Danger
It seems like your friends and mine, the big meat packers, want to expose us to even <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/24/build/nation/86-cattle-ban.inc" target="_new">more potentially <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> infected cattle from Canada</a> than the <acronym title="United States Department of Agriculture, Bought and Paid for by The Big Meat Packers">USDA</acronym> does. I keep telling you the meat packers don't…

Tender Feelings
I noticed recently that I am getting very few comments on this blog anymore. I was persuing my site statistics trying to figure it out and have discovered that I am getting 90% fewer hits after my <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/757-Fake-Holidays.html" target="_new">Valentines Day post</a>. Boy, some people have real tender feelings about Valentines Day and definitly don't…

Surgery
I read the story about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/22/build/nation/86-sub-surgery.inc" target="_new">sailor performing surgery</a> with great interest. Most stories about Submarines catch my eye since I proudly served in the Silent Service and enjoy keeping up on it. This story hit a little closer to home though. <br />n<br />nWhile the guy that did the surgery deserves his…

Horrible
<a href="http://savetoby.com/" target="_new">Savetoby</a>. I found this via <a href="http://j-walkblog.com/blog/index/P19051/" target="_new">J-Walk Blog</a> and find the whole thing absolutely disgusting. Extorting money from people to save an animal he willingly adopted. What a complete lack of morals and virtues this asshole has. It is one thing to care for an animal that is destined to be food…

Twins No More
<a href='http://www.sarpysam.com/sarpysam/uploads/twins02222005.jpg' target='_new'><img width='110' height='73' border='0' hspace='5' align='left' src='http://www.sarpysam.com/sarpysam/uploads/twins02222005.serendipityThumb.jpg' alt='' /></a>Well I finally had to bite the bullet today. I had been avoiding like the plague bumming one of the twin calves since it is a pain and the calf never does as well, but as you can see by the picture the one calf…

Working Hard
Now I realize the Legislature is working hard on such bills as designating a <a href="http://data.opi.state.mt.us/bills/2005/billhtml/HB0390.htm" target="_new">state insect</a> but maybe they should concentrate on more important issues.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.townhall.com/columnists/jeffjacoby/jj20050221.shtml" target="_new">Terminate the gerrymander</a><br />n<br />nNow this really looks like a plan that Montana needs to look at. Get the power of redistricting out of politicians…

Weird
This one is from the too weird to be true file. <br />n<br />n<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&u=/ap/20050221/ap_on_re_eu/stolen_swimming_pool&printer=1" target="_new">Thieves Steal Built-In Swimming Pool</a><br />n<br />nA Norwegian family returned to their mountain cabin for the first time since November and found their swimming pool installed 20 years ago was gone.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>"It must have been a terrible job to…

Protection
Gotta <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/22/build/state/66-attorney-bill.inc" target="_new">protect them lawyers</a> from untrained competition. It takes a government mandate to protect them from unskilled, untrained competitors? I'm sure they really don't have anything to worry about from them. Anyone who would want to use a non-lawyer for legal advice deserves what they get. <br />n<br />n<b>A good deal of tyranny…

Day
Just like the infamous <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/757-Fake-Holidays.html" target="_new">Valentines Day</a>, today is another made up holiday that I have no use for. This one was not made by the greeting card companies though, it was made up by the Government to give their employees a paid day off. I don't see that they need it but on…
