Friday, October 12th, 2007

Someone get Granny Nan Pelosi on the phone, Right. The F***. Now. There's a GODDAMNED TRAGEDY afoot in that Hannah Montana fans are having to pay GODDAMNED HIGH PRICES for tickets. [Mother Maureen] Von Minden lives in Florida -- in "Hurricane Alley." "We're hurricane people," she said. "It's price gouging ...

You ever have one of those days (weeks? months?) where you just wanna pack up and time-share with this dude? And looking like that, who's going to even approach you, much less try to strike up an inane conversation with you. Hell, the smell alone would probably be enough to head off ...

Do It For The Children

Friday, October 12th, 2007

OK, so the failed SCHIP program was to be funded by a tax on smokers (who are disproportionately poor), yet everywhere we turn, the nanny-staters are banning smoking. How are we going to support a new generation of children on SCHIP if we can't get this one hooked? It makes one's head ...

That’s Gonna Leave a Mark

Monday, October 8th, 2007

I skimmed this article the other day, but didn't comment. Montana Headlines says what I might have said, but he says it 100 times better than I ever could. I think today's word is: eviscerated.

New Blog

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

In my email yesterday, I received a note from Bob Garner about his new blog, waves and particles. It promises to be an interesting read. From his email address, I assume that Bob has Montana connections, and I further assume that he will expound on that at some point. At any ...

Some Montana Politics for the Week

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

It's been a busy week here at Casa del MTPolitics. I think that the Good Lord gives us a forgetful gene so that we don't remember how rough it is getting newborns on a feeding schedule that doesn't stick to hours that only Dracula and Charlie Sheen can appreciate.1 ...
