Utah’s republican party believes that illegal immigrants and Satan are in cahoots to overthrow America

Charlene @ 6:06 am

…and this is in a verifiable publication used for the public record: the Provo, Utah-based Daily Herald.  One of the more choice excerpts:

“illegal immigrants should not be allowed because ‘they are not going to become Republicans and stop flying the flag upside down. … If they want to be Americans, they should learn to speak English and fly their flag like we do.’”

Read on at the link above to get a good bit of insight on our political process.  The paper’s office is on Freedom Blvd, btw.

I’m free!…almost

Charlene @ 10:00 am

Reasons I’m free:
Classes and papers are done, I miraculously got my place sublet for a month (so I’m only out $100 rather than $650), and I bought my ticket back to Atlanta.

Reasons I’m not free: I’m still working fulltime this week, my laptop still is virtually unusuable without an external monitor, I haven’t packed, and I still don’t know where I’m going in Peace Corps.

On the other hand, I finished Transmetropolitan, which warmed the curmudgeonly cockles of my heart. More on that later.

Book recommendations (for those who have oh so much free time)

Charlene @ 6:44 pm

Yes! For once, a non-graphic novel recommendation!

Jonathan Glover’s Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century

Amazon link

I still have a stolen copy from Yvonne… :)

Anyway, sometimes dense but totally readable I think - a thinking book…
