They Heppin'

There are a couple of nasty, "Why aren't you doing well like everyone else?" ad campaigns going on right now.  First is Parents Empowered, dreamed up by the Ortho-Morms who run the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Controls.  They claim they're just trying to stop teenage drinking, but in reality it's a slam campaign aimed straight at Gentiles and Jack Mormons.  An honest rendering of their ad campaign is, "If your child so much as LOOKS at booze, he'll turn into a Reaver!"  (If you don't know what that means, do yourself a favor and plug into Firefly.

The other is the Feed the Pig campaign, reminding people, especially young people, that they need to save for a rainy day and retirement.  It's condescending as all Hell, and it gives no consideration to the lack of both affordable housing and living-wage jobs.  It's another "You are insufficiently righteous, otherwise you wouldn't have this problem" load of shit.  The revolution needs to start soon, and it needs to start by fire-bombing the Republican Legislative Caucus.

And speaking of particularly Utah perversions...

...how about the Legislature? The Rethuglicans railroaded an omnibus education bill last session that had as many ingredients as fruitcake. Now a citizen group is filing a suit challenging the constitutionality of that suit because, hey, the State Constitution has a single-subject requirement. And Greg Curtis, Speaker of the House and point-whore for his law firm's lobbying efforts, is pissed. He thinks it's an invasion of the Legislature's authority for the courts to interpret the Constitution. These assclown Norsefires are never going to get that checks-and-balances thing or that it's the courts' job to interpret the Constitution. No, they're rich, white, Mormon patriarchs, and they can run anything better than you. Including your own life.
