Iran: A nation of bloggers from Mr.Aaron on Vimeo . Iranians are more like our revolutionary ancestors than perhaps we ourselves are. Cheney wants to bomb them . War did not always go hand-in-hand with the American flag.

The Twilight actor who played Edward, Robert Pattinson, said this of the books: When I read it ... I was convinced that Stephenie was convinced that she was Bella, and ... it was like it was a book that wasn't supposed to be published, like reading her — her sort of sexual fantasy about some — especially when she says that it was based on a dream, and it's like, "Oh, then I had a dream about this really sexy guy" and she just writes this book about it, and there's some things about Edward that are just so specific that ... I was just convinced that this woman is mad, she's completely mad , and she's in love with her own fictional creation. And I sometimes ... feel uncomfortable reading this thing, and I think a lot of people feel the same way, that it's kind of voyeuristic ... It creates this sick pleasure in a lot of ways." So that validated my opinion . Huspah. Click here for more insults to the books.

Here is the first editorial I published in the BYU paper on June 26th. I thought it was timely.

You've all seen this picture that "proves" that Obama is a Muslim: It is used to scare Americans who think your identity changes depending on what clothes you wear. These people annually crap their pants on Halloween. Well, it goes the other way too. It looks like Al Qaeda is scaring Muslims into thinking Obama's a Jew: The man wears many hats. Of course, we all know he's really a Christian. Yikes. And yet it seems like church is always so boring. But then your preacher starts talking crazy to wake everyone up. Or one of your friends asks you to try something on, someone takes a picture, and it all goes downhill from there.

Last week a BYU student wrote that war makes peace . I thought this summed up his ideas well: From Buttersafe .
