Eldest Child is joining me to raise money for Special Olympics and we are both doing the Passion Plunge.
If you have a dollar or two to spare, you can pledge here.
Anything helps, and everything is appreciated.
See ya in '11.
(Hopefully sooner, but you know how it is.)

To wit: Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.
Or, as you may know it better, "An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object ...

If you have a dollar or two to spare, you can pledge here.
Anything helps, and everything ...

As if 900,000 bosses cried out in unison and said, "FAIL"
Let's face facts gang, if any one of Max's 900,000 bosses had "forgotten" to pay taxes, the IRS would have all their assets, and they would be in prison.
But if it's someone who's the next SecTreas?
"I believe that these errors, ...

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 ...

So, if the codified union thuggery, known as the Employee Free Choice Act [ . . . ]
Pardon the interruption, but I'd be hard pressed to find another bill that is any more misnamed than this one. From now on, I'm going to refer to it as the Slavery ...

On the way home, I had the local radio station1 on, and was listening to the afternoon news.
They had a fluff piece about Senator Baucus, and his starting his 8,423rd year in the Senate.
The thing that made me laugh was how he talked about his job being the best in ...

As I'm seeing more and more people take to things like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc., I'm also seeing a lot of self-proclaimed "social media experts." When you check up on them, it looks like they've had a blog for all of 18 months and a Facebook and MySpace ...

Really I only point out this story over at Left in Western PA to point out the irony of someone chastising a private college for a supposed First Amendment violation.
For review, the first five words of the First Amendment are: "Congress shall make no law".

So, yesterday in Helena it was a balmy 13 degrees (Fahrenheit) at our house.
Today, it rose into the 40's.
Today was also the first day that the legislature convened.

The Legislature opens its biannual session today.
With the House and Senate very equally divided, I'm rooting for the side of gridlock in which very little gets done.
Some GOP legislators have entered the blogging fray at Rotunda Report. I'm hopeful that it will be a true blog with lots of ...

So now that gas is down to $1.84/gallon here, I got to wondering when the people who blamed oil companies for the high oil prices this summer were going to thank the oil companies for getting those prices back down.

...and thought it worth passing along.
At some point in your life, you will have to come to the conclusion that the common denominator in all your failures is you.
I thought it might have come from Despair, but I couldn't find it in the list of demotivators.
