Mark It Zero
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008We're back in the saddle for another edition of Small Town, Long Streets tonight at 21:00 MST. We'll have plenty to talk about, including, but not limited to health care -- or insurance, as some of us call it. And the usual jibba and jabba. Plus the requisite dead ...
Somewhere, Iosif Vissarionovich is Smiling
Saturday, January 12th, 2008Relax citizen! There is no need to worry about your thermostat! We will take care of it for you! Why don't we just put radio-controlled light switches in, while we're at it. Let's not forget our ovens, which draw quite a bit of juice. And what about our fridges ...
A Blast from the Past
Saturday, January 12th, 2008I think every newspaper in Montana has a nickname: The Bozeman Daily Comical (Chronicle), The Billings Guess-At-It (Gazette), The Montana Sub-Standard (Standard), Great Falls Tribunal (Tribune) and the Helena Insufficient Record (Independent Record), for starters. I only bring that to mention that the moniker Sub-Standard seems pretty well-deserved ...
Global Warming and Rock Stars
Saturday, January 12th, 2008Is there anything they can't do? Latest on the list: creating new types of sadness. In order to combat this, I would heartily recommend pharmaceutical relief.
Investment Opportunity
Friday, January 11th, 2008Helena has had a ban on smoking in all public establishments for the past 4 (or so) years. This includes bars, casinos, restaurants, etc. Physicians here have claimed that within six months of the ban, heart disease plummeted. It's good all around. Well, unless you're a smoker. I had ...
What’s Missing Here?
Thursday, January 10th, 2008This article in the Gazette talks about a think tank (refreshingly described as "left-leaning," which is nice) here in Montana that wants to reinstate a fuel tax that was repealed in 1999 in order to fund the "Office of Energy Conservation", which will, according to the group, "produce 'hundreds of ...

Sometimes, They Just Write Themselves
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008143 pot plants found in Missoula raid. 'Bout a day's supply for Mizoo, I reckon.
Hypothetical Question
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008The situation(s): You're a sinestra blogger(s) who had it "on good authority" that an indictment on charges of bribery and corruption was due any day for a Senator who has now been fully exonerated; or a reporter who carried water on these charges without bothering to do any ...
Don’t Be Fatuous, Jeffrey
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Be sure to tune in tonight for "Small Town, Long Streets '08". Topics on the table will be wide-ranging, yet uninteresting. And a surprise guest! Or maybe not! You just don't know unless you tune in. So tune in already. 9:00 p.m. MST. As usual. Phone: (718) 664-9769 Yahoo! IM: ...
Welcome to ‘08
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008And so far, let me just say that it's very much like '07, except for maybe the weather which, so far, is on the uptick, but there's a lot of year left. I like the arbitrariness of January 1. There's really no rhyme nor reason why this day should ...
