In Which I Agree With The Chairman of the Montana Democratic Party

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

"I resent pretend cowboys, including the bushwhacker from Crawford, Texas (President George W. Bush), the goat herder from Billings (Republican U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg) and the disk jockey from the Northern Ag Network (Republican state Senate candidate Taylor Brown)," he [former trial lawyer and MT Democratic Party Chairman --Ed.] said. Yes, ...

Can We Just Admit That It’s Bullshit Now?

Carbon Dioxide? Sure. Methane? Alright. Sunspots? Makes sense. Compound Interest? OK, now you're just yanking my chain.

Global Warming Strikes Montana

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Everybody Panic!! So, the Clark Fork Coalition (an angelic non-profit) came up with this report that Global Warming is Very Real™, and a Huge Threat™, etc., etc. Get this, though. They used 50 years of data to make their extrapolations. 50 years!! Out of 4 billion. Unless I fat-fingered my calculator, in ...

Cracks Me Right Up, It Does

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Since our sinestra pals here in Montana spill so many electrons bitching about Max Baucus, I would think that they would be positively elated that a truly progressive candidate is in the race. Too bad he has an "R" behind his name, huh? I mean, here's your chance to prove that you ...

Saith The Obamessiah

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

"You know, there's a lot of talk in this country about anger. Well I think Americans are tired of the same old varmints. Ordinary Americans believe in capitalists, they want less predators, they just aren't sure if their leaders believe in happiness." Not really, but this is pretty fun.

New Montana Political Blog

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

You can find a pro-Kelleher blog at Eyebrows Over Highbrows, if you haven't already. The kicker is the banner image of Kelleher's famous eyebrows. It's distinctive, yet a tad disturbing. Enjoy!

Applying the Democrats’ Energy Thinking to More Mundane Matters

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

"Don't save any money for your house now. You won't be able to do anything for ten years, and we'll probably have some alternative financial system by then, anyway."

Denny Rehberg on Energy

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I'm with him up until point #4. Agree or disagree, he does make some good points.

Seeing As How This Is A .44 Magnum

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

The most powerful handgun in the world, and could blow your head clean off. You have to ask yourself one question. "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? (H/T: Jack Bog)

This Should Be Interesting

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

In Montana, if you do much traveling, you can't help but be stricken by the poverty on our reservations. The reasons for which are myriad and debatable, but I'm heartened that on the Crow Reservation, they are going to try to do something about it. With energy prices soaring, the ...

We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Over this past Independence Day weekend, a number of bloggers across the spectrum posted the text of the Declaration of Independence. Like most well-written and relevant pieces, I find something new in every reading, and I had some thoughts about it. While I tried to bring them all together in a cohesive ...

Administrivia

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Can I take a minute to get some administrivia out of the way? First up: I am disabling comments from here on out. Many of my sinestra pals will no doubt chalk it up to "stifling dissent," and being an enemy of free speech. (Let's set ...

Intellectual Honesty

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I only have one wish this election season: I wish that just one leftist Democrat would step up to the plate and admit that they're glad to finally see such high gas prices. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to some blithering idiot talk about how it ...

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

This post is more for my own interest, just keeping track of the Bischoff story. He evidently wants Idaho to go easy on him.
