Is Hatch a Mormon or a crypto Satanist?

Also as it happens I saw that WIERD Temple downtown there, and asked "Sister Johnson" if she really believed God was a guy kicked back in a Laz-Z-Boy on the planet Kolab. She could not tell me decisely that this was not the case.
Is Hatch a Mormon?
Surely you jest. Anyone in any office in Utah is a Mormon. And most of the profs at the universities there. Good luck trying to buy a beer, BTW. If they didn't own Utah, they would be firebombed faster than you can say Janet Reno. They only got to own Utah because they Judased their own religious beliefs (polygamy) to suck up to the rest of the (puritan-based) country. I have no beef with anyone practicing their mental illnesses privately, but when they use the violence of the State to coerce others, they need killing. --- Reminds me of when a sociologist was interviewing a southern farmer: Why do you think the murder rate is higher in the south? I guess more southerners need killin'. as told by Aaron Evans

I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Salt Lake City ten years ago that not only was it no trouble to get a drink, it was also no trouble to get espresso, which is my usual vice - the Nordstrom's in the mall had their little stand out front. It's apparently more trouble to get liquor up in ski country. I've also found it was less trouble to get a beer and _dinner_ late at night than in much of California, though perhaps they have rules requiring bars to also be restaurants. (~midnight, about 6 blocks from the temple.) The catch was that they were also less fascist about smoking in bars, so I had to sit off at the less-crowded end of the bar rather than near the TV with most of the other gentiles.

I was in Salt Lake City just after the Olympics (and during the Paralympics) last year and, like you, didn't have any problem getting a beer with dinner. But late at night? Everything seemed to close around 10-11 pm. See: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/winter-paralympics-2002.html -Declan
