I'll be blunt. If manufacturers and stores can sell it for 20 cents less or $2 less, then they should just lower the damn price and stop making us play the games - not to mention wasting a bunch of trees.
Today Sonia Sotomayor will be sworn in as a Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. It is another historical moment in a series since the last election. She is the third woman and the first Hispanic to serve in that position. I only know of her [...] 
Yes, it's another form of pork sought by Utah's senators Hatch and Bennett and Rep. Bishop who fought the cuts to production of the outdated fighter jets, despite the Defense Departments' strong support for those cuts. Of course, they are concerned about the loss of' [...] 
For many years we've had a pair of peregrines nesting in the high buildings of Salt Lake. This year we are lucky to have live cameras allowing us to watch the nest. Two young peregrines, hatched on May 30th and already are' [...] 
A couple days early, but not knowing what this weekend may hold, I thought I'd better post this now. Hope all you dads have a great day on Sunday. And I hope someone gives you a very nice cake, unlike those seen at CakeWrecks. Enjoy!
Jeez, is it over yet? There's been a steady build of tension toward this big event--the day the whole country lost analog and switched to digital TV. All the television stations have hammered this message to us every day for many months. They have begun to' [...] 
A year ago at this time, it was so hot, I was having trouble keeping my tender spring plants alive. Growth was way behind. This year, just the opposite. It's nice really. Not only are we saving the cost of watering our yards, we are saving' [...] 
I am so very pleased to announce that another author will be joining me here at RedStateBlues. This is someone I've known literally all her life, and I know she has some important ideas to add politically and otherwise. It's my daughter, Jenn!
I'm not posting my gardening activities here at RedStateBlues any longer, but I have a new post with pics on my My So-Called Life today.' [...]

Remember that family vacation when you stood at the only intersection of four states in the United States, and dad took your picture with your feet carefully placed so as to be in all four states at once? I'm sorry to inform you, you were just' [...] 
Check out the forecast for the coming week. After snow just a couple of days ago! Woo! As Duane in the Plane used to say, "Severe Clear". (Does anyone besides me remember Duane in the Plane? That was before traffic cams.) [...]

Continuing the series of good news posts, I read this week that Logan, Utah has seemingly been only slightly affected by the dive in the economy. 
It appears that the guv and the legislature have worked out a compromise for changes to Utah liquor laws. Of particular note is the doing away with private club designations for bars. No longer will you have to be a *wink-wink* member to get in. [...] 
UPDATE: Listen for yourself:
This is a little departure for this blog, but I think this author and book deserve some exposure and a wider audience. I hope my own readers here will consider picking up this lovely book. It's just a coincidence, but seems entirely appropriate that I would' [...] 
A friend on FB posted this. I just had to share. Listen all the way to the end. If laughter is the best medicine, this will cure whatever ails you.
Today President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter equal-pay legislation, allowing women greater opportunity to sue in cases of salary discrimination. As I understand it, under old law, a woman had just 180 days to file a suit from the time the discrimination began; that is, [...] Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, [...]
In late June, Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings and Weber County [...]
Apparently our CIA has found some innovative ways of obtaining information and cooperation from local leaders in Afghanistan. The Little Blue Pill, yes Viagra, has been successful in obtaining a “bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes – followed by a request for [...] 
Like a game of chicken, Senate Democrats and Republicans faced off on the auto industry bailout. One side for it but with insufficient votes, one side against it and with the numbers to kill it. No-one knew or even knows yet how great the consequences might [...] 
No, I'm not reading, nor am I reviewing the Sarah Palin book. But I'm delighted to say my favorite blogger, 80-something Helen, is reading it so we don't have to. As always, she minces no words. Read her review
