Prop 8 protests in SLC

Thousands protest LDS stance on same-sex marriage – Salt Lake Tribune

Opponents of a measure that banned gay marriage in California took their outrage to the spiritual hub of Mormonism on Friday.

More than 3,000 people swarmed downtown Salt Lake City to march past the LDS temple and church headquarters, protesting Mormon involvement in [...]

Fingers crossed

The drive to defeat Prop 8 isn’t completely dead yet … seems the proponents of Prop 8 didn’t get legislative approval for a Constitutional revision before placing the prop on the ballot; so it’s possible that Prop 8 constitutes an unlawful amendment.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Same-sex marriage ban wins; opponents sue to block measure [...]

It’s time

Sometimes, I really wish I didn’t have to turn to the foreign media to get the best news from an unbiased and objective perspective. The Economist has long been one of those foreign sources of news to which I have turned to get a broader perspective of world events.

Round Two

As I noted a couple posts ago, I have officially become a propagandist, by posting and helping to share the Keating Economics documentary video, which goes into John McCain’s connections to Charles Keating, Jr., and the failed savings and loan crisis of the early 1990s.

The fight between the two candidates is getting nasty, with [...]
