Spent a coupla nights (Provo and SLC) there last fall and was surprised to find you can get a drink in a restaurant, even fronting on the little <i>zócalo</i> next to the Tabernacle.

I like the PJs in the picture. Reminds me of the old Elvis lyric: "Number 47 said to number 23, you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see." Ah ... prison romance.

This is terrible news. Now all those Utahans, Mormons obvs, will start baptizing all their dead gay ancestors against their will.

I think the "cloud of uncertainty" argument is my new favorite! And applicable to so many legal conundrums.

For example: no, we should not sell guns to people without confirming they are not crazy sociopaths because of the cloud of uncertainty that unhinged people might shoot up schools.

I'm sure you all can come up with many others.
