I just returned from the anti-Bush and war protest at Pioneer Park. What a powerful and humbling experience to feel the tears of the mothers as they spoke of their dead sons who had unnecessarily died in a very unjust war.

Good for Rocky Anderson. He has reminded us that the donkey is the symbol of the liberal Democrats. And evidently they've been dieting on loco weed again.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars have held their conferences in Salt Lake City for the last 10 years. No more. This revenue is gone.

Rocky did what President Hinckley advises in his book. He stood for something.
