Deja vu all over again
Yes, that's the legislature back in town. Supposedly for a little cleanup today and tomorrow, primarily to enable a little pork that wasn't carefully crafted enough to pass gubernatorial muster the last go-round. Lobbyists will get to unlimber their plastic tonight one more time.







Comments
I always am reminded of the George F. cartoon with wailing sirens sending dogs and kids scurrying for cover when the leg heads back to town.
Thanks for the warning. Be a good day to be anywhere but LR.

The only way legislative sessions directly affect me, Stump, aside from consequences of their legislative efforts, is that I temporarily avoid trying to have lunch at Cotham's in the City or Doe's Eat Place.

Cheer up. You could live in Utah.
Don Larsen, chairman of legislative District 65 for the Utah County Republican Party, had submitted a resolution warning that Satan's minions want to eliminate national borders and do away with sovereignty.
In a speech at the convention, Larsen told those gathered that illegal immigrants "hate American people" and "are determined to destroy this country, and there is nothing they won't do."
Illegal aliens are in control of the media, and working in tandem with Democrats, are trying to "destroy Christian America" and replace it with "a godless new world order - and that is not extremism, that is fact," Larsen said. [.]
Republican officials then allowed speakers to defend and refute the resolution. One speaker, who was identified as "Joe," said illegal immigrants were Marxist and under the influence of the devil. Another, who declined to give her name to the Daily Herald, said illegal immigrants should not be allowed because "they are not going to become Republicans.."

If the legislature has time to correct Bills to give State money away to special projects maybe they have time to allow me the opportunity to freeze my credit report like 30 other States give their citizens !

That's damn spooky, Cato! But exactly what you get when you turn the country over to religious zealots who think war is divine and 'God' acts through monkeyboy.
You bet most illegal immigrants are smart enough to know the Republicans don't represent them...or anyone who's not a religious nut, wealthy or business owner. And we certainly need a massive influx of em to counteract the nuts who gave us the Bush dynasty.

>>At the end of his speech, Larsen began to cry, saying illegal immigrants were trying to bring about the destruction of the U.S. "by self invasion." <<
Damn Cato, just when I was beginning to think it was alright to drink the water again, to travel across America this summer without landing in a torture prison you go and post this.

Wow! That article Cato linked to would be downright funny if I didn't think they were serious. Don't they know that many of the immigrants are Catholic so are likely to be just as against abortion and birth control as they are?
Wow! Just wow!
