Utah political commentary with a sense of humor, more than a dash of irony, and lots of moral fiber. (Yes, I suppliment my Republican family values with Western Family Rasin Bran to find just the right balance.)

"The Funniest 15 Minutes of Your Life" (McCain & Obama)
After all the ugliness, I needed these belly laughs:
Thanks to Senators McCain and Obama, and the Catholic Dioceses of New York.
As a Republican I am admittedly biased, but I think McCain was much funnier than Obama was. One thing people often said about Reagan was that he felt comfortable in his skin. I think, based on these performances, the same can be said of McCain. Obama still seems uncertain of himself.
I am a very imperfect person. Despite this glaring reality, during my life I have tended to be rather opinionated—editorializing as if I had all the answers. (Typical blogger!) I hope, however, that I am growing in humility.
I say this because the more I have learned, the more clearly I have been able to see how little I actually know. Plus, a lifetime of personal blunders has had a way of nicely undermining my pride beyond all repair.
I now find myself having very little confidence in either my own, or anyone else’s, wisdom. There is one notable exception. I have come to have a much stronger belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and his wisdom. For me, his ways and teachings have consistently proven themselves over time to be true. He is the only one I ultimately trust—my only hope.
In my weakness, I seek to serve him, my family, and my fellow man. I also want to have some fun if possible. In that spirit, I write what I do.
To the few folks who actually read my blog, I apologize for my imperfections. I am doing the best that I can. I hope you find value in what I have to offer. God bless you.

But in all, it is admirable that these two would put politics aside, at least to some extent, to honor this man and to share in a few laughs.
I agree, my friend. Thanks for stopping by.
