It's time again for my annual (i think) year in review post, where I look at what mattered (or didn't matter) in Utah Politics 2010.
It was same old,same old for the Utah Legislature, except for the fact that it started and ended with fireworks. The opening fireworks involved the Senate Majority Leader getting arrested for DUI just before the session started (and resigning just afterward). The closing fireworks came in the form of a standing ovation for a Republican Lawmaker who admitted that 25 years ago her hung out in a hot tub with an underage girl, both of them naked. And that he had payed her $150,000 and she wanted more. However, unlike the TSA, no junk touching happened, and that was his story. He resigned after saying he wouldn't resign.
2010 also saw the Utah Republicans and Utah Democrats holding their conventions on the same day at opposite ends of the Salt Palace. As they are prone to do, Republicans blamed the Democrats. Democrats didn't point out that they've held their convention at the south end of the Slat Palace every even-numbered year (and one odd-numbered year) since at least 2004, because facts have a liberal bias, and the Utah Democratic Party doesn't want to be accused of a liberal bias.
The Demopublican (or was it the Republocratic) Convention had it's share of fireworks as well. On the Northwest corner of the building, Bob Bennett was ousted for looking like Montgomery Burns. Not even Mitt Romney could save Bennett. Instead, they delegates sent political bridesmaid Tim Bridgewater and Mike "I'm not crazy" Lee in a primary. On the south side of the building, delegates forced Jim Matheson into admitting he has a D behind his name. Lee and Matheson won their primaries.
Nationally, the Tea Party stormed onto the scene, with quality candidates like the wife of the
head of WWE and someone who had declare that she wasn't really a witch. Meanwhile, Utahns wondered what the big deal about Tea Partiers was. After all, we've been calling them "Utah Republicans" for years.
The LDS Church declared that it's not right to deny housing to someone just because they are homosexual, and did not oppose legislation outlawing such discrimination. Salt Lake City and nine other cities passed that legislation. The Utah Legislature, thinking they know more than the Bretheren, oppose the legislation.
In January, it was confirmed that is politics was college football, The Governor's race debates would be called the Ambien Bowl. However, Peter Corroon came out swinging, and landing, punches on the accidental Governor. Unfortunately, Corroon went from swinging some good jabs to swinging the same uppercut 13,000,000 times. And in the end, what was expected to be a close-for-Utah race was not even the closest statewide race.
The closest statewide race came for US Senate. Businessman Sam Granato rode his platform of small-business tax reform, Mr Mac suits, and calling his opponent crazy to a 29-point defeat.
Well, that's all that I want to remember about 2010. I'm opening the escape hatch and going down the slide into 2011. Have fun!

2006: The Year Gay Mexicans form Venezuela came to burn our flags and infect our spinich with 4 oz of shampoo while shooting our kids in school
It's time for my annual Year In Review, my favorite post of the year to write.
January
We waited, hoped, and prayed that some Miners in Pennsylvania were OK. Chris Buttars Intelligently Designs legislation. Stardust Crashed into the West Desert.
Larry H Miller pens a book: If I banned Brokeback Mountain, this is how I'd ban it.
February
The Utah Legislature said gifts from Lobbyists were good, Large School Districts were bad, and bullys were good and bad. People got upset about commetns made at a funeral that reflected the person's view on events. The Olympics were in danger of not happening until SuperMitt came in to save them.
Dick Cheney wrote a book: If I shot my friend, this is how I'd do it.
March
Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar. The World Baseball Classic is played, and nobody notices. The largest protest rally in Utah doesn't involve Rocky Anderson. I started to get mad. Pete Ashdown and Orrin Hatch faced off at high noon.
The LDS Church wrote a book: If Mormons could be Democrats, this is what they'd look like.
April
Zacarias Moussaoui is sentenced to life in Prison. Osama still not found. DailyKos came to town. The U had Impact Day, and Salt Lake Dems met. Everyone learned the meaning of Donkey Grave. Orrin Hatch learned of Global Warming from Michael Chichton. Orrin Hatch, Pete Ashdown, the LDS Church, and Rocky Anderson all agreed on something.
I wrote a book: If I disliked the way Megan Risbon ran things, this is what I'd say.
May
Nutcakes Gathered at the Salt Palace. Orrin Hatch went to Iraq. We looked at the election of 1976. It became OK for the Government to listen to your phone, but still not OK to take your AK47.
Peter Corroon wrote a book: If I were fiscally responsible, I'd give RSL loads of money.
June
Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and 7 of his aides are killed in a U.S. air raid. Al-Qaeda in the World leader still not dead yet. Bill Gates got a charitable donation from Warren Buffet. The Devil Himself campaigned for Chris Cannon. Rocky Anderson figured out Utah's liquor laws. Orrin Hatch flipped us all off. Utah bloggers met for the first time.
The Republicans wrote a book: If we hated Marriage, this is how we'd disrespect it.
July
A frenchman fought back with a headbutt. Orrin Hatch remained a Butthead. Floyd Landis retained America's domination of France's bike race, but might have cheated. Democrats held a family reunion. Orrin Hatch used his contacts in Dubai to help a friend, doesn't use his contacts in D.C. to help someone in Utah.
Rocky Anderson wrote a book: If I wanted to stay in Salt Lake, this is how I'd work.
August
London police break up a plot to blow up planes over the Atlantic, members of the group don't even own passports. Orrin Hatch played the flipflopfippityflopflop game. George Bush came to town for RockyFest06.
I wrote annother book: If I were to almost die in Wyoming, this is how I'd like to go.
September
The Superdome Reopened. Orrin Hatch invented the hybrid car. Signs were stolen. Utah's Legislature further robbed our schoolchildren. Bob Bennet either hates Mormons or Democrats.
Mark Foley wrote a book: If I sent dirty emails, I'd send them to underage boys.
October
School shhotings were in. Google bought YouTube for a gazillion bucks. The US puts it's 300 millionth person in debt. John Kerry tries to lose annother election. Orrin Needed more Money. City Creek Center was announced.
Kim Jon Il wrote a book: If I built a nuke, this is how I'd do it.
November
Democrats, and a muslim, win nationwide, except in Utah. That KGB guy is killed after watching a Jazz Game at the newly renamed arena.
Michael Richards writes a book: If I were a racist, I wouldn't tell you N*****s
December
Tim Johnson's stroke coupld give Republicans powers in the Senate again. I became an uncle. Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein, opposites on the niceness scale, both die the same week. John McCain hates blogs. The Deseret News proves they are a part of the liberal media.

