The Absolute Worst that Utah Has to Offer
Way back in June of 2011, we wrote about how Mike Lee was a different kind of political douchebag; we’d like to publicly apologize for that article and run the following correction: Mike Lee is just like every other political douchebag. The Tea-Party-darling Senator recently endorsed Mitt Romney for president—showing that blood atonement is apparently thicker than water. [...]
On Monday the nation was presented with Obama’s “populist vision” for how federal spending should shape up for the 2013 fiscal year. Residing on the one end of the spectrum (the region that I like to call ‘reality’), the 2013 budget included $850B for job creation in the form of job programs and infrastructure spending, [...]
At this year’s CPAC, Utah Senator Mike Lee took the opportunity to further remind the nation that he’s a bigoted dimwit. When asked if he supported the proposed ENDA (the Employment Non-Discrimination Act), Lee said he didn’t and argued that it, along with child labor laws, FEMA, the FDA, and poverty programs, would be unconstitutional [...]
In his weekly address to the nation, President Obama singled out Utah Senator Mike Lee as an example of obstructionism and pig-headedness when discussing congressional gridlock. “One senator gumming up the whole works for the entire country is certainly not what our founding fathers envisioned,” he said, leaving no questions about whom he was talking [...]
Yesterday, hundreds of websites followed our lead and went black* to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act. There were obvious problems with what the U.S. Congress was trying to do with these bills, but that apparently didn’t matter to them. Unlike the debt ceiling debates where no one could agree [...]
The Obama administration yesterday extended the ban on mining for Uranium in the Grand Canyon area. Leaving the physical, as well as the institutional and financial destruction of America to the GOP, Ken Salazar of the Interior Department said: “A withdrawal is the right approach for this priceless American landscape,” Salazar said in a speech at [...]
As we’ve said before, Mike Lee is a different kind of political douchebag. Instead of ignoring the Constitution like most members of Congress, he uses it to suggest ridiculous things—like how stupid child labor laws are or that his PAC should be able to receive unlimited money. But while the FEC recently turned down Lee’s [...]
Happy Halloween, sinners! So you’ve waited until the last minute to find a Halloween costume for your ward’s trunk-or-treat activity tonight – and you can’t wear your mom’s clothes like you did last year, because of the pesky new “no cross-dressing” commandment. Don’t worry – your least favorite Utah blog, Telestial State, is here to [...]
Utah’s own Tea Party Senator Michael Shumway Lee, an alleged fiscal conservative, wants his Political Action Committee (PAC) to be able to receive unlimited contributions. He currently has what’s called a Leadership PAC, which is a distinction given to those PACs led by members of Congress, named the Constitutional Conservatives Fund. Money from that PAC [...]
Last week, Executive Chairman of Google Eric Schmidt appeared before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee to answer some questions about Google’s search results. Allegedly, Google has been giving their own websites an extra boost in certain SERPs. For instance, if I search for “restaurant reviews”, Zagat.com is the first result; it just so happens that Google owns [...]
