Well, I hope he wins.  Utah is the state that has so far refused to
extradite a man under indictment for murder in Illinois (in the
"corporate murder" case) -- the governor says the man, a wealthy
businessman, is a good citizen (read: large campaign contributor).
Thanks, Guv, you're a real champion of justice.

Aren't you glad there's a special state reserved for Utahns?  Ever
try to get a drink in Utah?  A relative tells me of visiting Salt
Lake City and seeing signs advertising $50 shoeshines.  Turns out
these are whorehouses.  Wonder what you get with a haircut.
