Continue to bitch about gas prices while bending over and taking it.

The anti-voucher crowd was handed a narrow defeat this week with the 38-37 passage of HB148, a bill expected to sail through the Senate and land on Gov. Huntsman's desk Real Soon Now(TM).

Have you ever read something so fantastic, so blatantly wrong and full of lies that you could only sit there with a bemused "I can't believe someone would say that" look on your face? I had such an experience tonight after reading a rant against Mitt Romney that turned into one of the more […]
