One Utah

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 [...]

Early this year, the Democracy For America organization held showings of an important new movie: “Uncounted.” This well researched documentary by Emmy award-winning director, David Earnhardt, is an examination of election fraud, focusing on the electronic voting machines deployed nationwide after congress passed the HAVA act; a terribly failed attempt to correct the chance of [...]

For the record:
Richard Okleberry continues to insist that his religious conviction has nothing to do with his politics. Here’s one of many attempts to state that case.
While I had not once in my original post mentioned my religious beliefs Mr. Lyons somehow gleamed that my underlying purpose was to force a religious doctrine on [...]

For those of you who have suffered through what I shall refer to as “Schooling Church Boy”, you know that I called out Richard Okelberry for his dangerous and ignorant, but earnest and well-written, editorial on Obama’s response to the question the Saddleback Church about when a fetus should have human rights.
Obama’s answer was perfect; [...]

They also knew well, how religion can make some people stupid.  Thats why the first ten words of the first amendment are, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
Of late, some of our less learned brethren have decided the establishment clause somehow means the opposite.  Such sheeple are of course, a grave [...]

This one really peeves me. The surge did not work, and there are no credible, a-political, experts who believe it did. Not in terms of the originally stated-goals, nor in any other quantifiable terms.
The only surge that worked was a corporate-media conspiracy to smear that canard like seagull shit and leave it to [...]

I’ve been following and sometimes writing about issues of war and peace, human rights, our economy, the environment, and nuclear weapons and our inability to deal safely with nuclear material for about half a century. Never have I seen the interconnection of these issues reach the danger point that we now face. We are in [...]

The case against Chris Buttars begins and ends with the idea that holding public office is a position of trust and it is a trust he has broken repeatedly.

A new site has popped up in the Blogosphere:
Save Me From My Senator - Chris Buttars Scares Me.
It was started as a result of dire frustration by a constituent of his. It’s chock full of really useful information, including
101 Reasons to Get Rid of Chris Buttars, Tools for Citizens to use in the Fight, [...]

Huh?
Rocky and pals are wrong
I have a message for Rocky Anderson and his loony leftist buddies: If President Bush were the dictator you think he is, you would be dead or worse. You still have the right to spout your liberal Bush-hating drivel. Other than airline passengers, no one has lost any rights in [...]

To punish a fellow Republican lawmaker, Utah Republican legislative leaders alleged that Rep. Steve Mascaro, R-West Jordan, had been hitting on an intern in a most inappropriate manner.
This was punishment for requesting an investigation of Walker, the guy that tried to bribe his opponent in the contest for Utah State Treasurer.

And this ain’t no HBO [...]

The parade of phony Iraq experts appearing on TV lately has treated us to nonstop blather about “conditions on the ground” and “facts on the ground.” Usually the magic words are said with a satisfied smirk, implying that the Average Americans wouldn’t be so keen on getting our troops back home if only they [...]
