Malevolent Midsummer Musings

Our fundamental right to life does not include a blank check written on the account of the lives of others.  Any demand otherwise exposes a base selfishness that should have passed prior to kindergarten.

 A society of children cannot survive, no matter how all-embracing the government nanny.

 If you shoot into the general direction of my backyard, […]

O.O. #15

When changing the gear oil in the front differential of a four wheeler, it’s a good idea to use a funnel rather than leave the cap on the bottle until the last second; chances are when you’re trying to squeeze the bottle of gear oil into the correct position, you’ll pop the damn top off […]

Putting Action where Their Gas Is

The good news with Mr. Obama’s latest directives regarding fuel economy and greenhouse emmissions is that at least those who tell us what and how we should live and drive will now have to live by those same standards…inevitable loopholes for the important people notwithstanding.

The Guile of a Pile of Bile

How dare those Republicans nominate three political scientists from the faculty of Montana’s colleges to the legislative redistricting commission!  Who on earth would want an individual as unqualified as a professor on there?

The second man married a […]

R.I.P. mtpolitics

Craig has (hopefully) temporarily hung up his keyboard.  I also hope he’s hung that keyboard on a fairly low rung to allow quick access should he need to crack somebody over the head with the thing.  I understand his position, even if we’re all the poorer for the result.  Life gets in the way of […]

Nipple Twisting

If I knew how aggravated/annoyed the left side of the Montana ‘Sphere would be with today’s Tea Parties, I might have tried to organize the thing myself.  If you have the time, get out there today; the government may not care what you have to say, but one really shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to […]

O.O. #14

It’s a good bet that when parents of kids other than kindergartners voice safety concerns with regard to having kindergartners on your team, the last thing on their mind is the safety of those kindergartners.

A Breakthrough in National Defense

Sure, there may be some blowback from providing $8 billion to a nut tree while cutting $1.4 billion from missile defense, but we really should remember that we are graced with the leadership of a man with a brilliant mind, so there must more to it than one may suspect.  For example, instead of destroying […]
