"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
Last night I found myself at the Utah Senate District 2 debate watching a bunch of bleeding heart Democrats try their best to convince the 160 Democratic delegates who will vote in the special election that each is the most liberal candidate.
It was like watching the Republican primary debates in reverse. Instead of trying to be the most conservative, they were trying to be the most liberal. I had to pinch myself to see if I was still awake. This is Utah, right?
It’s a contrast that is impossible to miss: one government faces growth and another is struggling to compensate for spending beyond its ability to afford.
Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul and Senator from Kentucky, is considering a run for President in 2016.
I know:–Mitt Romney’s campaign is barely dead and in the ground and already we’re hearing the rumblings of 2016’s challengers. Marco Rubio made headlines at a fundraiser in Iowa by commenting on the age of the Earth (HUH?) and now we hear that Ron Paul’s scion is openly interested in running, too.
For the kind of change needed in the Republican Party, it may not be too soon to start thinking about it.
With Peter Jackson releasing the first of three movies covering J.R.R.Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” this coming December 15, I thought it was time to reread the book.
It’s hard to explain adequately how I feel about “The Hobbit.” Simply put, it’s one of my favorite books, I’ve read it more times than any other novel (though I’m not sure what that tells you about me).
In an act bereft of leadership, Peter Corroon’s goodbye gift to Salt Lake County is a proposed 17.5% property tax increase. The proposal comes just days after voters in Salt Lake County approved a $47 million bond (Proposition 1) for parks and trails and chose Democrat Ben McAdams–who promised to “will hold the line on taxes”–to replace Corroon. Both would take effect in 2013.
