      That was quick; up 7 percentage points since morning.

      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      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."

          But how can you really know Jesus if you can't even spell His name?

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    There were a few that were tough, but I too managed to pull off a perfect score.

                    Reminds me of the testing center. As I was finishing up a particular exam, I was pretty confident of getting 100%. I was aware that the test results they give for scantron tests included a congratulatory statement at the bottom for a "nice" test score if 90% or above. I wondered if my 100% would garner a "perfect" designation. I was disappointed to see that they thought 100% was only "nice" and not "perfect."

                    I shared my disappointment with a member of my ward who I saw on the walk back to our apartments. She was not amused, saying she'd never gotten even the "nice" designation.

                      CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER on Donald Trump:


                      This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an eleven-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about ten years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value — indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and inflates him.

                        Edit: more from the article.

                        The dynamic of this election is obvious. As in 1980, the status quo candidate for a failed administration is running against an outsider. The stay-the-course candidate plays his/her only available card — charging that the outsider is dangerously out of the mainstream and temperamentally unfit to command the nation. In 1980, Reagan had to do just one thing: pass the threshold test for acceptability. He won that election because he did, especially in the debate with Jimmy Carter in which Reagan showed himself to be genial, self-assured, and, above all, nonthreatening. You may not like all his policies, but you could safely entrust the nation to him.
                        This is what is so maddening about this election. All the Republicans had to do was nominate someone not crazy and they win this year. McCain would win, Mitt would win, any of the other primary candidates this year besides Carson probably would win. But we nominated the only guy more unacceptable than Hillary.

                          This is so spot on.

                          Liberal pundits write viciously about Trump. But they wrote viciously about Romney, McCain, Bush... and they wonder why people outside their circle stopped listening.

                              Plus, there is a fairly long tradition of this sort of attck in Presidential politics.


                              Things got ugly fast. Jefferson's camp accused President Adams of having a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."

                              In return, Adams' men called Vice President Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."

                              As the slurs piled on, Adams was labeled a fool, a hypocrite, a criminal, and a tyrant, while Jefferson was branded a weakling, an atheist, a libertine, and a coward. See 8 great campaign slogans »

                              Even Martha Washington succumbed to the propaganda, telling a clergyman that Jefferson was "one of the most detestable of mankind."
                              Negative campaigning in America was sired by two lifelong friends, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Back in 1776, the dynamic duo combined powers to help claim America's independence, and they had nothing but love and respect for one another. But by 1800, party politics had so distanced the pair that, for the first and last time in U.S. history, a president found himself running against his vice president.

                                It seems like everyone is writing a "left crying wolf" article these days. By my recollection Jonah Goldberg wrote the first one over a week ago.
