Well, I’m finally getting around to writing a post on my favorite topic here in the Utah Valley: my growing and ever present distaste for the way my religion is marketed around here. Yeah. I know. Its stupid and has been hashed around a ton all over the blog world. But I’m just a little [...]

Oh man. I love comment boards. Or rather, I hate them. But sometimes the things people post are just too stupid not to share. So KSL-Utah’s conglomerate news monopoly, ran an article on its website a minute ago about the swine flu out-break. The article talked about how WHO is raising the epidemic to a [...]

Its a rather interesting thing, all this “coolness” running around. Have you ever stopped to think about “cool”? Its a pretty silly concept, it you ask me. I’ll tell you what I’m driving at.
I’m not a really “cool” person. I didn’t listen to my first real “with it” band until I was in the 8th [...]

I’ve lived a rather quiet life. I’ve had people yell at me and I’ve yelled back, but for the most part, I feel I’ve been pretty non-confrontational. Until tonight.
We’re still fighting that ridiculous Provo City rezoning issue. They want to make it illegal for us to rent out our basement. So Dan and I gathered [...]

I had an odd thought…about once a minute to be excact. But this particular one has gestated just enough in my brain to become a blog post. Work with me here for just a sec:
Many people are comparing the current campaign for homosexual marriage to the Civil Rights Movement of the sixties. Ok. Fine. But [...]

I enjoy politics. I like talking about them, reading about them, and when it applies, mocking those directly involved in them. But I’ve never been particularly active in the political process. Sure I vote but I don’t really give much of a hoot for local policy making and watching C-Span. Although I used to watch [...]

While perusing the local news yesterday I found an article that truly boggled my mind. Living in Provo, I’m constantly amused (or driven mad) by the quirky antics of a homogenized society. But this story takes the cake for all time stupidity. Are you ready? Here goes:
A woman in Provo staged a protest last week [...]

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening was once asked if he targeted the lefties or the rights in his satire. He said something to the effect that he doesn’t single out any side in particular, that his goal is just to point out hypocrisy wherever he sees it. That, my friends, is the most genius approach [...]

Well, in this crazy world of ours I thought I’d heard it all. But then I found an article in the news today that stopped me in my tracks. It seems PETA (you know those guys) recently sent Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream corp. a letter. In this letter the good folks at PETA suggested [...]

Wow. Its amazing what a movie can do. Last night I watched “Office Space” for the first time. It was like a beautiful drug that settled into my psychosis and made me feel like I had an ally in the corporate world. This movie is pure genius. Not just for its comic value but for [...]
