    Smile Police? I’m A Hardened Criminal Frowner

    July 11, 2009 - By 

    If they ever introduce face-to-face webcam/phone interfaces at work, my career in travel is so over. I’m what you might call a… hard-featured woman. When in repose, I always look like I’m frowning slightly. Gravity has taken its toll on my face somewhat, and it takes extra effort to lift it into a smile, so most of the time, WHY BOTHER?? unless I actually have something to smile about. As you might have guessed, I’m not a natural smiler, don’t have a particularly attractive smile anyway, and can’t stand people who walk around with big smiles on their faces all…

    Pat Bagley, SL Tribune Cartoonist Extraordinaire

    July 11, 2009 - By 

    Yes, Virginia, there IS satire in Utah. Don’t miss the “GOP Values Party!” cartoon…. or the “Senator Orrin McClownshoes” one… or the “Digitally Enhanced Pixelated Basin” one … oh, just keep clicking the little seagull. The Salt Lake Tribune — Pat Bagley Here’s a few selections of Bagley’s cartoons just in July and June: We Republicans are the Values… PARTY!! Digitally Enhanced Pixelated Basin and my personal favorite, now that Al Franken has finally taken his Senate seat: I think that’s Harry Reid on the left (naturally), and it’s definitely Borin’ Orrin on the far right, of course.

    Internet Declares Socks-Found-Safe Thanksgiving Day 2009

    July 11, 2009 - By 

    @Pennycat denies involvement in disappearance of Twitteratti @Sockington Sockington is Missing (Update: FOUND) — HUZZAH SOCKS ARMY UPDATE: SOCKS HAS BEEN FOUND. He was underneath a shelf in my office, wrapped in a curtain, completely spooked and terrified. For the first time in years, he spent hours completely silent, not even reacting to hands, flashlights and food being waved inches from where he was. We’ve got him resting in a bedroom and letting whatever freaked him out get out of his system. As I posted on Jason’s blog post and Flickr page showing a very subdued Sockington, it’s a huge…

    Backwash From Bailin’

    July 5, 2009 - By 

    @AKMudflats, it’s a beautiful day on the Internets when attorneys threaten bloggers and radio hosts with defamation, for freedom. Let’s all get our boots on, it’s gonna get spooty. AKMuckraker: Huffington Post Blogger in Palin’s Cross Hairs Using the substantial might of the Executive branch of government to bring down unenforceable legal threats on a private citizen in Alaska, and attempting to curtail free speech through intimidation on the Fourth of July? Not a particularly brilliant PR move. By specifically singling out and naming Moore, Palin has done two things; she has shown herself to be a reactionary immature politician,…

    Palin Bailin’ Out

    July 4, 2009 - By 

    Every blogger worth her or his salt has already had a lot to say about Sarah Palin’s gobsmacking resignation yesterday. I can’t possibly improve on what they had to say (you should visit Mudflats, the companion piece at Huffpost, and Andrew Sullivan’s “Iceberg” post and catch up there). I heard fairly long clips of this speech on NPR on my way home, and I was trying to make sense of it and drive safely. All too soon, I gave up on trying to parse the unparseable and concentrated on getting home without incident. Some of the phrases I heard, however…

    Tract houses like ours don’t have front porches, and Steve can’t be inside with all the cat stuff. Patio stuff is still packed (rainy spring and summer). Solution: camp chairs on the driveway. With iPhones. Earlier, Steve had his Mac laptop out (the wi-fi juuuust makes it). He leaves for his road trip soon. West Coast, you have been warned. Ginny I can has iPhone?
