The Absolute Worst that Utah Has to Offer
One thing you can always trust Republicans to do is stick to their principles—regardless of how asinine those principles happen to be. And that’s admirable, in a way. It’s good to know where our geriatric senior Senator from Utah stands on the issues instead of having to worry what he’ll do each time a topic comes up. [...]
Remember how we were supposed to vote for Orrin Hatch so he could be Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee? Well, the caveat he continually forgot to mention was that would only be possible if Republicans gained control of the Senate. Turns out, the GOP actually lost two Senate seats. Come 2013, in the Senate there will [...]
In preparation for the Presidential debates on October 3rd, many faithful LDS members have decided to fast for Mitt Romney—and encouraged others to do the same—believing only divine intervention can keep the GOP nominee from making a more complete fool of himself. Some have also encouraged even stronger efforts: Others in the email chain have [...]
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Did you guys laugh your asses off as much as we did last night? Clint Fucking Eastwood got on stage and scolded an empty chair for it’s lack of job creating ability for 10 minutes. Do you just – you know – I know – people were wondering – you don’t – [...]

I bet you are all surprised to see that we haven’t been assassinated or reassigned to Gayle Ruzicka’s ‘reeducation camp’ in the basement of the Church Office Building.* Yes, unfortunately for us and you, we’re still here and kicking. Apparently we decided to take a modest summer break. What can we say? We were emulating [...]
As the dust settles on Romney’s Vice Presidential pick of Paul “Dreamboat” Ryan, it’s time for some analysis. The only difference between Romney’s VP pick this past weekend and McCain’s VP pick four years ago is, instead of people saying, “Who?” they’re now saying, “Him?” When it comes to policy, there’s not really much difference [...]

The Obama administration has allowed individual states “to test alternative and innovative strategies, policies, and procedures that are designed to improve employment outcomes for [...]
The most flaccidly anticipated event of the Utah Senatorial election happened last Friday, with the one and only debate between incumbent Orrin Hatch and GOP challenger Dan Liljenquist happening on the radio, in the middle of the day, moderated by a guy who still owes us two plane tickets to Denver.
