I am traveling to Seattle this morning for a training and have some free WiFi at the lovely (and seemingly complete after years of “homeland security” construction) Helena Regional Airport and poked around the web for some reactions to the Tester-Burns debate.  I found a number of blogs that I usually don’t read checked in [...]
