PC trumps MAC at the Capitol
Last week, the Tribune reported that the Lieutenant Governor's website was in violation of state reporting law failing to post financial disclosures of contributions to politicians.

You'll be relieved to know the records are mostly back on line. Owners of Windows computers with a recent version of Explorer, at least, can access the public files. But even then, it seems the search functions aren't available anymore — so helpful in figuring out who owns what politician.

Unfortunately, 20 percent of the public — MacIntosh users — can't use the website at all. Conveniently, that group includes the Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune, which are Mac-based operations.

Awwwww, you poor baby.

Maybe you could spend the time you won't be searching on a MAC to finding a new job.

Bill Gates is a victim of gay porn.

This is more of the policy of exclusivity in Utah. They suck the GOP's dick so hard that they wouldn't dream of using a non proprietary protocol like html.

Instead of springing drug addicts like Forte, Hatch should be looking into the conflict of interest of Bill Gate's dad's lobbying firm and Jack Abramoff.
