World’s greatest hockey mom, huh?

The booing was so loud at the Philadelphia Flyer’s game where Sarah Palin was invited to drop the first puck, they had to crank the music…

Roy Brown’s Campaign for Hall Monitor Continues

Gloomy Roy is at it again. Following news that the state is potentially looking at a one billion dollar surplus under Governor Schweitzer’s leadership and following the failure of Brown’s epic proposals like $50 annual property tax reductions, health care task forces, and undefined bonuses for teachers, Senator Brown has gone back to the old [...]

but I thought that everyone should take the opportunity to see the level of rhetoric displayed by the next generation of Montana Republicans. Hard to imagine why the site is anonymous, but it’s certainly good to see that the Montana Republican Party endorses the site. Keep it classy, boys. Why don’t you disenfranchise social misfits like this?

Why Does Jake Eaton Want to Disenfranchise My Students?

5. October 2008

Initially, I was angry with Jake Eaton and the Montana Republican Party in theory. It was greatly upsetting to learn that the Republican Party in Montana had so little respect for voters that it would actively try to remove them from the rolls, rather than educate them. Admittedly, it would be challenging to educate voters [...]
