Oh No I May Be Becoming An Obamaniac
Is this an infectious disease, perhaps spread by reading far left blogs? I occasionally do such treacherous things, to see what they are up to. I think the Obama administration found my only weakness and is shamelessly exploiting it. I mean, of course, the suggestion that high-speed rail, as in Europe, mentioned by our President [… Read More]
Thanks Heavens Dissent Is Patriotic
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”—Mark Twain I thought this was a quote from Kurt Vonnegut but I was wrong. I’m sure I read it in something Mr Vonnegut wrote but perhaps he borrowed it from Mr Twain. Maybe this will lead to some traffic in the other direction south of the border.
The Second Sunday in Lent (B): “holocaust”
I heard this word—holocaust— a couple of times this morning in the first reading about the patriarch Abraham getting ready to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, and wondered what I had missed in my reading on European history. My immediate thought was something like this railroad into the concentration camp at Auschwitz. [… Read More]
Sleepless In Southern Montana
OK then, two nights, or more accurately, two early mornings in a row I’ve been up and reading the Gazette practically before it hits the driveway. The lead stories grab your attention: 3 newsworthy disasters, only one death, not bad, huh? If it Bleeds it Leads: 1)Baucus bleating about healthcare, apparently his assigned part of [… Read More]
Has the 2012 campaign started already?
Just in case you are interested, Time, which has slipped behind the others, also had a picture of our photogenic president, and a few more I suspect. This is not a posed picture, just a random shot, taken at our local Borders Book Store.
We All Need A Little Gentle Stimulation Now & Then
I saw this in the Gazette this morning. Almost snorted my juice through my nose. Sometimes it’s hard to believe there are actually people out there who think along the same line you do. The only problem, of course, is that yawning cavern of emptiness in the Rocky Mountain West. If anybody needs a little [… Read More]
I’ve got a new t-shirt!
The Anchoress told me to Go to Wizbang to get one of these. Isn’t America great!
Politics 101: Mr Machiavelli please call your office!
Am I becoming more dense as I grow older or is the Theatre of the Absurd we now call politics becoming even more meaningless. Yes, I know, probably both but I just cannot give in so easily to the cynicism of meaninglessness, so help me here. Governor Blagojevich of Illinois was caught on tape doing [… Read More]
Wall Street Journal Gangs Up On Senator Baucus
Not only does he draw some fire from the Dec 8th lead editorial, The Obama Health-Care Express, but a fellow letter writer takes him to task with the headline Baucus . . . Proposals As Comic Relief From the senator’s Dec 2 Letter to the Editor in the Wall Street Journal: “. . .will not [… Read More]
Council Vetoes Tussing’s Pick
By a five to four vote the city council vetoes Mayor Tussing’s pick to replace Joy Stevens and the mayor refused to consider the other candidate in the running thus forcing a special election in January. Just when we thought the election season was going to end November 4th, it starts anew. Yeah…
