So Curt Bramble, the Majority Leader of the Utah Senate, ordered a pizza from a local pizza joint and didn’t understand their policy on not taking personal checks – no big deal, right?
Well, it wouldn’t have been if Curt hadn’t been so difficult about it, flaunted his title and money (he’s a public servant – [...]

In the time it took you to read this, 50,000 Utahns got married. Ok, not quite, but in a place where weddings are as abundant as clouds in the sky, I think it’s high time we addressed the most absurd, horrid, and downright tacky wedding trends that seem to be so prevalent in this [...]

I’m getting tired of posting about how Utahns don’t care for animals, but stories keep popping up about animals being abused and neglected. Recently, 17 lop eared Angora rabbits were found wandering on Highway 91.

Utah was ranked by the Animal Legal Defense Fund as having the weakest animal abuse laws in the entire country. (Right at the bottom with Utah was Alaska, Arkansas, Kentucky, and North Dakota.) This is unacceptable, Utah! Nearly every day, we hear a story of high school kids pulling pranks such as stealing and killing [...]

A Pleasant Grove teenager may be headed for the slammer. The teenager (whose name was not released) was arrested after streaking during the Pleasant Grove High School homecoming pageant (via KSL).
If the teen is convicted of the charges – lewdness in the presence of a minor – he may have to register as [...]
