Is There Something Here?
I normally comment more on Montana politics than National but so far I haven't talked about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/04/06/news/state/20-morrison.txt">Morrison mess</a> that recently flared up in the Democrat camp.

Rain, Rain, Rain
Just over another inch of rain around here. It wasn't as bad as the weather service was predicting but plenty to make it miserable. We are just soaked to the gills. Water standing in sandy soil like you never see it. It's been more years than I can remember since it has been this wet.<br…
