Jack Thompson Seeks Refuge Amongst Utah Extremists!
I can't tell if this is supposed to be horror or comedy, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie before. And it sucked then:

Jack Thompson Vents His Spleen in the Deseret News

Jack Thompson Finds Sucker to Sponsor His Bill in Utah

Not freakin' again. Jack Thompson was disbarred over - among other things - making false statements in tribunals and professional misconduct. In other words, the court system has determined that he is a liar and all-around douchebag.

I guess he's right at home hanging out with politians and nutcase extremists.

We'll see how far Rep. Mike Morley can carry this sack of toxic manure before the bottom falls out and covers him with stink.

Can I just say for the record, as a Utahn - most of us aren't that freaky. At least not in that way. Yeah, in general we're a pretty conservative state - but outliers like the Eagle Forum folks are out there even for Utah.

I personally have a lot of respect for our AG, Mark Shurtleff - who has himself picketed a local videogame company (where some friends of mine have worked) and protested violent videogames. He has expressed that he feels it is his right and responsibility as a citizen - but he also feels that what has come out so far in terms of legislation against videogames has been unconstitutional and unenforceable, and has indicated (at least to my ears) that he feels it is a responsibility that belongs in the hands of parents, not the government.

But of course, disbarred-lawyers and authors with political aspirations can't use THAT as a platform to further their careers and get rich.

Hat tip to GamePolitics for the heads-up.
