I got most, if not all of my knowledge of what goes on at the Capitol from School House Rock's "I'm just a bill". Really.
As far as that goes, there are two things you should never see being made - Sausage and Laws.
But lately, there's something else you gotta wonder about. How did this:

So how did Chris Buttars come to this juncture? I'll let Jon Armstrong - one of my favorite bloggers at blurbomat.com - tell it in his own words:
Add Homophobe to Racist - February 20, 2009
Utah’s Republican Governor Enjoys Coddling Racist Senator - February 15, 2008
...and from the Deseret News (et al):
Amended evolution measure dies in Utah House - February 28, 2006
Buttars want to prohibit gay clubs - December 15, 2005
Utah Legislators Edit Gay Marriage Ban - February 2, 2005
At issue is not what Buttars speaks about; rather it is about how he speaks. For that, Senator Buttars needs to STFU.
