So, wait ... We're counting on the same idiots who created this problem (city and county government officials) to solve the problem? Yeah, good luck with that.

Opinion, July 20, "Slogans and Mottos"
My all time favorite is Clara Peller for Wendy's: "Where's the beef?"

I think [Fox News' new motto] is even more Orwellian than the old one.

It is "most watched." Why would viewers watch something they don't trust?

Most one-sided.

The Ocho, July 20, "Eight potential downtown sites for the relocation of the State Liquor Store on 400 South"
Library? Not too far fetched if you live in Vancouver, B.C. Though smaller in scale, the architecture of the SLC library reminds me of Vancouver's Library Square.

You know what would be a great location for a liquor store? Every single grocery store, convenience store, gas station and anywhere else a private entrepreneur wants to open one. Those would be perfect.

I say we try something radical and different. We get rid of the DABC and the liquor stores and let normal everyday grocery and convenience stores sell this stuff. It might the easiest and simplest solution out there.

I got a better idea, Utah. Sell wine and beer in the store like the most of the nation, and then just have small liquor stores so people can open small businesses. WTF!

I don't know, but it will probably end up in a much better spot than the new homeless shelters. Because people care way more about access to alcohol than they do about giving people who are homeless access to services.

Don't Call It Health Insurance
According to Orrin Hatch and the Republican supporters of the GOP health care bill, it is intended to save money, increase choice and include more people. Aside from the logical impossibility of accomplishing these mutually exclusive goals, the GOP health care bill reflects a deep misunderstanding of U.S. health care policy. To call it "health insurance" would be like calling the water bill "thirst insurance." Cutting access to health care and limiting coverage for elderly and poor people so that the wealthy and young can enjoy a tax cut would be the equivalent of cutting the water supply to the poor and elderly of the U.S. so that the privileged can drink.
