I thought it interesting that the Google 2001 index had only 671 search results for “Barack Obama“.
“Sarah Palin” had 0 results.

Well, the $700 billion (pre-pork) bailout bill passed 263 to 171, and our “conservative” president GWB has already signed it into law. Here’s the House vote and the Senate vote so you know who to hate.

I know Rob. I think he’s a good guy, and I like his politics [...]
The Deseret News is reporting that Governor Huntsman has ordered the Utah State Department of Commerce to monitor gas prices.
That’s just politics as usual, but I’m alarmed by how many people here in “conservative” Utah are commenting that they want the government to step in and “do something” rather than just “monitor”. It’s like we’re [...]

Thank goodness our “limited government” Republicans are here to bail us out of the negative economic results of big government through the use of even more big government. Socialized housing, here we come.
