FYI, the link to The Spectrum story is broken/expired. (“Sounds like he needs to walk down the hall and talk to Jim Matheson.”) Tells me “Error: Invalid story key”.

Can’t say that I’m surprised that this is suddenly back on track after elections are over. Sweep as many things that can be used against incumbents under the rug as you can, we’ll resurrect them as soon as we’re re-elected!

[...] The “Great Stopper” has not weighed in on the new timetable for Divine Strake. Make sure you let him know how you feel about the military messing around in the desert while there are still troops lacking armor in the field. [...]

What’s at issue is that the hype given DIVINE STRAKE actually makes the test sound more significant than it is. A whole 32′ by 36′ filled with Ammonimun Nitrate and diesel fuel is…well……CHEAP! It’s the least expensive explosive available for such a test that cost…WHAT? $23,000,000 of tax payers money? Orin Hatch are getting some of this? Are your buddies in the nitrate business cutting you in? Who else?

Now, find the vendors and you will find friends of GWB receiving about a $20,000,000+ bundle of payola from his executive order. That’s the REAL story about DIVINE STRAKE. There’s nothing “divine” about it…unless you happen to be the vendor.

Let them do a 1/20 scale model of the 700 ton version and there won’t be any interests, unless it’s maybe a few thousand here and there to buy some of Senator Hatch’s left over music albums.

I find it reprehensible that Sen. Hatch has renegged on his word. In the meeting with the St. George downwinders in April, Hatch said if he had any concerns about the safety of the test, he would exercise his ‘great stopper’ powers to cancel Divine Strake. But by early August, when nary a soil sample has been taken or tested to quash concerns for the test’s safety, Hatch goes ahead to meet Teneglia to express concerns on behalf of the ‘unique sensitivites’ of Utahns and pleads with Jim to ‘move’ the test. A day later, the judge presiding over the downwinder lawsuit says he has received no documents about the consideration of other locations by DTRA.

Oh, I am SO printing this out for my mom to read. She doesn’t get “the internets,” lives on the East Bench, and think Hatch is a big boob.

[...] I returned yesterday from hitting my 16th Democratic county convention. The Deseret News covered my stop in Washington County. People are fighting mad over Divine Strake, as am I. [...]

Reminds me of the time the classy senator said of my college class. They were “so full of *@$# that I had to hike up my boots to wade through it”. I guess that’s how they talk in cow country. What a great host. Thanks for the post.

Let’s see, first we have the “Decider,” and now we have the “Stopper.” Soon, however, very soon, we will have the “Indicted” – ala Karl Rove.

SeÃ±or Hatch must be losing his memory in his old, old, OLD age!!! HAHA!!! I even saw him shake hands with you on TV!! Who’s this guy trying to prove? Plus, using cuss words to prove he’s a better choice for Utah? Doesn’t he remember how Utahns are at all?? My word!
