Expect fantastic inauguration fireworks

No matter how closely (read: tediously) the media in Utah covers our endless supply of home-grown wingnuts, you're going to miss one once in a while. This time it's the "Parowan Prophet."

Fortunately, the LATimes was there to backstop us on the crazy assed predictions of Leland Freeborn, who calls himself the Parowan Prophet. In a nutshell: riots, commies and nuclear holocaust.

In other words, the Utah Special — hold the plague of frogs. Freeborn told the LATimes:
[Obama] will not be the next president. I said on my home page in August that if he lost to expect to see the 'riots' that 2 Peter 2:13 tells us about. He didn't lose. But the story is not finished yet. I still think they may begin the riots before Christmas 2008.
Then, comes the the "Soviet old guard," and nukes and 100 million dead.

The LATimes, thank god, tracked the old seer down and gave him an ocean of ink and electrons to spout gibberish. On the upside, Freeborn's regular predictions of The End in the past have been duds.

Yes leave it reliable sources like the LA Times and the SLTrib to bring us the interminds of whackos like Parowan Prophet!

Damn Trib can't even print a timely Utah High School All State Team...but they can sure as hell find the time to report this bullshit!

Gro the fuck up SLTRIB!

All, and I mean all things, aside, that is one dazzlingly beautiful photograph. That is ALL other considerations ABSOLUTELY, aside.

Yes the Salt Lake Trib like the New York Times prints "all the news that's not fit to print" and like the LA Times has its own agenda.

I think the guy is wacky too, but for some reason I have had a feeling that Obama will not make it to be president.

I didn't vote for him, and don't like all of his views but we do have this Chicago investigation and you never know if it will implicate him
