A second round of toasts!
Heads up, Gov. Huntsman, hospitality and tourist industries, ski resorts, DABC, news media and lounge lizards everywhere — you missed the point, according to a Deseret News story.The big news last week was not the elimination of Utah's onerous club memberships to get a cocktail, says Senate President Mike Waddoups. No, the real story of the new law is about stiffer DUI enforcement.
I haven't heard a single person talk about taking away drivers' licenses or confiscating cars. People ought to know that. That's important.Note taken.
And if you think the DNews story was about stiffer DUI laws, then again you've missed the point, you poor benighted weasels. Reporter Lisa Riley Roche's article contains two bits of real news:
• Waddoups was snubbed. The Guv didn't invite him to the festive bill signing. Huntsman, Rep. Greg Hughes and Sen. (and ousted Senate prez) John Valentine gathered at the New Yorker club to give each other knuckle bumps in celebration of their "modernizing" Utah's liquor laws. If you remember, the Legislative session opened with Waddoups attacking Huntsman's quest to get rid of clubs.**Then Republican leaders apparently got word the LDS church was OK with the change.
• Riley Roche has gotten the DNews' new "tone." The story is tailored to what Editor Joe Cannon thinks Mormons want to read.
