I've said it before in here. Mormons are excellent liars. It comes from growing up in an organization that has impossibly high standards to live but you are expected to live them. Then you are grilled in personal interviews whether you are living these standards and everyone lies and says they are and you get rewarded for lying. If you tell the truth of what you are really doing in secret and what you really think about the church and it leaders you get punished and shamed. So actually in Mormonism you get rewarded to lie as long as what you say is approved by the church. Basically it breeds con artists. Why do you think there are so many ponzi schemes in Utah? Also a ton of Prozac use. The Mormon lifestyle is a real pressure cooker that makes people crack up.
Mitt is just Mo-Fucked. That's all.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Lawrence O'Donnell made an interesting observation..... he said that Santorum talking about his immigrant grandfather in his speech was really a backhanded slap at Romney. Because Romney's grandfather was also an immigrant, from Mexico.
No, he wasn't Latino, but he was born there because HIS father was a Mormon who fled the US with his multiple wives when the US made polygamy illegal. I had assumed there probably was some polygamy in Romney's family (as there is in any old-school Mormon family) but I never realized his great grandpa actually left the country over it.
I find it hard to believe Santorum is smart enough to come up with a clever smackdown like that, however.Eat Us And Smile

It's sort of a mafia thing. The brotherhood is above all else including everyone else. This is never publicly admitted but perfectly understood within the circle and that bond does have it's advantages. Basically, Mormonism is just another mafia but they just don't kill as many people. The killing pretty much ended when the US Government tossed Brigham Young off his territorial governor seat and went after the polygamists. Before that there actually was a secret police, killings, and massacres. Look up the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
Now the church has gone more corporate in the last 25 years. It wants to be mainstream and the big danger is the current leadership will align itself with people of power as long as they are shown some attention. The Mormon church no longer holds the power it used to in the west and so it's hitched it's wagon to the neocon side of the Republican party I'm afraid. Really Mormonism is no deeper than $80 billion in assets. If you put the church on the Fortune 500 it would fall in the middle. It's the Johnson and Johnson of religion. I like to call it the McDonald's of religion. All the buildings look the same and it's the same lousy tasting product worldwide. I wonder if The Church of Scientology has more money? Now I want to play some Frank Zappa.

My ancestors fled to Canada. That's why there is a large Mormon settlement in Cardston, Alberta. Others went to Chiwawa, Mexico. I tell you though, there were some hot looking Mormon chicks from Chiwawa at BYU. Not the FLDS but the type of chicks that wore bikinis by the pool. But then Steve Vai and David Lee Roth could tell you about Mormon chicks. They lined up to give those guys blow jobs when they rolled into Salt Lake City. As Dave said in his book, religious oppression creates delicious rebellion. There is a delicious seedy underside to it all and Mitt probably rolled in it a few times himself.
always found that amusing.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

Aberdeen seems to be a common Scottish name. There's Aberdeen, Washington (Kurt Cobain's hometown), Aberdeen, Idaho (big potato growing town), and even a section of Hong Kong was named Aberdeen.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Brethren and Sistren,
First and foremost, Sanitarium ain't gonna win another COCKUS™©®.
Second and deucemost, we absolutely NEED to bomb Iran AND Utah. These fucking extremist fuckers are gonna be the death of us all.
Third and thricemost, I don't trust a guy whose kids look like TEST TUBE IN VITRO™©® experiments. The Inbreeding™©® was strong in the Robominationey!
Fourth and quadmost, I'm really pulling (my unit) for Bachmann, mainly because she's shown in the past to be as concerned about healthy vaginas/vaginae as I am, vaccinations notwithstanding.
Fifth and pentamost, I'll be hitting up a number of VH West Coast and European concert dates for those in those areas. Let's party!!! (p.s. my company tests for marijuana, so I'm limited to E and coke or other high-grade pharmaceuticals and HGH).
That is all.

There are a lot of places in Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand named after Scottish towns eg there are dozens of places called Hamilton but Alberta is actually named after a daughter of Queen Victoria.Comment
