Spammer Notice
You will notice that on the left I have a new category called notice that I link an <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/legal.html" target="_new">Agreement</a> charging spammers for their comment spam. The idea was inspired by <a href="http://www.alphecca.com/mt_alphecca_archives/000950.html" target="_new">this post at Alphecca</a> and the idea is to charge comment spammers for the advertising they try to do on weblogs.…

Quick Things
Two quick little things. I heard the Super Bowl was on TV tomorrow. Didn't the Red Sox just recently win that?<br />n<br />nOh are the farmers going to scream bloody murder if their <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/05/build/nation/30-farm-subsidies.inc" target="_new">farm subsidies</a> are cut. I don't see this provision getting through the Senate which has a lot of Ag interests…

Welfare or Work
This story comes to me from Germany but it really illustrates the power of Government and its affects on people lives. Now I never paid much attention but it seems like Germany fully legalized prostitution a couple of years ago with brothel owners paying taxes and providing health insurance. Now it seems like these tax…

New Year
The new Year came a little earlier than expected this year. I could say I had my first calf today but that would not quite be true. The truth is……. <a class="block_level" href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/732-New-Year.html#extended">Continue reading "New Year"</a>

Ethanol
All you have to do is search my blog and you will find out how much I hate this <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/03/build/state/60-ethanol.inc" target="_new">ethanol bill</a>. I will not beat a dead horse again at this time. <br />n<br />n<blockquote>Members of the agricultural community support the bill.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI will point out how wrong this statement is. Last…

Gestapo
<blockquote>Some non-Indian landowners and sportsmen say that during the last year or so, Crow Tribal Fish and Game officers have become so aggressive that enforcement has reached harassment levels.</blockquote><br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/02/build/state/20-hunting-dispute.inc" target="_new">Harassment levels</a>?

Agreement
It seems to be <font color=red>a red letter day</font> here. I actually <a href="http://www.helenair.com/articles/2005/02/01/montana/a01020105_06.txt" target="_new">agree with Governor BS</a> for a change. Mine our coal recourses, generate power and ship the power out of the state. I have been advocating this for years. The only question I have is why are we discriminating by only wanting…

Judical Prejudice
Fine, <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/02/build/state/25-wolf-rules.inc" target="_new">this one</a> is real simple. Let's take wolf packs that are killing domestic livestock or otherwise misbehaving and instead of killing them we transport them to Portland or Los Angeles or Salt Lake City or Denver. That way the population will be scattered around which I guess is what the judge wants.…

Drought
Drought is a problem all over.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Joseph Munyao is worried. Weekly earnings are falling steadily at the two butcher shops he owns near the edge of Tsavo National Park, Kenya's largest wildlife reserve. Competitors hit by the slump have closed down, and even Mr. Munyao's once-regular beef customers are staying away. <br />n<br />nIt…

Freedom
<a href="http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050131072009990029" target="_new">This is just abhorrent</a>. <br />n<br />n<blockquote>One in three U.S. high school students say the press ought to be more restricted, and even more say the government should approve newspaper stories before readers see them, according to a survey being released today.<br />n<br />n The survey of 112,003 students finds that 36% believe…
