"Not all opinions are created equal. Some are a great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." Douglas Adams
Frankly, if you’re out in Magna, it’d be a waste to skip a stop by The Pizza Stop.
I’ll make this simple: order the combo pizza. Heaped with mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, and olives, I looked hesitently on my first bite. I mean–who puts vegetables and fungi on a good pizza?
It took all of one bit to convince myself that the choice was a good one. [cont…]
Best Burger is a little joint in North Salt Lake that’s pinned between a Taco Time and a Wendy’s. On my way to a meeting, I was short on time and short on fuel, and fast food was all I could see…until I rounded the building and saw Best Burger. And who wouldn’t want to eat the “best” burger?
Two observations, then:
1. I’m on diet, and that means no more fries, less bacon and onion rings (among other things), and fewer burgers. In general, fewer things that are naturally delicious. So this meal was “just” a burger. [cont…]
We have to offer an alternative vision,” says Romney upon winning New Hampshire and that alternative is a path to a place “where we are lifted up by our desire to succeed, not dragged down by a resentment of success.” In case anyone is forgetting, this election is about the economy, and Mitt’s proving that people want someone who they trust on the economy.

Objectivism: an extreme philosophy that is to the free market what communism is to liberalism, just in the opposite direction.

And political scientist Adam Brown is here to help. He’s started to compile a database of legislator profiles, as well flashcards.
That’s right. Flashcards. {cont…]
What will you never see if you’re a voter in Utah? You’ll never meet the candidates for President, unless you count emails asking for money or phone calls. If you live in New Hampshire, though, or Iowa, or maybe even South Carolina, you might learn something like this: You learn that Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) is awful […]
If these days and years will be seen as great, it will be because we will decide in coming months and years what course we will take, pass policies that reverse the trends and return America to its competitive edge and full solvency as the best investment in the world, or whether we will lapse into decline. Will we figure out a way to care for the poor and disadvantaged, to keep our promises to older generations, but refrain from pouring an unbearable burden on our children and grandchildren?
Or, perhaps better said: will we return America to a beacon on a hill, the leader of the free world? [cont…]
