Through The Parody Lense?
Let's see....blaster worm, anti-blaster worm, SoBig.e virus, Northeast blackout, CA recall circus....remind me again exactly when The Onion stopped being satire and started actual news reporting?

Thank You, California!
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank California for taking the heat and focus off of Utah. We are the butt of jokes about the Olympic bidding scandal, the Tom Green polygamy trial, the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping with it's fanatic religious overtones, the ass-clowns in Virgin that voted in a law requiring gun ownership of all residents, and the moronic LaVerkin town council that declared the town to be a U.N. Free Zone.

But now with the recall vote of Gray Davis, the focus is on the ever-goofy CA politics and the raftload of potential candidates, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ariana Huffington, and Gary Coleman (yes, *that* Gary Coleman!)

Once again, the state of Utah thanks you.
