Missoula Superintendent Gets 10% Raise

July 16, 2010

One clear lesson from the recent economic downturn seems to be that it’s always better to be at the top of the heap when hard financial choices are being made. While school districts across the state have been cutting programs and laying off teachers because of budget difficulties, there always seems to be enough money [...]

Fox Family Values

July 15, 2010

I’ve spent more time today watching clips from Fox News than any sane person should (Sorry, Mr. Beck, that was a cheap shot), and have been particularly drawn to the breathless coverage on America’s finest news program, Fascists and Friends. Given the breathless attention they’ve given to the “poor family values” on display in Helena [...]

The Prince of the Rimrocks Keeps Talking (Updated with More Pure Dumb)

July 13, 2010

With all the digging Representative Rehberg has done lately, perhaps he could have dug a fire line while he was out battling the blaze with the Billings Fire Department? “This has absolutely nothing to do with the firefighters,” the Republican congressman said. “I trust you, I believe in you, I respect you. I would not [...]
