The Salt Lake Tribune

Correction! The Tribune's political team tells me that in the last Legislature, Sen. Scott McCoy, D-Salt Lake, and Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, in a laudable bi-partisan effort, passed SB167, giving voters the right to drink on election day.

This will comfort my reader King, who thought that booze is still off limits, at least until the polls close:
Why, then, aren't they closed every business day between now and November 4? People are voting. Many people at designated voting places. Shame. For Shame!
This could swing Hughes' hotly contested race as liberal Democrats, needing liquid courage to face the voting machines in Draper, split their vote for him in gratitude.

Shee-it! Thanks for reminding me: I better have a reserve growler of Wasatch Devistator on hand for Tuesday. What better way to watch the results for president from the reddest of the red.

I've been wondering where Tom Barberi ended up after all of these years. Now I know. He shaved his head, grew a beard, dyed it white, and is now blogging for the Tribune. Quite the fall from grace there, Tom. You went from a couple hundred malcontent listeners to a dozen amused but unimpressed readers. What a way to transition into retirement.
