Sorry, Mr. President, But Your Legacy Is More Awful Than You Think

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Sometimes others say it better than I. I’d like to add one more culprit…OK, about fifty million culprits; every uninformed idiot that voted for him the second time too.

All My Babies Are Gone Now
By Anna Quindlen, Newsweek Columnist and Author
All my babies are gone now. I say this not in sorrow, but in disbelief.
I take great satisfaction in what I have today: three almost-adults, two taller than I am, one closing in fast. Three people who read the same books I do and [...]

Grandma Bea Gets Everything Right

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

by Katie Halper
The following is a true story, which happened last year.
When my grandma called my mom to tell her she was feeling dizzy and faint, we rushed out the door and hailed a cab to pick up Grandma Bea and take her to the hospital. The second she entered the cab, my mom struck [...]

Utah Safe Haven for Bush Flunkees; Are the Doormats Wearing Thin?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Alberto Gonzales might not make it to Utah- or out of Washington alive. But the list of Bush administration flunkees running to Utah to look busy is obvious and somewhat frightening. The Bush “Mod Squad” of Gonzales, Education Secretary Spellings and HHS head and former Utah governor Mike Leavitt, is due to come here Friday [...]

Looking Forward

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

When I looked at this article in the Deseret news today and saw that although Rocky’s overall approval rating is pretty darned good, his attempt to convince anybody who would listen to the idea that Bush should be impeached, was being rejected by a majority of people, even in Salt Lake City. My optimism to [...]

Has the Far Right Overstayed it’s Welcome in Utah?

Friday, March 30th, 2007

I can’t help but feel optimistic about all this commotion over Cheney’s impending visit to Provo. There hasn’t been this much turmoil since Sean Hannity was flown in to impose himself on Michael Moore’s “slacker” tour before the 2004 election of John Kerry. It’s hard to find any information on why Hannity was never invited [...]

In Your Face Rocky Bashers

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

Our Rocky made the cover of Nation magazine.
Having spent several months as Rocky’s interim communications guy, I witnessed up close and personal the viceral, organized and popular sport of Rocky bashing. I can tell you it looks no different from the inside than the outside for the simple reason that both of our major [...]

Another Cabbie. Another Incredible Story

Friday, September 29th, 2006

by Maccabee Fri Sep 29, 2006
A Yellow Cab driven by a tiny African man named Bale pulled up to the curb and the Air Port Taxi authorities pointed me to his taxi. I threw my stuff in the back seat and we headed out to the hotel. I was in Canada this week. It’s a [...]

Sour Grapes

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Pignanelli & Webb’s article last Sunday was a classic exercise in pernicious, pattycake, pomposity.
The article entitled Who is the real Democrat, Matheson or Rocky? Was in traditional P&W fashion, a series of rhetorical questions.
They and the essence of the answers follow adorned with my glib comments in italics.
1. Is Jim Matheson a real Democrat?

Open Letter to Rocky

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Reprinted with permission
Dear Rocky,
Before the dust settles completely on the anti-bush rally, I want to make you aware of some problems -technical and philosophical - that Wednesday’s rally presented. I am writing while they are still fresh in my mind.
As you know, I was on the organizing committee for the “rally” last spring. In [...]
