Some Peoples Children
I can't believe <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/02/10/news/state/37-horses.txt">people who would let animals starve to death</a>.

Smarter Than I Thought
Well, the Montana Senate is <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/02/08/news/state/38-college.txt">smarter than I thought</a>. I'm glad to see this one go down to defeat as you undoubtedly all ready know if you read <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2430-Electoral-Mess.html">my thoughts on it</a>.