2006 Awards
OK, it's time, folks. The 2006 TWATM Awards Ceremony.
Maybe by next year, I'll come up with a name for the awards...
Best Local Blog: This was a difficult one. No one blog stood out to me. However, the one I have most enjoyed this year is tales of wit and charm. An Honorable Mention goes to Obiter Dicta by Steve, partly for his appearance on BBCRadio.
Newest Internet Addiction: YouTube. Whether it's Serious or fun, YouTube is the place to go. Besides, posting videos is easy as pie.
Best Geek Moment: This one is the toughest around. But, the winner isn't meeting fellow bloggers, introducing myself as a blogger, or anything like that. It was liveblogging at the Relay for Life event this summer from Gallavan Plaza at 3:00 AM. There are people in my Ward who give me much higher geek credentials than I deserve.
Best Moment on My Blog: This Award (really more of a shout out) Goes to a certain civics class at Taylorsville High School. During a current-events discussion, someone cited The World, According to Me as their source.
Politician of the Year: Mark Crockett. This Salt Lake County Councilman came above and beyond the call of duty, jumping party lines to be against the RSL Stadium. This, in addition to other things, increased my opinion of him the most this year.
The reason Pete Corroon didn't get it is that I would have been shocked if he took a different position, but I give him and Jenny Wilson honorable mentions in this category.
Pete Ashdown would also get an honorable mention, but I still hate to think of him as a politician.

2005 Awards
Here are my awards for 2005. Maybe by next year, I'll have a name (feel free to post name suggestions in the comments) for the awards. If you are one of the people mentioned, congratulations. You can now call yourself award-winning.
Best Local Blog: SLCSpin. Ethan has the best commentary, and the best commenters. I have probably linked to him more than anyone. And, I know he is one of my five readers....
Newest Internet Addiction: Blogshares. You can go and buy, sell, and trade "shares" in blogs. I'm just warning you: don't click the link!
Best Geek Moment: At the Utah Democratic Convention, I introduced myself to someone (Pete Ashdown) by my screen name on DailyKos.
Best Moment of this blog: It wasn't me posting the scoop about Chris Cannon's Campaign Manager, nor was it any particular thing that was written on my blog. On Crushed by Inertia, I won their "blogging the obvious" award, back before I had focus on my blog.
It then led to a joke about a movie based on me entitled "The World According to Me: the Bob Aagard Story." (They forgot my comma!) They included a quote, which will be my quote of the year. It sums up my 2005, and it was supposedly said by me:

2005 In Review
Here's my list of the most significant events of 2005, in chronological order. Thanks to Wikipedia for help.
December 2004
OK, I know that "December 2004" is, well, not in 2005, but an event that greatly impacted the year happened the last week of December. While we were all eating Christmas dinner, the tsunami was wiping out hundreds of thousands of lives. It wasn't until several days later that President Bush spoke our nation's condolences. Surely the response time to an American disaster would be quicker, right?
January 2005
President Bush took the oath of office (again), which he ignored (again). Iraq held free parlimentary elections, allowing Bush to declare victory in Iraq (again).
February 2005
North Korea declared that they do indeed have Nuclear Weapons, but they were ignored. Because we can only fight one, er, two wars at a time. Besides, Nukes are so 1960's. Iraq had Anthrax.....when we sold it to them in the 80's.
March 2005
The Republican Party further instituted their disregard for privacy, small government, and marital rights by using Terry Schiavo as a pawn. Finally, she was allowed to rest in peace. It also made for the best South Park episode ever.
April 2005
Pope John Paull II dies. For the first time in my life, the Catholics pick a new Pope. There have now been 4 Popes since Orrin Hatch was elected to the Senate.
May 2005
We found out that Mark Felt is Darth Vader. Or something like that...
June 2005
Michael Jackson was found innocent of killing OJ Simpson's wife.
July 2005
London is hit with 2 separate terrorist attacks, further proving that we are losing the War on Terror.
Hurricane Dennis hits Florida, further proving that we are losing the War on Hurricanes.
August 2005
Hurricane Katrina. Need I say more?
September 2005
It took 100 hours, but FEMA finally got food and water into New Orleans. Then, Hurricane Rita struck the region.
October 2005
Iraq votes on a referendum on the proposed Constitution, again allowing Bush to declare victory in Iraq.
Karl Rove prematurely declares victory over Fitzmas, until he is told that he's not clear yet.
November 2005
Jessica Simpson and her husband, Mr Jessica Simpson, break up. Millions are so upset that they start rioting in Paris.
December 2005
Hurricane Epsilon dies. President Bush declares victory in the War on Hurricanes. Democrats jump all over him, claiming that hurricane season will spring up again. Bill O'Reily gets upset, declaring that the Democrats are using hurricanes as a distracting to have the liberal media ignore the War on Christmas. He's just mad that he didn't think to write a book on the War on Hurricanes.
Oh, and Iraqis vote on something again. Bush declares victory again.
