    No, but it did mention that he "put himself through byu." I was blown away, I have never met anyone who didn't have their parents pay for school.

      Are those two really the same?

        Peace corp isn't code for being a member of the state's largest church

          I'm fine with that. Politicians from humble roots always play that card; it gives them some degree of credibility and often separates them from their opponents. In this case especially so.

            See, that's the reason I'm not going to mention my mission when I run for political office. Too many questions I wouldn't want to answer.

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              I blame Lincoln for the "I did things without help" attitude that politicians have. What a jerk.

              • I put myself through the U - college and law school. Of course, it was one the best bargains I ever got - law school tuition then was $500 a semester. So I guess I can't crow about it too much.

                  Have you ever seriously considered a run for office?

                    Nope. I've worked on lots of campaigns, though, and seeing what's required of the candidate has made me happy I don't have that desire. I could never get elected anyway.

                      Close enough, in my mind. However, I don't want to get into it with you. So if you insist, I will say it was a bad comparison.

                          You promised never to bring that up.

                            I didn't know that shaking a gumball machine in order to get two gumballs for the price of one is considered a crime of passion.

                              I would trust him more if he was never AP because his MP never trusted him.
