This has been coming for a while and isn't it just par for the course that we're hearing about it after the election? I could rant and rave about it but what's the…

  • Libertarians

    Do you remember the <a href="http://www.freestateproject.org/" target="_blank">Free State Project</a> where a bunch of Libertarians were going to move to a state and change the whole political system to their point of view? You might remember Montana was in the running but finally lost out to <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34874" target="_blank">New Hampshire</a> in the voting. Well I run…

  • Truth

    I normally don't watch Andy Rooney but my family was waiting to watch Cold Case and he came on at the end of 60 minutes. He was yabbering about the election when he said something that really caught my attention. I don't have the transcript of his statement it is coming from my memory so…

  • Opinion

    <a href="http://www.guru-international.com/gday_mate/archives/2004/11/07/us-election-final" target="_blank">Ozguru</a> has a very insightful analysis of our recent election. <br />n<br />n<blockquote>Whether you are pro-Bush or anti-Bush or even pro-Kerry or anti-Kerry (I&acirc;

  • President

    I see that <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=224009&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312" target="_blank"> Kerry conceded</a> so Bush is the next President. You want to know what is really scary about this and who is jumping for joy that it turned out this way? <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/Hillary.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/Hillary.jpg','popup','width=420,height=550,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">Hillary</a>. This leaves the race wide open in four years for her to attempt to…

    What can I say this morning? My prediction didn't turn out yet. What should I talk about? <br />n<br />n1. The disaster for Montana with a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/11/03/build/state/25-gov-race.inc" target="_blank">Schweitzer</a> win? Well at least there will now be cheap drugs flowing over the border from Canada to keep the people in a drug stupor. By the…

  • Learning

    I heard a comment on a news break on the radio that really struck me this morning. I don't have the exact quote but it went along the line, "the american public learned a valuable lesson in the 2000 election that every vote was important so they are more likely to turn out this year…

  • Good or Bad

    Does <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=2&display=rednews/2004/10/31/build/sports/50-montana-outdoors.inc" target="_blank">Mark Henckel</a> ever have it right.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Are wolves a good thing? Are wolves a bad thing? <br />n<br />nThat really doesn't matter anymore either. Wolves are here to stay. <br />n<br />nAnd the bottom line is that good thing or bad thing, wolves are a costly thing and the price to…

  • Election

    It used to be when the election was over a person got a reprieve from the incessant political jabber until the next election started. Since the Florida debacle of 2000, it looks like we are going to have to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/10/20/build/nation/60-election-legal.inc" target="_blank">relive the whole election</a> afterwords.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Because of the Florida experience, armies of lawyers…
