Our adorable governor, Gary Herbert, lives life on the edge, or should I say the "really" edge.
He won't suspend his doomed defense of the state ban on same-sex marriage because he doesn't think that the state constitution is "really" illegal — as opposed to just illegal.
Also, I now read that he is contributing indirectly to the deaths of Utah citizens by denying critical health care to the poor because he isn't convinced that requiring a job requirement for Medicaid support is "really" illegal — as opposed to just illegal.
Perhaps his advisors should tell him these notions are really dumb.
