If at First You Don't Succeed...

Republican activist Mark Towner blamed me for blowing up his planned Pirates of the Caribbean-themed fund-raiser for Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. He was a good sport about it, but was disappointed that Shurtleff deep-sixed his idea after I questioned one part of the fund-raiser: the wench auction. Shurtleff quickly called me to let me know he never OK'd a wench auction.

But Towner went back to the drawing board and has come up with a Shurtleff-approved event for Republican delegates and their families. It will not be a fund-raiser, but just a party for the delegates, including a free screening of the movie at the Jordan Commons Complex at 5:30.The party will start at 3:30 and delegates and their families are invited to attend in pirate costumes. Senate President John Valentine will be there, dressed as "Long John Valentine."The event is planned as a convention-eve gala, with the organizing convention convening Saturday.

Cheers,Paul Rolly
