The Federal Government has rolled out its new <a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=B5Y5JAGRVPQFICRBAEOCFFA?type=domesticNews&storyID=4232807">Cyberattack Warning System (CAWS).</a> Here is again something I just don't understand. Why does the Government need to stick its nose in this? Because it is the great Nannystate I guess. <a href="http://www.trendmicro.com/subscriptions/default.asp">Here</a> and <a href="http://nct.symantecstore.com/virusalert/">here</a> I found E-mail alerts that already provide this information. Since…

You could call it a double standard. You could call it hypocrisy. Whichever you call it, I believe it to be wrong. We Americans believe in the rule of law but allow people to be held with no law. We believe in the right of a speedy trail but allow people to be held with…

I see Republican governor candidate Pat Davison is <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/17/build/local/35-kids-davison.inc">returning campaign contributions that were made to his campaign by children.</a> There is a question whether the children actually made the contribution or the parents made them in their names. <br />n<br />n<i>Scot Crockett, Davison's campaign manager, said the campaign was in full compliance with state…

Those evil ranchers are at it again, at least one in particular. Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-Calif.) is the chair of the House committee for environmental policy and is <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11279-2004Jan12.html">trying to recast the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in one fell swoop.</a> The ESA is in desperate need of reform and if this is the…

There was an interesting article in the Gazette yesterday about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/10/build/wyoming/50-fgrade.inc">Wyoming gets F for gun safety</a>. I don't know but <a href="http://www.bradycampaign.org">this organization </a>sure seems like an anti-gun movement cloaked in a doing it to save the children campaign. I got real curious though about how Montana scored on this report card.<br />n<!–more–><br />n<i>Montana…

It is reported that the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2004/01/08/build/nation/35-bushspace.inc">President is going to propose a bold new mission to set up a permanent colony on the moon and to land Americans on Mars</a>. Now the first question I have to ask myself is why are we going to spend the taxpayers money on this right now. Well as…

I am not one to make New Years Resolutions so I am not going to break my perfect streak this year and start. What caught my eye though was <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/03/build/state/55-delegation.inc">this article </a>on Montana's congressional delegation and there plans for the New Year. Now it might seem like this blog has turned into a bash…

I decided to e-mail Senator Conrad Burns after my tirade about his press release and let him know my thoughts about it. This led to me getting mad all over again and it took most of the day for me to calm down again. You can&acirc;

This is one of those things that always annoy me. A <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43085-2003Dec30.html">yearly pay raise </a>just because a person works for the government. As long as you are breathing you get more money. If you are a congressman you get more money. It even works this way if a person is on social security. Now…
