We’ll make this simple. We’re bribing our readers. We really want to win the City Weekly’s “Best of Utah” contest in any of the following categories: Best Local Blog/Site Best Local on Twitter Worst Utahn Do we deserve it? Probably not. But we really want it.* So, we’re now resorting to bribery. Here’s how this [...]
We tweeted about this the other day; but you guys knew we couldn’t just leave it at that, right? Orrin Hatch recently said in an interview—which was apparently held in some guy’s basement—of Planned Parenthood: About 95% of what they do, from what I understand, is abortion. This is an asinine statement in and of itself; [...]
Let’s say you’re the head of a huge, international religion with membership in the millions. But not only are members of your church “leaving in droves”—a fact which a prominent member of your church acknowledges—but a few years ago, you invested* significant time and money to impose your religious beliefs on others, only to have Proposition 8 ultimately [...]
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, [...]
There was a bit of hubbub recently when the American Research Group released a poll saying more Michiganites would vote for Rick Santorum than for Mitt Romney. The problem is, CBS News (among others, likely) don’t really know how polls work or what “margin of error” means. The survey had a 4-point margin of error, meaning that [...]
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 [...]
It’s been a few days of hot legislator on legislator action up at the capitol. Since that phrase makes us want to burn out our retinas, we thought we’d recap the action as it stands so you don’t have to get your hands (or anything else) dirty. What’s been killed? HB322, a bill that would’ve [...]
House Lawmakers narrowly defeated HB 210 on Monday after spending most of the day talking about it, with the final tally of 39-36 defeating the legislation. The contested legislation would have created a permanent trust fund for the state, where annual severance revenues from the sale of non-renewable resources would be deposited. Severance revenues are [...]
Because I hate myself, I recently read this article titled: Why Mitt Romney Needs To Talk Openly About His Mormon Faith. To summarize the author’s point, Romney needs to realize religion is going to be part of this election and pussy responses like “I’m not a theologian” and “I don’t speak for my church” simply aren’t good [...]
So ask anyone frothing at the mouth about Comrade Obama (including Newt Gingrich, who missed his last round of rabies shots) “what person has run up the deficit the most,” and you’ll probably hear the answer “Obama!” Math simple even enough for Glenn Beck to draw up on his chalkboard, would show that the deficit [...]
