What would Buttars say?
Love -- and laughter -- was in the air at a House committee Wednesday.

Rep. Mark Walker called gun-rights lobbyist Clark Aposhian "either my No. 1 or No. 2 constituent."

Aposhian quickly reciprocated, calling Walker his "No. 1 Representative."

"That was a Snickers Bar moment," joked Rep. Paul Ray, which cracked up his fellow committee members.

Ray was referring to the Super Bowl ad where two men inadvertently kiss while eating the same candy bar. Then to show how manly they are they rip out some chest hair.

Snickers has since pulled the ad because of complaints that it was homophobic.

I didn't mind the ad at all. In fact, I thought it was pretty hot.

I hope the legislators are happy with their gun worship now, that some kid has killed and maimed almost a dozen people in Trolley Square. Yeah, we don't need no education but we sure needs us some more guns! And where were all those armed-and-ready concealed carry citizens last night? Were they too busy sucking up to the NRA? It's disgusting how the lege worships guns and bows down to the gun freaks, but it's easy to see why; guns in Utah are a substitute for penises. Since TH'CHUURRCH won't let them use the the latter, they stroke the former. Feel that hard rod in your pocket, pull that trigger and shoot out that load, Oh Yeah! Bunch of wankers.
