I had an LDS seminary teacher in Payson, UT who told our class that, “God roots for the Denver Broncos.”  Now I may not be the best mormon but I am going to guess that that was an untrue statement.

Utah Wins 5th Bowl

While this year was by no means as impressive as last year’s perfect season the Utah Utes did score two key victories.  On Nov 19 they beat the BYU loosers, and last Thursday they beat Georgia Tech in the Emerald Bowl.  I don’t quite know why it joys me so much to see BYU loose.  Before attending the University of Utah I was a BYU fan.  Now BYU just seems gay.

I am going to give this “Word Press” blogging software a try.  There are still a few bugs that I would like to work out with word press before I make a full blown switch.  Until then consider this a beta blog for Paul Jones Dayton.

Fundamentalist Christians are again taking up the holy fight agains those evil retailers out there who are referring to the season as the “Holidays” instead of refering to it as “Christmas.” Good morning, let me tell you something: WHO CARES? Besides, Christmas has always been about the mixing of different religious traditions. My particular christian denomination believes that Christ was born on April 6, more than three months after the traditional celebration of Christ’s birth. Why then is this holiday celebrated on December 25. Well there is a lesser know even that coincides with Christmas. WINTER SOLSTICE. Way back in the day our Eurasian ancestors celebrated a pagan holiday that included a massive light celebration. It was though that such a celebration would reverse the shortening of the days. Christians essentially assimilated this holiday into their religious calendar.

Today we have wacko Christian righty tighties who are just crazily defending everthing Christian. Does the friendly gesture “Happy Holidays” threaten your personal belief system? I can say with complete confidence that my faith in Christ remains unaffected by the “Happy Holidays” sign in my old home town of Payson.

The New York Times releases an investigation on Thursday detailing how the CIA spied on American citizens continually after September 11. This story shows that the Administration will stop at nothing to “protect us from terrorism.” How can we allow them to do this to US the people? We should live in a free country where we are free from being subject to a government that does not trust us. We should not sacrifice our most valuable possession of liberty for security. Security means nothing if we do not have freedoms and right to do what we will with out the fear of covert acts of domestic spying. Domestic spying is the work of tyrants.

I am starting to dislike postnuke. For those of you unfimilar with post nuke, post nuke is essentially a content management system that I use to run my website. Recently I have notice that it seems to be insecure. Nuke is lacking in certain features that I would like for my blog; namely easy to use linking, XML-RPC syndication that works. If any of you out there have suggestions for what to use for blogging just leave a comment.

Well it is Wednesday, but to those of us in the business world, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is Friday. I am so excited to have time off tomorrow and on Friday. As I always do I have neglected this page for a long time. Life is just too busy to keep up with all that I could.
On Saturday my sister Natalie was married for time and all eternity. I am very happy for her and wish the best for Natalie and Ricky.
Also on Saturday the University of Utah pwned BYU in the annual Utah Super Bowl. For years in a row, YEAH!

Well I am going to take some of this rare free time that I have to browse the internet. Take care and God bless.

Well Bush has done it again. Under pressure and down in the polls Bush has given the waco Right Wing exactly what they wanted: Scullia II.

I think it is high time to pull out the old Fillabuster. Democrats: Don’t let us down.

I really hate this day. Today is the day we roll our clocks back to standard time. I hate early coming of dark in the evening. Standard time = stupid time.
