This morning I woke to helicopters and security vehicles in my neighborhood. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is officially breaking ground on the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple today which is two blocks from my house. While I am not a very active member of the Church, I am very excited to see this building come to my neighborhood. It will preserve this area for many years to come.
As a member, all be it possibly an extreme jack Mormon member, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, it is my duty to report on what other members are doing in the world. Last Thursday Senator Gordon Smith R-Oregon, broke ranks with the president and withdrew his support of current policy in Iraq. Senator Smith claimed that the policy may be immoral because we continue to employ policies that have failed. I have to hand it to the Senator here— he is speaking plainly and honestly about the war. I get a strong feeling that Iraq will continue to divide the Republican party because of the way it relies on the personal convictions of one of the last Americans who still strongly supports the war —> George W. Bush.
Oh yeah and I bet Gordon Smith can dissent and still be a good Mormon 🙂
The New York Times ran an article today talking about my original home town and it’s love for George W. Bush. Out of the whole United States there are only three states where at least half of the folk still believe W is doing a good job, and sadly I live in one of those places. The article profiled people’s opinions in Provo, where despite low approval for Bush’s handling of key policy issues, the majority of people still support Bush. There is one key reason that Utahns support Bush; he is “good with God.” While George Bush might not be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, my fellow Utahns just can’t get enough of the “religious president Bush.” I really wish I could understand why they still support Bush. Ask a few LDS, Bush supporters in Utah if they agree with President Bush’s immigration policy, and strong majority would split with George. Go a step further, and ask Utahns if they enjoy the role the Republican Administration plays in their life and they would flat out detest the policies of the executive branch of the Federal government. Yet their support for Bush is strong. Utahns are very bright people, but when it comes to politics we Utahns vote our hearts and not our minds…I tend to vote my mind, but then again I am not the model Mormon ;-).
“Dell Schanze’s” post on my website a couple days ago was aparently not unique. Check out more of his dilusional rants on this site where Dell accuses someone of being Satan.

I am transferring all of my settings to a new laptop and I thought I would give my old blog a try. The new laptop is fully compatible with the blog, as it is a computer than can run an operating system! I also finally caught up on some of my old e-mail and found a WordPress Comment that stirred my interest. It seems like someone claiming to be Dell Schanze aka “SuperDell,” posted a comment in an old post. While this may be a prank, I have a feeling that this was actually a post by the right wing lunatic himself. My assumption is that a poor and miserable Dell may be spending his extended unemployment searching Technorati for comments about is sorry ass. I hope you had fun Dell, but we all think you are nuts, and a poor excuse for a business person.
Dell Schanze, a likely mentally insane Mormon business man, announced on Friday that his business Totally Awesome computers is going out of business. I found this quote by dell: “It’s too bad that all of the media in Utah are liars and murderers,” he said. “You just destroyed the greatest computer company of all time. We were the best in the world, the world champion. All this hatred was created by you. You’re basically angels of Satan. All I can say to the people in Utah is, please pray for all the news people.”
I hate how this man invokes his religion. Some of those liars and murders are employed by KSL / Deseret News which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am surprised that the Utah media has enough power to destroy the “Greatest Computer Company in the World.”
Go to hell Dell Schanze! Quit blaming the media for your business failure.
