I Like The Cut of His Jib

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Tom Porter was more than a little miffed with Missoula County for making him go through subdivision review to put a trailer on his property, and then for making him install fire sprinklers in it. Also by order of the county, Porter had to name the forever-nameless road leading up to ...

Trouble In The Promised Land?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Ouch. That's gotta hurt. Another state in which Palin's down-home, conservative appeal may be having an effect is Montana, where Obama also recently decreased his advertising budget by 50%. Although Obama approached — and in a few polls, even led — McCain in surveys of North Dakota and Montana over ...

Green activists 'are keeping Africa poor'. Speaking before a keynote lecture tonight to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, of which he is president, Sir David said that the slow pace of African development was linked directly to Western influence. “I'm going to suggest, and I believe this very ...

Who Am I?

My good friend, Mario Burgos, down in New Mexico has a little quiz for you. A teaser: I am under 45 years old, I love the outdoors, I hunt, I am a Republican reformer... There are more hints, but you'll have to click on over to find the answer.

Montana Election Wiki

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

As much as I like to hammer my sinestra pals, I also like to point out when they get it right. They have created Montana Election Wiki, which aims to be a clearing house for information about political races in Montana. From the site: Everyone is welcome to add information to ...

For my friends on the Dextra side of the political spectrum, I'd like to introduce you to Right Montana. Right Montana is a site where right-leaning folks can start their own blog with minimal fuss, and best of all, it's free. There are people to help you get things up and running ...

Montana’s Progressive Candidate Says He Can Beat Baucus

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

He believes that Montanans are ready for a parliamentary government. Me, I'm still waiting for so-called non-partisan progressive organizations to endorse the truly progressive candidate. That, and Godot. (I think I've used that line already, but dammit, it works.)

We Get Searches

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Tons and tons of searches. First up: "mtpolitics" obama muslim. What'cha doin' there, slick? Tryin' to catch me passing along slime? Like the whole Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence party meme that they keep trying to pass along over at Theft in Pennsylvania? (Psst, ...

More Than Meets The Eye

I can't help it. I just think that this stuff is cool. The concept of programmable matter can be thought of as "the ultimate form of digital printing", Rattner told ZDNet Asia Wednesday in an interview. "You literally could make an object of any imaginable shape, or design an object ...

Sometimes You Know When Something’s Been Done Right

Just by looking at who thinks it's wrong. Instead of going for sweeping changes that could cost Montanans jobs, the EQC opted for small changes that, while I don't agree with some of them, are more common-sense approaches that aren't radical changes with massive unintended consequences. Mostly, though, I'm pleased that the ...

That Big Nuclear Power Plant Up There In The Sky?

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

It had its first spotless month in a century. (Would that be considered "sun-o-pause"? --Ed.) There are climatologists who now posit that sunspot activity has more of an effect on climate than anything Man has (or could) do. So, the next few years could be interesting. Are we headed toward a ...
