From the Salt Lake Tribune headlines: Leaders say Mormons cannot condone same-sex marriage. While I realize that Elder Dallin H. Oaks was speaking to the ‘faithful,’ while issuing the official talking points, and marching orders, the tone – especially as heard by those outside ‘the faith’ – was truly dreadful. Can’t condone? What kind…
Ladies and Gentlemen of the United States Congress – and I am speaking to both the House and the Senate, Republicans and Democrats. How long can you expect to keep the real power behind this whole ruse, a secret from the American People. And what does any of you think is going to happen,…
Anyone looking in on the Ted Cruz 21 hour nonsensical diatribe, on Obama and the Affordable Care Act, would have to wonder at the audacity of this all-but-the-kitchen-sink attack of lies, misinformation, unsupported innuendo, and more damn lies – going on ad-nauseam – like stink on a bug.

Jack W. Germond, syndicated columnist and political pundit – best remembered, by me, as the acerbic liberal voice on the conservative TV show, The McLaughlin Group – has died. He was 85. I still smile when I remember the particular rejoinder Jack deigned to offer one of the other panelists, on one particular show, when…
Maybe it’s due the ability that most of us have – to hold our breath for extended periods of time – that also causes most of us to imagine death by drowning to be less than sudden. Providing a much larger, imaginary grace period, for saving a drowning victim’s life. Kind of like feeling…
I was hoping to make it out to the Gay Pride Parade this year. Which – as it turns out – has apparently been shortened to the more politically correct Pride Parade, in recognizing the entire GBLT community out there, along with a number of others. Though not a member of any one of…
We previously posted a link to this video, on our facebook page. But in an effort to support Lisa Angelos in her quest to see this video go viral, we’ve decided to feature this remarkable documentary as well. Remarkable not only for the host of notables willing to take part in this effort to free…
