One Utah

I’m reposting this from here because it huge, and it received no media here in Utah and no comments even on this blog. Did anyone listen?
Mary Brown Firmage is a direct descendant of a wife of the Prophet Joseph Smith & Brigham Young, and Daughter of Hugh B. Brown (who called for Blacks to hold [...]

Rocky laid out a bullet-proof prima-facie case for the impeachment of George W. Bush.
Hannity retreated into his hallmark pandering strategy refusing to address the facts in the case for impeachment of Bush. Not one word about Bush, the Constitution, illegal rendition, torture, wiretapping US citizens illegally, or the suspension of Habeas Corpus. Just personal attacks [...]

I posted about this earlier. But last night discovered that after the interview in which Rocky Anderson thoroughly spanked O’Rielly for his ignorance of the Constitution, O’Reilly engaged Andrew Napolitano, a thoroughly discredited (by the National Review nonetheless) former TV Judge, to further misinform the American people while providing O’Reilly some much needed moral [...]

Real Courage - Straight Talk
“Mr. President, you have not only put us in harms way, you have harmed us.”
The president is leading us off a cliff. Everyone knows it.
Republicans, but for a few “real men”, are running for cover.
Biden demonstrates why Democrats should be in power and will remain in [...]

Yes, if this documentary reveals anything, it is that the conservative community, at this point, is characterized by angry, mean, paranoid people.

Check out Jill’s post at feministe: File Under: Get pregnant, lose your civil liberties:

This is a re-post from last year in honor of the repeat of last year.
Utah got her first openly gay State Senator several years ago in a mid-term procedure in which delegates-only voted for a young lawyer named Scott McCoy. On that day, something changed in Utah.
But it has not unfortunately dissuaded our state legislature [...]

Martin Luther King, Jr.: “I Have a Dream”
delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C

As a last-ditch desperate attempt to save their own hides, the founding fathers of the neocon ideology are blaming Bush for screwing up. For those unfamiliar with the chicken hawks behind this illegal fiasco. They are Perle, Feith, Adleman, Frum, Woolsey, Cohen, Gaffney, Rubin, and Pletka
Strikingly absent from this Bush-bashing orgy is a mea culpa.

Thanks Norm

Let’s be honest. No one expected Democrats would take the Senate too. It seemed an impossible dream. Not statistically impossible, but “too good to be true” - impossible.
At least for me, it hasn’t quite sunk in yet. The past six years have been like a bad dream. I like most, [...]
