Koerbers: the Brady Bunch circa 2010 ? · January 25, 2010 . You’ve got to be kidding. I mean Rick Koerber (that’s me) did apparently win the Salt Lake Tribune’s online poll for 2009 “Utahn of the Year.” (I too, would have hushed that up if I were the Salt Lake Tribune – LOL.) But the Brady Bunch? You’ve got to be joking. So, its really a funny story, but to begin with, I have to confess... Read more...
Rick Koerber, “Utahn of the Year?” · December 6, 2009 Yeah, I was chuckling when I saw the newspaper’s article, but then I got to thinking… I’d like to ask for your vote. It will only take 60 seconds and could accomplish something very interesting. Really. I’m not kidding. Let me explain.

Koerbers Divorce · November 3, 2009 Just received a call from Tom Harvey at the Salt Lake Tribune. Obviously the unquenchable desire to spread gossip about me is still growing at the Tribune. So that my friends, family, and associates can hear it from me first — rather than the most certain false perspectives and foundationless speculation likely to accompany the coming Tribune reports — I will confirm...

Brain-Off, Mouth Open: Tom Grover Misses the Point · June 29, 2009 Whenever a self-proclaimed libertarian takes the side of government over its citizens, you can bet that something sinister is underway. I can’t think of a more appropriate way to describe Tom Grover’s recent attempt of political opinionating in his piece, “Rep. Carl Wimmer scandal isn’t about Rick Koerber, it’s about the integrity of our justice system.” Mr.... Read more...
Representative Carl Wimmer: a Statement about My Friend · June 25, 2009 “I originally approached Representative Wimmer and discussed my concerns of abusive and illegal tactics used by Francine Giani’s Department because I believed that he understood the proper role of government and also agreed that every person investigated by the government deserves to be treated with fairness.

Gratitude | Standing with Friends. · May 31, 2009 Not long ago I wrote a conclusion to one of my essays, that rings so true to me today, that I thought I’d share— The only option is to choose; to make a choice when the options are clear, and the chaos and tension that accompanies conflict has not yet become overbearingly personal. I made my choice early on, when I first encountered these people. I made my choice... Read more...
Indicted. · May 27, 2009 “In the filthy howling now going on all around us, ” said an editorial in the Banner, signed”Gail Wynand” in big letters, “nobody seems to remember that Howard Roark surrendered himself of his own free will. If he blew up that building—did he have to remain at the scene to be arrested? But we don’t wait to discover his reasons. We... Read more...
Obama & the King: We Might All Be Bowing Soon · April 11, 2009 So, it disturbs me that the President of the United States would undeniably and intentionally bow to Saudi King Abdullah. Showing fealty to a foreign potentate is problematic for me, and it would be no matter which “royalty” was involved. But, to be completely honest, Barack Obama’s actions aren’t all the surprising.
