I have a crush on Todd Palin. I know, I’ve never met the man, or even heard him speak or read more than a few trite quotes that escaped his lips. But he still makes me smile. Here is a man of the house, soccer dad, and tough as nails Iron Dog champion who races and wins — even with broken limbs.
My blog would be about how we — as world citizens — can join in making this a more peaceful planet. It is possible if we all intend it to be so.

Me! If I could have a famous blog, it would be about fashion. Because then maybe designers would send me things for free.
Well, it’s the start of another school year, which is a bigger adjustment for some than others. I’m a seasoned veteran at this. I moved to Utah for college 5 years ago and have lived here ever since, taking classes on and off (mostly off) all the while. Unlike the masses who flock back home for summer, I have made Provo my home.
The first presidential debate of the election season was full of dodged questions, both subtle and overt accusations, and many stories. Early on, Sen. McCain resembled his running mate Gov. Palin by dodging and fumbling in his responses to questions. McCain’s reliance on planned and panned umbrella answers became nauseating to watch.
John McCain isn’t very good at geography. Two weeks ago, when a reporter asked if he would meet with Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, his answer implied that he thought Zapatero was from Latin America when he spoke of his record with leaders of “this hemisphere.
We live in a society people. Take bodily function management for example. Though it usually goes without saying, every once in a while some dastardly miscreant comes ambling along, soiling the world around them with reckless impunity. And in those instances it is up to the good, the decent, the exemplary, the veritable moral rocks of Gibraltar, as it were, to give society the sort of stern reminder about what the core components of the social contract are.
This election season has been a season of firsts for the major parties. From Sen. Barack Obama’s meteoric rise as the first African-American nominee, to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s stalwart battle in the Democratic primaries, which brought her incredibly close to becoming the first woman on the presidential ticket.

Death and nudity are among many of the taboo subjects that are touched upon at Body Worlds, a traveling exhibition currently in Salt Lake City. Viewers of Body Worlds may be surprised to see skinless bodies displayed in a variety of cuts — dead babies and fetuses, and breasts and genitals in broad view.
Parking sucks. It’s an atrocity. The new library, grand in scale, takes up space — lots of parking space, that is. With only 8,000 parking spots to work with, and a significantly larger student body, there is a problem. True, there are spaces available out in no man’s land by the testing center with a bus en route to the school every 15 minutes.
