What's really important is why this story hasn't yet shown up on SLOG today.

Will Dan Savage stop the evil Islamofascist Rachael Ray before she throws an atomic Triscuit cracker into the Columbia Tower, murdering thousands in order to quench her insatiable lust for Homemaking Queen supremacy? Quickly, Dan Dare! Time is running out!

"Video Of Living, Breathing Space Alien Said To Be Authentic A stunning video that supposedly shows a living, breathing space alien -- peering through a window at night -- will be shown to the news media tomorrow."

Clearly we are not dealing with a real news outlet.

"Construction Workers Kick And Spray Paint Kitten"

"Sex Abuse Suspect Wanted For Touching Girl At Wal Mart"

"Video Of Living, Breathing Space Alien Said To Be Authentic"

"President Bush Meets LDS Church Leader Before Leaving"

I took it to be a reflection of the state of Utah in general, not the news station per se.

I don't think anyone should be allowed to marry in Utah, or do anything else in that state. I think Utah should be cleared out and made off limits for human habitation.

I draw the line there.

That said, my youngest sister is living there, and if she (hah) decided to turn gay, I'd just help her get married in BC or CA ...

i didn't believe the calendar was real, but google reveals that it is, so i've posted the link to the online store for purchase. but what's even more unbelievable is that the website also sells t-shirts that bear the caption ' i heart mormon boys' and they're available in mens sizes..and i'm so gettin one.
oh.. there are also ones that bear the caption ' lots of love' and picture a man shadow figure flanked by six shadow wives and is available in 'celestial white and bringham blue'
