Okay, this is both funny and desperately sad. Also, I really, really think the UT-SAT students really need to take a look at the fine print: U. of Texas honor code apparently plagiarized from BYU’s code – Salt Lake Tribune SAN ANTONIO – University of Texas at San Antonio students wanted to draft an honor code that discouraged cheating and plagiarizing. Unfortunately, it appears they copied Brigham Young University’s code without proper attribution. The student in charge of drafting the code said it was an oversight, but cheating experts say it illustrates a sloppiness among Internet-era students who don’t know…

 …it’s a good idea to remove the distinctive nametag while committing a blasphemous act of desecration, Elder. I expect a better quality image exists, and that law enforcement has already sharpened it up. The Pueblo Chieftain Online – Church to vote on vandalism charges

Spiritual caregivers: Beyond physical healing – Salt Lake Tribune For 22 years, Lincoln Ure, an Episcopal priest, has been the clinical pastoral education supervisor at St. Mark’s Hospital, the one site in Utah that offers the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) training. Succeeding as a chaplain, Ure explained, “takes some serious internal work.” Father Linc spent some time with Mom and with the rest of our spiritually divergent family while Mom was at St Mark’s. He was such a good sport when she was throwing us out one by one – offered to go in and be thrown out,…

Keith Olbermann makes it 13 times that the Bush administration used a suspiciously timed terror alert or arrest announcement to either negate unfavorable news, or neutralize positive news about political opponents. Only thirteen times?

Salt Lake Tribune – Cannon in line for possible promotion WASHINGTON – Republicans will have a difficult time reclaiming the House in November’s elections with a slew of incumbents deciding to retire, resign or run for higher office. Huh? Why did they change the headline? Why is this a duplicate story? I blogged it yesterday. Salt Lake Tribune – Cannon growing old in D.C. WASHINGTON – Republicans will have a difficult time reclaiming the House in November’s elections with a slew of incumbents deciding to retire, resign or run for higher office.

Yep, I had more on Chris Buttars that I found today. Sen. Chris Buttars listens to Cristy Gleave, of Salt Lake City, as she testifies before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Monday about Buttars’ bill to repeal the new domestic-partnership registry. (Scott Sommerdorf/The Salt Lake Tribune) “Christensen said Amendment 3 deliberately outlaws synonyms or substitutes that “approximate marriage.” And he alleged that registry supporters have “a broader agenda” than securing health benefits or visitation rights – which never have been threatened, according to SB267 backers. Tell that to Cristy Gleave, a lesbian mother who told the committee…

Utah’s other idiot pol named Chris, Rep. Cannon of that ilk, shoots his mouth off over his dreams of chairing a committee in Congress and bein’ all ‘portant and stuff. He has a mathematically possible chance and a practically impossible chance: a whole bunch of senior Republicans have decided to retire (or euphemism of choice) off of committees he’s on, but the Democrats would have to lose their majority for him to be anything other than “ranking Republican” on them. Or, “rank Republican” if you prefer. He paints a rosy picture indeed of how wonderful it would be for him…
