So, I'm sitting here this morning in Salt Lake, and I figured I'd ask about tax exempt status, the Mormon church, and Prop 8

So, periodically I head over to Corrente or Talk Left just to see what's up. It never ceases to amaze me how differently they see the world, but it's left me wondering about my own perspective in deciding who's a concern troll and who's genuinely worried ....

A while back I posted a diary about my son and his illness. I thought I'd briefly follow up in case folks were checking up on us. Read More

On August 30th, I watched my wonderful wife give birth to a beautiful little boy via cesarean section. Watching the whole procedure was mind blowing, and seeing his little head and hearing his first cries brought tears to my eyes. Seeing the fortitude and strength of my wife over the next 3 days in the hospital was awe inspiring, her dedication to taking care of him once we got home caused me to begin to write a diary expressing my gratitude for mothers everywhere - the pain, the joy, the perserverence and the dedication is takes to bring a new life into the world and to shepherd that little one through growing up.

I'm really not as much of a conspiracy freak as this is going to sound, I promise. Here goes.

I'm going to have a son in September, and I'd like to insulate him as much as possible from prying eyes, both private and public. Not having had a child before, I'm not sure if the hospital automatically registers newborns for a SSN, or if it's something I have to do, or ....

I'd like registering for the system to be up to my son, I just don't know how to do it. Read More

When Condi said that we'd made tactical mistakes, but that the strategy of getting rid of Saddam was the right one, and would be judged as so, I believe that many observers missed an obvious point. Read More

What with the recent NSA revelations, and the efforts of the White House and some Republicans to portray these actions as legal, and indeed Constitutional, I've had an idea. Read on if you'd like to send a message to your Congresscritter Read More

I can't help but think that what happened last night was a truly watershed
event in American politics. I'm very pessimistic about where we're headed,
so beware - the following screed borders on a defeatist rant. That's just
where I am with what happened - I think it's over. For a very long time.

I'll start out with why I'm so pessimistic, and then go into my thoughts on what
"moral leadership" means, and why people think Kerry didn't show it. Read More

Convincing photographic proof that the explosives were at Al Qaqaa when the 101st got there, and that they were still under seal and lock.

Pretty good scoop for a local station!

This should put the lie to all the speculation that the explosives were either moved by Saddam or looted before we got there.

It's even better that this story was broken by a swing state local TV station ;)

Bush was shallow and flippant

So, after everything Dean accomplished in the primary cycle, and everything he's done since, it looks like he's not going to get many props at the convention. Being new to the "party", this makes me both pissed and sad. I wonder if there's much hope in the party for people that really want change.
