I Couldnt Agree More, Senator
January 9th, 2009 | by Craig |I heard an excerpt from this speech given by Senator Jon Tester yesterday.
It’s not in the story, but when you hear the full version of this paragraph,
Tester also thanked the families, friends, and communities of outgoing National Guard troops. He noted that when 229 men and women answer the call of duty in a state like Montana, “it impacts a great deal of the state.”
when he talks about a state like Montana, he refers to it as a “small town with very long streets.”
I’m rather fond of that turn of phrase, myself.
What can I say? It made my morning.

Actually Craig that phrase is being heard all over the capitol complex these days. Are you getting royalties yet?

Wish I could take credit for coining the phrase, but that is the first time I’ve heard it outside of the context of this blog.
