I meandered over to The Office of the President-Elect (whatever happened to "transition teams"? I guess that doesn't sound important enough) to get my hands on some specific policies to criticize. It seemed like the "Agenda" tab would be a good place to start, and here is what ...

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.

"Is $WILDLY_WRONG_NAME_OF_SU in?"
Caller ID reports "Wireless Caller," but it's a Helena number.
"Can I tell her who's calling?"
"This is such and such from Obama for America, and we were just wondering who you are voting for."
"We're trying to decide between Ron Paul and Lyndon LaRouche."
"OK, Thanks."
"Goodnight."

So, I'm enjoying a quiet evening at home when the phone rings.
Now, let me just say that I am really turning into a crank in my old age. I remember the days before Caller ID when you felt obligated to answer the phone if it rang.
Now I don't. ...

I know it's like a.) beating a dead horse or b.) pointing out the obvious, but for all the caterwauling and bitching about out of state money, the sinestra is strangely silent when the out of state money comes from their fellow travelers.
A quick perusal of the SEIU's records from ...

A 2007 report (pdf) found that, in 2006, almost one out of three Americans – more than 60 million people – used the Internet to get political news and information and to discuss campaign races. Over half of Internet users say that they use it because of the amount ...

We recently had a spirited discussion about what role blogs may play in the coming years. In that post, we toyed around with the idea of a complementary relationship between bloggers and reporters.
The other role that I think blogs could play is that of watchdog, as they do already. ...

(This is part 4 of an ongoing series: Part I, Part II, Part III)
Part IV, Why it Matters
Imagine the following hypothetical (as far as I know) scenario.
A decidedly pro free-market think tank is formed by ExxonMobil, Shell and Halliburton to combat AGW hysteria. That think-tank spins off a ...

So there's this teacher/coach who accepts a pile of money from an athletic booster to steer one of his kids to a particular school, and gets his hand caught in the cookie jar.
What's an apt punishment? I dunno. Give the money back, spend a little time in jail, ...

Sometimes with this hobby, the damnedest things happen.
A little over 6 months ago, I cobbled together some code to aggregate posts from the Montana Dextra blogs, along with a blogroll utility.
It's nothing real special. If a spit 'n duct tape programmer like me can put something together, it can't ...

After so many years of candidates from the right being pounded for their various pastors, isn't it delicious to see the shoe on the other foot?
That's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it: Yes. Yes it is.
While we're speaking of race (sort of), I'm ashamed to live in ...

I got this in my inbox the other day with the subject, "Unknown Senate Records Clinton v Ovama."
I'm quoting it verbatim here, so that you can all consider yourselves edjimicated. Make of it what you will. I know I did.
I have been an Obama supporter since the ...

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 ...
