I like the Mormons, I'm always nice to the young ones serving their Quest or whatever it's called.  Most of the people were very pleasant in a genuine way, not to mention incredibly good-looking and fertile.  I had Saturday breakfast at a diner-type restaurant, and I swear one family had to use a table the size of something you'd find in a conference room to accommodate the whole well-behaved pure Aryan brood. 

Not to mention Deseret is breathtakingly beautiful.  One night in Ogden and I was about ready to convert.  Besides, I'm sick of booze and coffee anyways, and if I really wanted to defy the Word of Wisdom, the 3.2 beer brewed specifically for the Utah market isn't bad at all -- like your standard English ale, since 3.2% ABW = 4.0% ABV -- and "real" coffee is all the more alluring.  It's disappointing a little, actually, Utah's getting to be more like anywhere else, these things aren't maintained as strictly as I'd expected, at least in urbane Northern Utah.

Yes, that is so. It is stricter in Provo where the LDS church is strongest. Salt Lake City is becoming very liberal and its changing the landscape. The Church still has a firm grip on state politics though and usually when the religious leadership expresses dislike of a bill it quietly dies in the state legislature.

I had a lovely time at the gay bars in SLC. :)

I had faith in your on-the-ground political coverage, J.

Kind of pathetic that Rubio is leaving the senate. Public service apparently makes sense to the extent he might be president. Otherwise, time to make bank as a lobbyist.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Just checked Paddy Power, they're laying 4/9 on Clinton and 5/2 on Trump.  I agree Hillary is clearly odds-on, but those are some crazy odds.

I went into a Paddy Power location a couple weeks ago because I really didn't know what it was and I was curious. There's one right in Temple Bar.

Once I got in there I recognized everything instantly.  :lol:

Southern Idaho surprised me by being seemingly just as Mormon as Utah. 

Definitely got that vibe myself when I was there.
