Worth Passing On . . .

By LaVarr Webb

--Best quote of the day: Congressman Rob Bishop, responding to Pres. Obama's speech: "It's as if for the past year I gained 60 pounds on my already overweight body, and now my new diet this year is to stay that fat and not lose any weight." He noted that Obama's pledge to freeze discretionary spending comes after that portion of the budget increased from $262 billion to $699 billion last year.

--Best thing to look forward to regarding the Legislature: When it's over, spring will be here.
