There’s a lot of talk in Salt Lake City right now because of the Presidential visit; and it somehow became an excuse for Utah citizens to act like crazy people. When I heard that there would be a “President Bush Appreciation Rally” I knew I had to go. Because I knew they would be the most crazy.

Once we got to Washington Square, SML pinched his face together as though a port-a-potty had exploded and said multiple times, “Everyone here is crazy” and then made his way over to sign-holder to let him know that he spelled “Al-Qaeda” wrong. I retreated to the south side of the square since I felt embarrassed and couldn’t think of a moment when SML has lived up to his “non-confrontational” adjective that he gives himself.

Some of the signs at the rally said things like, “Give WAR a chance” and “Utahn’s love Bush.” It makes me sad that the United States is at war and even more sad that Shaw is leaving soon to go to Iraq. I think there should be some kind of clause against Shaw going over there and it could read something like, “Ken says hell no.”

But I’m really proud of Shaw and all of the troops over there; because if I had to go over there I would certainly pee my pants and bury my head in the ground.
