Elections
Many times election observers get put into third world countries to monitor the election process and ensure its fairness. Well you can add a new country that has members of it's own government asking for election observers. Who might that country be? <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39255">The USA</a>. Yes you have it right, some Congressmen have made the…

Sense
Have you ever heard the phrase, "more money than sense?" I use it sometimes to describe people that spend money on things that I don't quite get. My hired man says anybody with a computer has more money than sense, since he has no use for computers. Well today in the local rag I see…

Riding Along
Going ons around the ranch. The Insurance adjuster showed up on Thursday to look at the hay fields. Most of them she rated as 0 production since they were "mechanically unharvestable." I had to agree. There is about 100 acres though that are sub-irrigated that the adjusted amount of production is over the guarantee so…

Strikes Again
Well, <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/07/02/build/nation/65-cosby.inc">Bill Cosby strikes again</a>. A lot of black people are taking offense at the things he is saying but it sure strikes me as a double standard that he is the only one that can say it. If a white person were to say these things they would be branded a racist and…

Software
I have mentioned a couple of times that I have moved my Operating System for my computer from Windows, which has many security flaws, to Linux. I have tried quite a few Linux distributions and the one I love is <a href="http://www.libranet.com">Libranet</a>. It is a Linux distribution that requires payment but the developers have thrown…

Support
I find <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/07/01/build/state/40-schweitzer.inc">this</a> alleged lack of support for Montana businesses interesting. Whether the allegation is true or not I can't say for sure but I have no reason to doubt it. I note at the end of the article:<br />n<br />n<i>Scarff said he e-mailed Schweitzer in May and asked the candidate why he bought…

Dodged a bullet this <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/07/01/build/nation/45-mad-cow.inc">time</a>. I was hoping this was the deal when I first heard about it, but am glad to see it turned out this way.

Crowding
Since I don't live in Southern CA, I don't feel I can accurately comment on their <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/06/29/build/nation/72-pollution-rules.inc">pollution</a> problems.
