Tattoos, ponytails and tort reform
As an erstwhile regular at punk-rock gigs, Salt Lake County Councilman Joe Hatch likes to let his rebel yell.
He caught the Ramones in college -- in Logan!?! -- and hopped a plane this summer to London to catch Patti Smith.
In between, Hatch did become an attorney, albeit for labor. And he occasionally flies his black leather, including the night a year ago when he jousted infamously with District Attorney David Yocom.
His only regret: never seeing The Clash -- coincidentally one of Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.'s favorite bands -- play live.
So perhaps it was no surprise when Hatch showed up for recent budget hearings sporting stubble that appeared to be growing since The Who concert days after the election, which he attended.
"The election's over," Hatch told colleagues who razzed him for the rough look. "I'm getting tattoos, an ear piercing and a ponytail."
Probably wouldn't matter, seeing as Hatch slam-danced his GOP foe with 70 percent of the vote in their Salt Lake City district.
Republicans dismissed the display as anti-Orrin.
"The other Hatch," one lamented.
"Yeah," Hatch perked up, proudly. "The other Hatch."

Dear Polyg Hater Wench:
the polyg hater wench won't let anyone post comments so i am going to start doing it here:
1. Liberal trendy wenches and the like hate polygs because the libs kill their babies and take anti depressants. It makes them sad to see these wonderful young ladies have large, happy families.
2. "Educated woman" now means one who is willing to kill their baby so they can take that river trip down by moab.
3. the wedding vows cited by the polyg hater blog are beautiful and pure and decent in every regard. This is in sharp contrast to the new educated woman who si filled with satanic hate against god and men.
Give it up plural life woman and take the plunge. Just think how happy you will be to be under the thumb of a man who can keep 23 women smiling simultaneously.
Go Dano.
What, exactly, is wrong with being a labor lawyer, Derek?
Nothing is wrong with it and Derek didn't say anything was wrong with it. He was contrasting two seemingly opposing lifestyles. Duh.
al‧be‧it /ɔlˈbiɪt/
–conjunction
although; even if.
al·be·it (ôl-bt, l-)
conj.
Even though; although; notwithstanding: clear albeit cold weather.
Sorry, DJ, I think your definition of "albeit" is different than the dictionary's.
What the hell are you talking about Bell.
He was being sarcastic; albeit is perfectly acceptable.
"Hatch did become an attorney, albeit (even though) for labor."
Main Entry: al·be·it
Pronunciation: ol-'bE-&t, al-
Function: conjunction
Etymology: Middle English, literally, all though it be
: conceding the fact that : even though : ALTHOUGH
The point is supposed to be that becoming a _lawyer_ is bad, but _on the other hand_ at least he's doing it for labor, which makes it better. Don't you see that?
