Tuesday, December 11, 2007. Let the Mud Slinging Begin. I figured the presidential candidates would wait until after Christmas to start flinging the poo. Huckabee asks if Mormons believe Jesus and the devil are brothers. Romney campaign releases a negative ad against Huckabee. Posted by John Newman. Links to this post. Thursday, December 06, 2007. Mitt Romney on Faith in America - Commentary. This morning, Mitt Romney delivered his "Faith in America" speech. But most of you knew that, already. If there w...

From the Basement: Utah Gun Laws and the Blame Game.

Monday, October 20, 2014. Utah Gun Laws and the Blame Game. Second, most of the student population here doesn't carry a weapon. As I said, open carry isn't allowed on campus, and those living on campus are forbidden from having weapons in their apartments. What a lousy game. Posted by John Newman.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Obama Abandons the Defense of Marriage Act. President Barack Obama has decided that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and has directed the Department of Justice to quit defending it. Supporters of gay marriage are declaring a victory. Detractors are up in arms. There's one problem that only a few people seem to get, President Obama doesn't have the authority. As well. If you don't think same sex marriage hurt anyone, you may need to take a second look. With "po...

From the Basement: Governor Herbert Vetoes HB 76 – Concealed Carry Without a Permit
http://fromthebasement.blogspot.com/2013/03/governor-herbert-vetoes-hb-76-concealed.html
Friday, March 22, 2013. Governor Herbert Vetoes HB 76 – Concealed Carry Without a Permit. Governor Gary Herbert has vetoed Utah House Bill 76, a modification to Utah’s concealed carry laws for fire arms, and I’m glad. This bill would allow anyone in Utah to carry concealed weapons, without a concealed carry permit. Some of my friends will likely be upset with me, but I can’t imagine why it would have passed in the first place. Posted by John Newman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What I'm doing now.

Thursday, July 03, 2014. Hobby Lobby and Delusion of Corporate Personhood. The recent supreme court ruling regarding Hobby Lobby has a lot of people up on arms. Including me. I'm not sure how many of these people are upset for the same reasons, though. To me, this has less to do with religious rights than with the political fiction that corporations are people. When a shareholder is allowed to act as himself, and as the corporation, the shareholder effectively becomes more than one person. Political camp...

Friday, March 28, 2008. Questar Gas Makes Utahans Pay. Which really holds a monopoly for natural gas delivery in Utah, has made a mistake and wants Utahans to pay for it. They screwed up calibrating some of their meters, and now say that about 500 customers owe them more money, about $600,000 more. This is on the low end, it turns out. The average "correction" billed to make up for Questar's mistake was $1,200.00. If you're one of the affected customers, I recommend you contact the PSC to file a complaint.

Confessions of a Mormon Foodie: Peanut Butter Pasta - Hold the Jelly
http://mormonfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/04/peanut-butter-pasta-hold-jelly.html
Monday, April 7, 2008. Peanut Butter Pasta - Hold the Jelly. One of my favorite pasta dishes, and a favorite of my children as well, is spaghetti with peanut butter sauce. Yep! The first time I saw this recipe was in Jeff Smith's “Frugal Gourmet Whole Family Cookbook.” I loved the “Froog.” As a young man, I watched “The Frugal Gourmet” on PBS religiously. It's only natural that I picked up a thing or two from him. 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter. 1/3 cup hot water. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Serves 4 to 6.

Wednesday, April 02, 2008. Why is Violence Increasing in Utah? I've noticed a horrible trend of increasing incidents of violence within my home state of Utah, and across the rest of the United States as well. The latest victim in the news is 7-year old Hser Nay Moo, a beautiful young girl from Burma. She had been abducted a couple of days ago and was found dead, late last night. Reports say that the police already have a man in custody. And that he has admitted to causing her death. What happened to show...
