Pretty cool gesture by former Ute Sealver Siliga.

Count me among those not surprised that a Ute is eating at Applebees, and in the bar area no less.

I love hearing about things like this.

I bet that Helen Radkey chick is looking for ways to prove it wasn't really that good of tip.

I'm convinced she tries to get people to submit names that shouldn't be on temple work list, so she can play gotcha.

It escapes me why anyone outside of the LDS religion cares what names are used. They’re dead and they think we’re wrong. Who cares?

Exactly. And to dedicate your life to keeping tabs on the names that are submitted?

[Green Monstah]

I actually understand in the case of Jews. Jewish communities exist today because their ancestors fought against assimilation and forced conversion.

I like this quote from Gandhi's grandson when he learned his grandfather had temple rites performed:

"My grandfather always believed in respecting all the religions," Gandhi said. "When anyone asked him in his lifetime which religion he believed in, he said, 'I'm a Hindu, I'm a Christian, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Buddhist, I'm everything, So in that spirit, I think he'd now say he's a Mormon, too."

I had this conversation with a friend of mine who didn't like that. The offensive misconception is that we count them as Mormons once the work is done- I see how other religious sects might take exception to that. I explained that 1. Since we believe everybody must have these ordinances to be saved 2. Everybody must at least have a chance to accept them or not and 3. We don't believe these people are sleeping, but are awake and able to say yes or no to the teachings and ordinances- we aren't forcefully dunking them but rather presenting them the option. That explanation seemed to calm him down if not confuse him.

No kidding. Twitter proved her white persecution complex was right all along.

For those of us who practice law but who could not survive a federal judiciary confirmation hearing, isn't this grounds for the prosecutors to be disbarred?

Unreal. I don't disagree with the judge's decision, I just can't believe this got flubbed so ridiculously by the US Attorney's Office.
