Re: My Interview with Brian Hauglid is Up!

The irony of Two Inks Gee, complaining to BYU about Hauglid telling the truth, is just about as staggering as it gets. Perhaps Gee is just using Hauglid as a pawn in his game of trying to hit back at the people who bounced him off into a campus Cul-De-Sac...It will be interesting to see if Gee’s new...

Re: MLM specialist appointed as General Young Mens President

Ahead of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Mitt Romney was recruited to take charge of running what the Los Angeles Times later described as "the cash-strapped organizing committee." A big part of his job was to address the event's $179-million shortfall by drumming up big-money dona...

Latter-day Saints typically get their first glance — either in-person or via camera — of a newly called Young Men general president when he’s sustained at general conference and makes his way to the front of the Conference Center to sit with the other general Church officers.

Tad Callister: Be grateful for Misogynistic Racists

Tad's at it again, cherry picking. Were the Founding Fathers heroes, or as some claim, villains? Ted Stewart, a federal judge, put this question in its proper light: “Today, it is common to criticize the founders of America. Judging them by today’s standards of equality and justice they do fail.

Utah Author attempts to stereotype Post Mormon thinking

When Mette Harrison was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she found that many fellow members had rigid and doctrinaire views that required a sort of unthinking acquiescence.
