’m giving him 24 hours to retract his arrogant, regurgitation of one of the most tired, global warming denier canards before I unleash the truth on OneUtah. And it won’t be pretty.
I am OVER [...]

On Becoming Your Own Parody: How the LDS Church is Making Itself Irrelevant and a Laughingstock

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Queers behind bushes, queers in dark alleys, queers in positions of power. Queers free on the streets, queers in pulpits, queers bearing arms. And worst of all, queers at the altar! Is no place free of this menace, no institution sacred? Our world teeters on the brink. Can no one save us?
Cue background music, William [...]

Al Gore; New Slideshow, Smacks Down Deniers

For Ken and all the other non-scientists afraid to face the challenge of reality.

Commonality of methods between creationists and global warming deniers?

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I thought it was odd that Ken B posted a comment about global warming in response to my post about the systemic dishonesty of creationists. I wonder if maybe there are connections between the dishonest means and methods of creationists and those who deny global warming. I haven’t really looked much at the methods used [...]

How Exxon Pays Scientists to Trick You - A Primer for Global Warming Deniers

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

There seem to be a few folks left on the planet who cannot accept the science of climate change. None of them are scientists except for the ones being paid by Exxon.
I’m thinking OneUtah should build a record of this debate for the benefit of Anthropologists, Sociologists and writers who, fifty years from now, [...]

Poke Out Their Eyes With Your Fingertips

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I am the first to admit, I have finally lost my marbles over the idiocy of the male gender of (my gender) our species. To wit, Bush and the few millions of U.S educated - supposedly - Americans.
Sign the damn petition if only to show these criminally stupid people that WE are many more [...]

Bush’s Synfuel Assault on Utah

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

They can’t be serious. That’s always my first thought. In 2003 I figured President Bush couldn’t be serious about invading Iraq– after all, that would be illegal, morally wrong, and bound to have disastrous consequences. Now it may be our turn to suffer the consequences. The federal government has come back [...]

Oil’s Well That Ends Well
by DarkSyde
Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 05:30:46 AM PST
Exxon-Mobil (XOM - CNBC) closed out the last quarter of 2007 with record earnings, handily beating consensus estimates. The Irving, Texas, based integrated oil giant benefited from the rising price of crude: each one dollar increase in the price of a barrel is [...]

Thankful There’s Still Something Left to Burn

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

If you watch enough TV, ingest too many newspapers, and read a lot of blogs, my own and this one included, you get the impression the world is driving a flaming red Hummer in the fast lane to Hell. That may be true- but it depends on what Hell you’re talking about: the actual ones [...]

Choking the Canaries “in the coal mine.”

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

This moved me. Call me a liberal sissy. Call me a bleeding heart. Thank God, I am not a Republican. The hypocrisy would kill me.


Yesterday, Cheryl Lockwood of Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, an 18-year-old Inuit from Alaska sobbed through her opening testimony before the Select Committee on Energy [...]

UEA Convention a Polluters PR Fest

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

The Utah Education Association conference started Monday at the Salt Palace. From an environmental perspective, it’s a clean sweep for the polluters. I volunteered to staff The Nature Conservancy’s information table at the conference. We’re encouraging teachers to sign their classes up for tours of our Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve where I volunteer as [...]
