Here is my entry for JM Bell's contest to remake the Utah Republican Party button in a more realistic fashion:

My hometown does it again

I certainly am not going to have my precious (a.k.a Signifying nothing) become derivative of my home town, and its many problems, but here we go again: Salt Blog: The Daily Feed From City Weekly: Obama Sock Monkeys: Racist or Just Cuddly?

So I have to put up with Chris Buttars and that shit?

Christ.

That's it: everyone out. I and my family were there first. You lot get the hell out.

Smack down

If you are wondering why comment moderation has been turned on it was because I had to lay the smackdown on a racist commenter on the previous post. I immediately deleted his or her insensitive comment. All I have to say is if you are in my house you play by my rules. I had variations on the theme that I could have written, of course, and the best of them was "Hey ditto-head racist: get the fuck off my lawn."

It was easier just to delete the comment.

"We don't support Chris Buttars Petition"

You might want to go sign the We don't support Chris Buttars Petition given that according to Utah political blogger Bob Aagard there is a pro-Buttars Eagle Forum petition out there.

Update 7:44 pm, the same: petition signer #59 left this comment:

59.

Unless you are citizens of West Jordan

90702

your arrongant opinions are irrelavant !!

While I don't live there now, considering my ancestors pretty much founded the town, does that give me extra-cred in voting?

Obviously #59, a resident of Artesia, California, doesn't understand freedom of speech. Just because a person is not your elected representative, does not mean you cannot sound off about that person and their scurrilous behavior. Then again, #59, doesn't seem to have any problem with mouthing off about Utah politics from his or her wannabe Orange County home.

Funny, that.
