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.

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."

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.

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.
