Boing Boing: Satan responsible for illegal immigration, says Utah delegate Years ago, in fact immediately after leaving Utah for college in Oregon, I quickly learned to say "I was born in Colorado" when asked where I was from.

Fanatical Apathy · Cancer n’ Me Adam Felber (ace WWDTM panelist) had a less than positive experience with the totally disorganized and indifferent crap that is the American health care system the other day. He’s happy to say that he has not-cancer! Hurray! And he had pretty much diagnosed himself correctly via WebMD, but that didn’t stop him from thinking that The Cancer had invaded his lymph nodes, whatever those are. As it happens, I also had a less-than-satisfactory experience with my health care provider Tuesday, and I had also pretty much diagnosed myself via Google and various diagnosed myself…

I read just now on her blog that Holly Mullen will now be an editor at the City Weekly, a Salt Lake alternative newspaper.

so make it up I'm getting married. I got engaged to my long-time boyfriend about two weeks ago, and I've decided to blog about the whole ungirly-bride process. My attempts to make sense of (read: mock) it all should yield infinite hits, as other like-minded women (not to mention cultural studies professors and other Paglia types) scour the World Wide Net Superhighway for scraps of sanity amidst the wedding machine madness. In addition to writing about my impending nuptuals, I will continue to deconstruct, harangue and satirize the rest of girl culture as well. In some ways, the wedding industry…

Awesome Video about things on the ground in Iraq! « Hardliner Blog BBC4 documentary about the "reality" of Iraq, and how little of that reality is translated into images on the evening news. Contains graphic scenes, but they must be faced without blinking or flinching, because to turn away is to deny the truth. Via OneUtah.org
