It might be a new day in Washington once the Democrats are in charge. Anyone remember Russ Feingold's bill to curtail the gifts that lobbyists give to members of Congress? No?

We went to see this movie tonight. From the trailer, I thought the premise sounded interesting, though Jesse and I have seen a number of movies this year with really interesting or funny sounding premises that just fell short (like this one ).

The state and county are posting election returns on their respective websites. Since there were long lines at most of the polls today (or so I've heard), it may take a while for many of the precincts to report in. Here's all of the larger counties in Utah as well as the state:

Neilson ratings aren't everything any more. NBC revealed that "The Office" was on the chopping block until they put it on iTunes and saw the numbers soar. Based on that, they decided to order more episodes of the show saving it from a likely abrupt end. Did iTunes save "The Office" from an untimely death? […]
