And also because he’s really really really fucking stupid. Like, dumber than the dumbest sixth grader stupid.

She has united our household; my girlfriend and I both masturbate to Megyn Kelly. It’s weird and wrong but so fucking hot all at once.

Kaepernick is not an NFL caliber QB. Love him, hate him, whatever. He does not belong under center in the NFL. Some team will give him several million dollars for a couple years to be a back-up but he can’t escape the fact that the job of NFL QB is beyond him. I fucking LOVE him and want him to do well, but take…

I hope that, too, but I don’t think it’ll happen. Now that the right has tapped into the insecure, cry-baby white man demographic they really have to ride it out and get what they can out of it. That’s their voting base now. In 20017. Now. In 2017. Sorry, had to type it twice because, well . . . .

I’ve been out of the church for decades and did not know all that. You’re absolutely right about it being a calling.

In fairness to him, his view is at least partly based on the fact that Roe v. Wade is just poorly argued jurisprudence, a view shared even by some people who support abortion rights. There is a huge body of literature on the issue. And even setting that aside, the truly libertarian position, which I think McMullin…

He’s entirely too sane to become a republican leader. The leadership won’t allow it and now that the batshit-insane wing of the party is out in the open, it would never allow it either. And, of course, the issue of abortion and sex ed would sink him. I think he’s got a lot in common with John Huntsman. Smart,…

Jesus, you fucking ignorant whackadoo. You have no idea what you’re talking about. There is exactly one state in the union that has a constitutional prohibition on polygamy. Guess which one it is, dumbfuck? Utah. Guess where the polygamists live? Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. Do a simple google search on your…

It’s kinda the best place but also not a great place. You don’t get to choose where you’re born but it is such a weird, desolate hunk of land it’s hard not to like it. It may as well be the surface of the moon.

It’s hard to imagine two people who are more complete polar opposites in intelligence, ability, education, class, etc. than Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. Ms. Obama could teach constitutional law, Melania probably can’t spell constitutional law.

This further messes up Deadspin’s pre-Holm Rousey narrative that she was so far outside the norm and dominant that she was completely unbeatable (see also, GS Warriors last year).

Whoever he is he had no business being on that horse’s back. Jesus, he has no goddamn idea what he’s doingup there.

Big Trouble because it has Puddy asking Andy Richter “are you going to help me or sit there like a fat stupid asshole?” Possible the funniest line in movie history.

On the grand spectrum of Christianity-based racism, sexism and homophobia, Mormonism’s is pretty benign, and even non-Mormon people who live in Utah will tell you that. My mother is the most Mormon woman who ever lived. But you could be the most militant black lesbian imaginable and you still couldn’t get out of her…

There are about ten Utah counties where Hillary came in third, some with single digit percentages (she got 11% in my beloved Box Elder County and 7% in Uintah County). I think there was a lot of moral posturing about never voting for Trump—and McMullin did pretty well in the state—but most Mormons pulled the lever…

I would slightly disagree on it being a “calling” in the way Mormons use that word (e.g., called to be a bishop, home teacher, etc.). It has a ruthlessly difficult try-out process and if you’re good enough you get in. There’s some choice in the matter.

I’m a recovering, sometimes bitter, Mormon but absolutely love MoTab. You will never hear a more serenely beautiful sound than the choir singing at the Salt Lake conference center, and the traditional Mormon hymns are the most moving (the CDs are good but you have to feel that vibration live to really get the full…

They’re a white boy jam band. I can’t imagine what ground you think they’re breaking. It’s for people who don’t want their music to be too interesting.

Nooooo . . . ! Memory Grove is . . . nice? But better than Tanner? C’mon, man. In summer it’s pretty good but, seriously, c’mon. And if you are in charge of a canine American and you’ve never been to Willow Creek Park up in Park City then you are derelict in your duty. The giant meadow is the reason for my pupper’s…

There is lots of peeking over the shoulder, no doubt, and much whispering in the ears. And you’ll get no argument from me on all that church and state shit.
