Seriously, those of you who voted for this idiot, please mail me your personal apologies. I'll do my best to forward them to the American public, the world, and all the people who made America great in the past two hundred years. My God.

Real Class Warfare

August 21, 2007

One of my favorite conservative memes of recents years is the claim that arguing for sensible tax policy towards corporations and the wealthy is somehow “class warfare.” Unable to engage on the issue and unwilling to confront the reality that increasingly skewed economic divides damage democracy, the Right contents itself with another rhetorical out.

Erik Iverson: Idiot of the Day

August 16, 2007

You've got to love Erik Iverson. His most pressing criticism of the governor is an objection to hiring someone for a $28,000/year job to promote a math and science initiative by coordinating funding from a variety of state sources.

Jay's got the lead on Brad Johnson absurdly taking credit for a Legislative audit that suggested the need for serious reform in election procedure in Montana, but I thought I would add a few notes from the long audit document.
