There will be no podcast tomorrow, as I will be watching Class C, a story about basketball in small town Montana. This is something I'm not only familiar with, but a product of Ennis directed it.
If you're in Montana, this looks to be worth the time.
If you're ...

But it's not all that far to the top if you want to do a podcast.
Or maybe it is.
Either way, tune in to "Small Town, Long Streets" tonight where we'll have at least a minimal rant about health insurance.
Maybe we'll throw some unions in there for good measure.
The time is ...

What?
Instead of helping workers, the AFL-CIO used state money for it's own staff?
Why, that's just inconceivable!
It found that for every $1 spent to help displaced workers in Montana, the AFL-CIO spent $4.01 on its own staff salaries for its Project Challenge: Work Again program.
"An ongoing audit review showed all the ...

This is an interesting article on how we assess risk, compared to what the risk actually is.

I just saw an ad on TV for a company (no link -- you've probably seen the ads, too) for a company offering no-collateral loans. The quick fine print at the end has the APR, which is 99.25%.
This, to me, is illustrative of an education gap. Really, anyone ...

It's taken as an article of faith on the left that conservatives and Republicans pretty much mindlessly follow whatever the radio pundits tell them to do.
How, then, to explain the emergence of McCain as the presumptive Republican nominee, against the apparent consternation of said hosts?

Welp, they done pissed me right off, so I'm making the official move to NowLive.
To listen to the show, point your browser to this link, and everything should start working. It's in Flash, so as long as your browser supports Flash, it should be pretty OS-independent.
It also allows you ...

There's an election or something going on today?
For having the word "politics" in the title of this thing, I feel compelled to say something, but as it turns out, I couldn't say it any better than this.
Seems like the big question will be if the Paul-Bearers can carry the day ...

I swear to Gord -- I'm almost happier right now than when my Stillers won 2 years go.
Almost.
18-1. Instead of the perfect season, it will go down as the biggest choke in history. Somewhere in Idaho tonight, Bill Buckner is smiling.

There is, generally speaking, a rather large gap between what I want and what I get. Today's football game will likely be no different.
What I want: Giants win: 38-34.
What I will get: Patriots win: 31-17.
It wouldn't be so bad, but are there any fans ...

Dear Senator Spectoer:
Really, what the NFL did with the Cheatgate tape is their own farking business.
This is not -- repeat NOT -- a congressional issue.
Now, STFU and GBTW.

The Voting Public
