The Absolute Worst that Utah Has to Offer
George Burnett, local town douche from Vernal, has struck upon a great new business gimmick: charging those who self-identify as ‘liberals’ an extra dollar surcharge at his I Love Drilling* smoothie shop. We have a fiscal problem in this country. We’ve got to deal with it or we don’t have a country, so to kind [...]
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 [...]
Jon McNaughton is still trying to save the world. One shitty painting at a time. Last April we wrote about McNaughton, a Mormon tea bagging ‘artist’ who became popular on the Internet when one of his Jesus paintings, “One Nation Under God,” went viral.* At the time, abortion-loving gay-promoting alcohol-imbibing BYU had decided not to [...]
Taking a play from nomination challenger Dan Liljenquist’s book, Orrin Hatch has upped his attacks against public employee pensions. “The public pension crisis plaguing our nation demands a real solution. Over the coming weeks, I will be putting forward ideas to reform public pension programs in a meaningful way that doesn’t leave taxpayers on the [...]
There has been a significant movement over the past few years—fueled mostly by the Tea Party—for a smaller federal government. Politicians in D.C. have been overreaching their bounds for decades, and it’s time that changed. In fact, it was on this platform that Senator Mike Lee was elected to the Senate, and the other Utahn members [...]
Allegedly Utah is rather Tea Party friendly. The main reason is – despite all the media coverage you see about the group being full of crazy right-wing, racist, ignorant geriatrics – at the core of the Tea Party sits a desire for government to mind its own damn business. For some Tea Partiers the reason [...]
You know how the Tea Party is trying to get rid of government? We’re not saying this is a clever ploy to kill off all homeless people, but we’re not saying this isn’t a clever ploy to kill off all homeless people either. That being said, the Utah Food Bank is a great institution whose mission [...]
I really thought I was done writing about Orrin Hatch for a while – especially after this post, where his level of idiocy seemed so unbridled. I don’t want to keep writing about him; I really don’t. I even passed over this story about how Hatch will be receiving a $125,000 annual pension after he leaves Congress. (In [...]
There’s this organization called FreedomWorks, whose Chairman is trying-to-stay-relevant Dick Armey. They’re part of the Tea Party movement, which means they hate black people and aren’t smart enough to work a copy machine. Well, they dealt what they’ve considered a damning blow to named-after-the-family-cat Mittens Romney by saying it was their goal to stop him [...]
C’mon, America. CUH-MON. Obama was totally probably lying when he announced that Bin Laden was killed!! Osama Bin Laden is not dead, and the Moon landing, and Jimmy Hoffa, and Roswell, and Where’s My Inhaler!!! Faster than it takes to roll a dead old Muslim with kidney failure into a lake, the so-called “Deather” Movement* [...]
