(I might work on a real logo one of these days, too). So, without further ado, the first Montana Blog Roundup.
The most interesting story of the week is certainly the arrest of Dillon’s own Moorcat, covered in depth by Jay Stevens and Moorcat himself. Dave Budge uses the arrest and discussion to argue that governments have abused their power since well before 9/11.
David Crisp describes the challenge of publishing an independent weekly newspaper, wondering about the viability of newspapers in general along the way.
Rebecca absolutely owns the the right wing noise machine on global warming over at Scoop Montana. I’ve got to admit these people terrify me just a little bit; I just hope that if I ever have a brain tumor I don’t get a surgeon who believes that his common sense insights about the brain are more valid than scientific consensus.
Montana Headlines argues that Mike Huckabee has already broken into the top tier of the Republican candidates. It makes sense; if a fatigued, elderly gentleman with an undistinguished acting career can make the top tier, how hard can it be?
Allyson writes that birth control prices are going to skyrocket for young women, while Mark Tokarski suggests that government support for birth control is government sponsored promiscuity. He might want to talk to the anti-global warming crowd about science sometime.
Ed Kemmick covers a lot of ground in this post, but I was most interested in his observation about Montana’s online newspapers: they’re largely disasters to navigate. Amen, sir.

Thanks for the link to our “debate”, Pogie! I sent a final reply to Scoop some days back but he never posted it as promised. I guess, despite saying otherwise, he wants the final word there.

No problem. It’s interesting how many conservative sites pointed to that post, despite the clear resolution of the debate.
I wouldn’t have let you post a response, either, if I were him.

It was his loss. My post would have made a lot of his readers laugh…for once.
Zing!
