Conrad Thinks Farmers Are Lazy, Too

August 23, 2006

Shane and Matt have already mentioned this, but I think it’s important to note again: Conrad Burns, champion of agriculture, thinks that farmers are lazy: The Burns campaign declined NEWSWEEK’S request for an interview. When we told them that you had agreed to chat, Burns’ campaign spokesperson said, “He has time to talk, because he’s [...]

Singer, Coobs and Klindt Collide: The Tribune on Montana Blogging

August 20, 2006

Gwen Florio’s story today about Montana blogs was a little disappointing, repeating a lot of the Republican nonsense about the connection between Kos and Tester, and because it featured a look at the semi-official mouthpiece of the GOP without making the connection obvious. Florio prints the same inane Klindt allegations that somehow suggests that Jon Tester [...]

The Missoulian: Still Hating Arabs? Muslims? Somebody.

August 18, 2006

I’ve re-written this sentence three times, because I keep using an unpleasant word to describe the editor responsible for today’s fear-mongering editorial in the Missoulian. Following their now classic example of pants pissing hysteria on Monday, they follow with an editorial suggesting racial profiling and gutting the 14th and 4th Amendments. The problem we have [...]

Nerds say: sports drink bombing? Not-so-likely…

August 18, 2006

I am a nerdy guy, but I am more the Linux-blog-computer-science-type nerd than the chemistry-math-physics-type nerd.  When the story broke last week that British officials caught some bad guys planning to sneak on to a plane and  blow up some planes with chemicals and an iPod battery, it generally made sense to me.  Take an [...]
