I read <a href="http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/2470000">this</a> story this morning and really wonder how accurate their figures really are or is it like UM's athletic budget and full of <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000283.html">accounting errors</a>. Recently I recieved a letter threatening dire consequences upon my person from the IRS since the Ranch failed to file its taxes last year. Well I…

The Presidential election sure seems to have kicked off early this year. Normally it's June or better before we start hearing the candidates on a daily bases making promises we know they can't keep. All ready I hear Bush and Kerry battling it out in the media trying to steal the spotlight and energize their…

Now <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31606-2004Mar4.html">here</a> (free registration required) is another example of how the incumbent President gets a big advantage. Cut price airfare. <br />n<br />n<i>The Republican National Committee has estimated the cost of flying Air Force One at $35,000 or more per hour, but federal rules require the Bush-Cheney campaign to reimburse the government only for…

<a href="http://burns.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=1087">BURNS CALLS FOR WOLF MEETINGS</a>. My first thought upon seeing this is to wonder how our esteemed Senator was going to get the wolves to a meeting. The press release doesn't clear up my cunfusion.<br />n<br />n<b>It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf. Thomas Fuller</b>

I have been reading about the <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=531&ncid=531&e=1&u=/ap/20040227/ap_on_sp_co_ne/fbc_university_assault_2">despicable behavior</a> of the students and some faculty at the University of Colorado for some time now. Now though, there are congressman calling for a <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040302/ap_on_re_us/university_assault">congressional investigation</a> into the matter. With many investigations and people working the case in Colorado why does congress need to get involved…

I couldn't believe <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=37349">this</a> story.<br />n<br />n<i>Sen. Hillary Clinton chided President Bush for not thanking her husband for handing the current administration such a strong military.</i><br />n<br />nMaybe my memory is a little faulty on this issue but didn't President Clinton preside over the gutting of our military during his administration? I remember stories…

Now isn't <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/financialtimes/business/FT1075982783472.html?ex=1393131600&en=84995e065fb67b58&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND">this</a> interesting. Our elected Senators stock portfolio's (say that three times fast) outperform the market by about 12%. They wouldn't be trading on insider information would they? {sarcastic}I'm sure their not, there fine upstanding citizens just doing there job for the good of the country.{/sarcastic}<br />n<br />n<b>Talk is cheap – except when…

I rarely get involved in political discussions since I became very disillusioned with the whole political process many years ago but I do have a question for you more political types. I read this morning in the paper that <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/25/build/nation/30-bushgay.inc">Bush urges constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriages</a>. Is our President doing this because he…

Whether you agree with the goals of the NEA or not, calling them a terrorist orginazation is going a bit too far. This only leads to debasing the word terrorist.<br />n<!–more–><br />nTerrorist- One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism.<br />nTerrorism-The unlawful useor threatned use of force…

I had better be a little more careful about what I say in the future. Somebody might throw <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/08/build/state/60-legislature.inc">this</a> up in my face. I have to agreee with the advice though. I've always said you can't complain if you don't vote but this guy takes it a step further. Good for him.<br />n<br />n<b>Any…
