Nationally recognized conservative thinker and politician Alan Keyes will be speaking this Wednesday, June 21st, at the Public Library Grand Ballroom in Provo, Utah from 6:30 to 9:00pm on the subject of immigration and border control.

Alan Keyes is an electrifying orator and an excellent thinker.

In addition to our annual celebration of the nativity of Jesus the Christ, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are recognizing the 200th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith this year. He was born 200 years ago today in the town of Sharon, Vermont.

I recently ran across a fascinating biographical article from the Minneapolis StarTribune about a man named Rutherford Aris. The article is almost three months old, but I think it is still worth linking to.
