Utah Policy’s Bryan Schott argues that Democrats call for a resolution to study working with the federal government to protect the Greater Canyonlands area of southern Utah only hurts the party’s image with rural voters.
“The lack of rural voices among Utah’s Democrats has skewed their discussion. There’s nobody counterbalancing the strong advocacy for environmental protection with the perspective of those who make their living by ranching or farming or energy development. It’s a worthy debate. It’s an argument where Democrats could find a foothold if they could balance the two messages. Right now, it’s tilted in one direction and it’s something most rural Utahns don’t want to listen to.”—Salt Lake City Weekly
The Long View
Wired interviews Omar Hammami, a hunted American Jihadist, via Twitter.
“Hammami is a complex figure. He’s never attacked his fellow Americans. He reflects on his time in America with fondness. He jokes about porn and barbecue on Twitter with his unlikely buddies. And he’s chipping away at the legitimacy of America’s top adversary in east Africa one Tweet at the time, all while sunnily proclaiming his undying antagonism for his homeland. “A walking contradiction from massively different backgrounds” is how Hammami once described himself, “who is seriously passionate about what he believes in, but feels he has to go about doing it while laughing at almost everything along the way.”—Wired
