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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pignanelli & Webb’s article last Sunday was a classic exercise in pernicious, pattycake, pomposity.

If you weren’t there, you MUST listen to the speech. It was his best! And the crowd cheering was heard far beyond Utah.

Full text of speech

I have always had an in ordinate amount of respect for Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. Despite being a Republican, Mark has shown tremendous backbone in supporting progressive causes including equality for the GLTB community, youth programs, education, and a “normal” interpretation of law. Mark is the only Republican I have ever voted for, [...]

Dear Salt Lake City residents:
Below is the speech I gave last Friday announcing I would not seek reelection as your mayor. After I complete my second term as Mayor, I plan to pursue grassroots advocacy work on climate change and human rights. It has been my deepest privilege to serve the citizens of this great [...]

Paul Rolly’s column in today’s Tribune reports that American Legion officials are blaming a lower than expected turnout for the Legion’s meeting in Salt Lake City upon Mayor Rocky Anderson’s opposition to the war in Iraq. Might it just be that even members of the American Legion are beginning to be disheartened by the President’s [...]

Several commentators have recently expressed profound pessimism about the possibility of addressing the challenges posed by catastrophic climate change. Some have argued that current technology is insufficient to address the problem, and that we can only hope for an as-yet unknown technological panacea to effectively combat global warming.
Our experience in Salt Lake City shows that [...]

Dear OneUtah Readers:
The following is a speech I gave upon being recognized as a distinguished alumnus of the College of Humanities at the University of Utah. In the speech, I stress the importance of understanding and effectively addressing instances of injustice and genocide in today’s world. With a federal administration that has pursued unjust policies [...]
