4 pre-Iowa campaign blunders
Jan 3rd
Is lack of sleep to blame for the major campaign blunders prior to the Iowa caucas.
Fatigue factor gives equal time to candidates
“I know this is an unusual theory, but I do believe sleep deprivation has a lot to do with some of the edginess of Washington today.” Bill Clinton
The PR Teams of the following candidates have blamed lack of sleep on the following comments.
No. 4 – “We had 300 people outside, literally freezing to death.” – Hillary Clinton (Literally?)
No. 3 – “I won’t remember Iowans.” – Mitt Romney (His wife nudged him . . . “forget Iowans.”
No. 2 – Barack Obama told a crowd in Kansas that 10,000 people died in a tornado. (12 did).
No. 1 – Mike Huckabee apologized for the killing of Pakistan’s Prime Minister. (He should have offered his sympathies unless he is a murderer).

They tell me I think like Ron Paul.

Eery photos of the sun
Dec 27th
I went snowmobiling on Christmas Eve with my friend and business partner Kevin Olsen and snapped a few photos of the sun that turned out pretty eery. There was a small amount of cloud cover and then a fog blew up the canyon and sandwiched the sun in the photo.
Camera: iPhone.
Time of Day: 10:30 a.m.
Location: Mountains East of Bountiful, Utah.
Digg is dead . . .
Dec 19th
I think many people have been speaking the words “Digg is dead,” but the movement only marches forward when someone with a loud voice says it. Three cheers for CopyBlogger who said it to his audience of 29,000 subscribers. I digg this.
