Advantages
Now <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31606-2004Mar4.html">here</a> (free registration required) is another example of how the incumbent President gets a big advantage. Cut price airfare. <br />n<br />n<i>The Republican National Committee has estimated the cost of flying Air Force One at $35,000 or more per hour, but federal rules require the Bush-Cheney campaign to reimburse the government only for…

Murder
<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2004/03/09/build/nation/59-masonickilling.inc">This</a> is just murder plain and simple. If there was such a thing as criminal stupidity that charge should be added too.<br />n<br />n<b>When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. George Bernard Shaw</b>

Hockey
In my opinion an attack <a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=sportsNews&storyID=4531646">like this</a> is criminal and needs to be prosecuted. I seen the incident replayed on TV and it was an unprovoked attack on another player. It states in the article that there was an "incident last month when the Avalanche player injured Bertuzzi's teammate and close friend Markus Naslund…

History
There seems to be a never ending attack nowadays on our educational system and its failure to teach our children what is considered properly. I know I have problems with the educational establishment in our local school and the quality of the education that they provide dating back to when I went to school there.…

Wolves Meet
<a href="http://burns.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=1087">BURNS CALLS FOR WOLF MEETINGS</a>. My first thought upon seeing this is to wonder how our esteemed Senator was going to get the wolves to a meeting. The press release doesn't clear up my cunfusion.<br />n<br />n<b>It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf. Thomas Fuller</b>

Worrisome
Here is a very good article on the biggest threat American agriculture faces today.<br />n<br />n<i>"Brazil is the 800-pound gorilla of farming," said U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, who has joined a procession of Minnesota officials to Brazil in recent months. "From the perspective of agriculture, they're the competition."</i><br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4647358.html">Brazil: The new breadbasket</a><br />n<!–more–><br…

Dust Bowl
I seen <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/03/07/build/local/55-windpix.inc">these pictures</a> in the Billings Gazette this morning and my first thought was Dust Bowl Days. Now by no means do I remember this, I am not that old by any stretch of the imagination, but I have heard stories from my Grandpa about it and I really don't want to see…

Gas Prices
<a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=domesticNews&storyID=4502111&pageNumber=0">Bush Admin 'Concerned' About Gasoline Prices</a>. Doesn't it just give you that "warm, fuzzy feeling all over" to know that President Bush is concerned about gas prices for us common folks. But wait, is he really concerned about us or is it that he is concerened about getting re-elected? This is what all Presidents…

Calves
One of the things I really enjoy about this time of year is the watching the young calves bucking and playing when the weather is nice. As they get older they lose some of their playfulness and just aren't quite as cute. <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/cowpix1.html">Here</a> are some pictures for you to enjoy.<br />n<br />n<b>Grief can take…

Glasses
It appears to me somebody really needs a pair of glasses in <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,113442,00.html">this scenario</a>. They can't appear to tell the difference between an Amish man and a middle eastern terrorist. This is one of those places where common sense comes into life. Ah, but common sense isn't allowed anymore, is it. I also thought…
