It's time for Senator Max Baucus to do the right thing. Following the lead of Senator Tester and Representative Rehberg, it's time for Max to start telling Montana voters how he spends his days in Washington.
Members of Congress need to know that they work for us, and that we are entitled to know who they spend their time with. It's a fair expectation in a representative government, and there is no excuse for Senator Baucus to keep us in the dark. I urge you to contact Senator Baucus at one of his offices today, to politely request that he bring his schedule out into the sunlight.
Update: The Billings Gazette wonders where Max is, too.

The past few days have definitely shown that Elizabeth Edwards is someone who has the strength to take on the right wing attack machine without conceding their agenda. Today, she showed incredible class demonstrating what a despicable beast Ann Coulter is, and yesterday she straightforwardly said that she supported the idea of gay marriage, without resorting to the typicallytepid Democratic support for "civil unions."
Leadership is saying the right thing, with dignity and honesty. If only the candidates for nomination would start to follow her lead…

Dear Dell Corporation,
This letter is hard for me to write. We’ve been together for a long time, since I purchased my first laptop from you six years ago. We’ve been through operating system upgrades, driver incompatibilities, and even an occasional hardware malfunction.
Through it all, I’ve tried to stay loyal to you, but I’m not sure that I can deal with this relationship much longer.You don’t seem to care about me any more; in fact, you seem distant, almost unimaginably foreign, and I can’t understand you any more. You’ve changed.
I called you today because you had recently canceled an order I placed because you decided it was a duplicate order. When I tried to explain to you that if the order was a duplicate, there must be another order somewhere, you hung up on me rather than try to talk it through. That hurt and confused me, though not as badly as your accent, which really limited effective communication. It’s as if the only words you really knew how to say were “Hello, this is Dell” and “I’m sorry,” but I really didn’t believe you either time. Those words sounded rehearsed, and not from the heart.
I knew we weren’t exclusive, Dell, but I was surprised to learn just how many people you’ve disappointed and how many hearts you’ve broken.I don’t want to be like those people, stuck on hold in my relationship forever. It’s time for me to move on.
Sincerely,
Don Pogreba
P.S: I’ve already got my eye on someone else.
As one point or another, I have seriously considered running for
political office and that might still be in the plans for one day for
me. For right now, however, I am very, very happy in my career
and my connection with politics: taking shots from the sidelines.
As a teacher, it is really important to me that there is something
who shares my beliefs in education sitting in the Superintendent of
Public Instruction seat.
