A man in Colorado was shot for being Catholic. Makes you wonder, if a gunman broke into a business meeting and asked if you were religious, would you admit to being LDS? I'd think I would, but I hope to never find out.

What do you think of Bush bailing out the auto industry? It's interesting that he waited for a slow news week to do it.

The Illinois governor wants to get a lot of money for appointing Obama's replacement. Nah, there's no corruption in the US government. Especially not Chicago, Illinois.

I think that the dam is starting to burst. Family and friends of a homosexual man in Greeley, CO are upset because a local church wouldn't allow the funeral there unless the pastor of that church gave the message. The family and friends wanted the pastor of their church, one that caters to gay people, to...

Some parents are angry about a former porn star being employed at their kids' school. What do you think? Would it be a big deal to you? Would it not matter at all? My view is that we don't have enough information. It's possible that she's repented, and I don't think that her former sins make her a danger to c...

eHarmony.com has now bowed to official pressure and will have to match gays, even though this is at odds with their beliefs. This is horrible. Not only have they been forced to match gays, but they have to pay the government back for their investigation of the issue. Anyone who thinks that there wouldn...

My stake center was broken into last night. There's been a rash of church robberies in the area, so it's probably not specifically targeted against LDS. They've been taking food and valuables. They didn't get much of value, but they did significant damage to a window (that they probably entered thro...

Even well before the election, there have been and are now a number of challenges of Obama's elligibility to be President because of serious doubt about his having been born in the USA or having been a US citizen at birth. The biggest question now is why Obama, if a legitimate Hawaii birth certifica...

Here is an article in Meridian about the protests at the LA temple. In my opinion, this is reprehensible. It also is, in my studied opinion, the start of modern day persecution of the saints. Try telling a saint who's had their home or car vandalized because of acting on their belief that they're not bei...

All of the Wal-Marts across Tennessee sold out of ammunition as of yesterday. A reliable source said that one of the purchasers commented that while Russia may have invaded Georgia , they sure as hell ain't doin' it to Tennessee .

How would you feel if your kid came home from high school one day and said that the school had been testing everyone for HIV? That's happening at a school in MO. As many as 50 kids may have been exposed because an unknown person (it's not even specified if it was a student or not) was infected and exposed oth...

A judge has entered a "not guilty" plea for the man accused of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart. Brian David Mitchell has been found not competent to stand trial two times so far. I think he's sane enough to stand trial, he's just good at faking it so that he doesn't have to. Especially considerin...

I've heard in many news stories about Republicans who are planning to vote for Obama. I can understand, but not agree with, Republicans holding their nose and voting for McCain. But it's shocking to me that, for instance, Christopher Buckley, the son of William F. Buckley (a very famous Republican c...

According to this article, the government is planning to spend more than half a trillion bolstering money market accounts. I never thought of government as being thrifty, but isn't over two trillion of emergency spending in a little over a month kind of a lot? I heard on the Glenn Beck show yesterday t...

Nebraska's law doesn't have a maximum age attached and people are dropping off teenagers. (Ok, for a half a second that's funny. Then it's really, really sad.)
