KSL’s investigative reporting has learned it’s not a very good idea to build your house on a mountain that has been moving since the dawn of time. They have fasted, prayed, and consulted with BYU’s world renowned department of Passing Judgement on Others concluding that it’s still not a good idea to build your house on sand. They did, however, agree that construction could move forward in sandy areas if you could use the equity in your current home to build another home, those encouraging you to commit mortgage fraud were BYU graduates or if it increased the size of your downline. Utah County has since been offered in a trade to Wyoming for a new shinny dime and half a stick of gum. Wyoming officials are debating the offer considering the damage Utah County would do to Wyoming’s reputation.

I’m sure this list will grow. In fact I know it will. I’m just getting it started.

“Hello ‘dis is WAL-marts. How can I help you today?

“Yes. I’d like to order a cake for a going away party.”

“Ok. What would you like it to say?”

“We’d like to say, ‘best wishes Suzanne’ and underneath that ‘we’ll miss you’.”

“Okay so that is, ’best wishes Suzanne and underneath that we’ll miss you’?”

“Correct.”

“That will be ready in two to three hours for you to pick up.”

AWESOME!

Today I announced that Utah Senator Chris Buttars will be award with the prestigious Horses Ass Award. Senator Chris Buttars (R, Senate  10) was first nominated after his racist comments last year. Last year Buttars described legislation on the Senate floor by saying, “This baby is black…this is a dark, ugly thing.” He then followed up that comment with this gem, ”the ACLU – bless their black hearts…,”

He ensured his place in history after opening his mouth once again to show everyone what a angry, hateful bigot he is. In a documentary about the LDS church’s involvement in California’s Prop 8 in 2008 Buttars was interviewed and reported compared homosexuals to radical muslims. That is just ridiculous because homosexuals don’t wear turbans. Buttars said, ”It’s just like the Muslims. Muslims are good people and their religion is anti-war. But it’s been taken over by the radical side.” Buttars also claims he’s “killed” every gay rights bill in the legislature for the last 8 years. He also talks about gay marriage being the beginning of the end. He offered real insight and understanding when he said, ”What is the morals of a gay person? You can’t answer that because anything goes.” And finally, this is how senator Buttars refers to the radical gay movement by saying, ‘They’re probably the greatest threat to America going down I know of.”

On his website Buttars states:

“One thing is sure; I will always be clear on where I stand on any issue and why I have taken that position.”

So I’ll break this down for you.

Sen. Buttars position: Homosexuality is evil and so are homosexuals.

Why: Buttars is a hate filled, ignorant bigot who just might be suppressing his own same gender attraction by attacking the homosexual community. Just a thought…

All I can hope and pray for is God to bless this Senator with a child or grandchild with same gender attraction so he might learn to be a decent human being.

Honorable Mention award goes to the residents of West Jordan who RE-ELECTED Senator Bigot Buttars last fall. West Jordan, I’d like to thank you for perpetuating the stereotype that Utah is full of close-minded, angry, republican bigots who claim to have a better Jesus than the rest of the world. Please get a clue when your out shopping tomorrow.

INTRODUCING BITCHY THE HARRIS HAWK & BMO FIELD PROTECTOR!

The term “eyes like a hawk” has taken on a whole new meaning at BMO Field as the home of Toronto FC has a new guardian overlooking the pitch. Perched high above sits TFC’s newest member – Bitchy (as named by you the fans) the hawk. Enlisted to stand guard on match days, Bitchy is trained to protect the BMO Field faithful from…of all things … seagulls!

The proximity to Lake Ontario and of course all the fine food around BMO Field makes the stadium a haven for gulls. The pesky birds have caused quite the nuisance for players, fans and of course the clean up staff. But that all ends going forward.

Enter Parabuteo unicinctus, or as she is more commonly known as – Bitchy the Harris Hawk. This four year old bird of prey has a 1.2 metre wingspan and strikes fear in the eyes of seagulls (as well as rabbits, rodents, lizards and possibly visiting teams). Our newest supporter will be at all TFC home games to watch over our house.

DIAMOND BAR, California (AP) — In what some may consider an unexpected move, rap artist “Snoop Dogg” has reportedly converted to Mormonism after nearly a year of study with the fast-growing, Utah-based faith

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Snoop Dogg — whose real name is Calvin Broadus — said he considers himself extremely fortunate to have discovered such a deep sense of spiritual fulfillment at this stage in his life.

“Mr. Broadus is also very pleased to find that his family is as enthusiastic about attending church services as he is,” the spokeswoman said.

However, Snoop Dogg has not been enthusiastic about publicly sharing his experience and declined to be interviewed by CNN for this article. In fact, he reportedly informed producers of his E! reality show “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood” that this particular aspect of his family’s life was off-limits to the cameras. Still, he left open the possibility of addressing the subject in future episodes.

According to the Associated Press, Snoop Dogg was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as the Mormon Church is officially known, after attending a Gladys Knight concert in an LDS meeting house in Los Angeles.

Knight, who very publicly discusses her conversion to Mormonism several years ago, invited Snoop Dogg to what is known to the Mormon faithful as “Family Home Evening,” a church program that encourages families to set aside Monday evenings for gospel-centered lessons and family togetherness.

Though Snoop Dogg has been hesitant to publicly discuss his recent spiritual journey, he commented on the experience of attending his first “Family Home Evening” in a recent interview with People Magazine.

“I was hooked from the start,” Snoop Dogg said. “We talked about the purpose of life, played Mousetrap, and ate brownies. The kids thought it was off the hook, for real.”

In what Snoop Dogg now thinks was anything but a coincidence, Mormon missionaries had knocked on his door just one week before the Knight concert. He said he had initially turned them away because of what he knew about the strict Mormon health code, which prohibits members from smoking, drinking alcohol, and using drugs.

“Y’all know me,” he said grinning broadly. “There were just certain things they old me — the “natural man” — needed to do. And these young guys are telling me that God’s not down with disrespecting ourselves. But it’s cool now.”

Snoop Dogg said his conversion marks the end of his old life, one that included frequent run-ins with the law. Snoop Dogg was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. In 1997, he pleaded guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence.

In 1996, Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder after a purported gangbanger was killed by gunfire from the vehicle in which Snoop Dogg was traveling.

Snoop Dogg dismisses critics who claim his conversion is intended to placate a Salt Lake County judge, before whom he is appealing an alleged probation violation.

“Listen, the haters will say what they will,” Snoop Dogg said. “I can only do what I feel is right.”
