Trade
It always amazes me to see the different free trade stories. They always seem to mention the sugar industry and in the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/09/build/world/35-freetradepact.inc">new agreement with Australia</a>, sugar is completely exempted. How does the sugar industry have such clout is what I would like to know? Australia produces lots of cattle, sheep, and wheat and…

Complainers
I had better be a little more careful about what I say in the future. Somebody might throw <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/08/build/state/60-legislature.inc">this</a> up in my face. I have to agreee with the advice though. I've always said you can't complain if you don't vote but this guy takes it a step further. Good for him.<br />n<br />n<b>Any…

Decay
Will it never end. For a week now no matter what you read there is some commentary, article,or reference to Janet Jackson's boob. But then me mentioning it just feeds right into it but this one I just couldn't help. In, of all places this morning, the Excite news comes the story <a href="http://apnews.excite.com/article/20040207/D80IMED81.html">Jackson Flash…

Lawyers
You might think this is a lawyer joke or some such, but it isn't. There is an old saying that the only winner in a lawsuit is the lawyers and this just proves it. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/07/build/business/50-salmonsuit.inc">Lawyers take bulk of Bristol Bay salmon lawsuit settlement</a>. Now I don't know anything about the suit, who is in…

Read and enjoy,…

Age
This just show me I am getting old. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/06/build/local/40-ludacris.inc">Outlets sell out of Ludacris tickets</a>. I read this and thought the Gazette had mispelled ludicrous but couldn't fugure out how you would sell out of tickets for it. Selling tickets for a ludicrous indicates to me it might be a circus act of some kind.<br…

Barely In Time
I tell you what, I barely brought these heifers home in time this year. We have been having 2-3 calves a day ever since we got them home. Up until now it has been going real smooth but this evening I finally had to pull the first one and I just got in from finishing…

Hell
You know I just don't get it sometimes. A <a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=TNJI5AH1434O2CRBAE0CFFA?type=domesticNews&storyID=4285972">little 2nd grade girl</a> uses the word hell properly, and in context, and she gets suspended from school. "You're going to go to hell for swearing to God." Whether this is what you belive or not this shows a very proper usage of the word…

Green Buick
It looks to me like the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/05/build/wyoming/50-daredevil.inc">Evil Knievel wanabe</a> in Sheridan needed the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/05/build/nation/45-cubancarboat.inc">Cubans green Buick</a> instead of the one he used. Then maybe he wouldn't have contaminated the pond.<br />n<br />n<b>He was born stupid, and greatly increased his birthright. Samuel Butler </b>
