Grinding Wheels

Actually, I’m not even sure a sense of movement should be implied:
The [FWP environmental assessment] shows the project [to kill 50 of the roughly 700 urban deer in Helena] will have no or minimal impacts to land, air water and vegetation resources. The study also analyzed wildlife impacts and showed the project will have […]

More Open Mindedness

Thanks to A.J. Tooley, now I may not want my kids to go to college.

Spitting Nails

Yeah, I’m getting a first class lesson in the type of garbage Moorcat has been dealing with, and it all relates to our decision. I had planned on penning post regarding the ‘why’ of our move to Helena, but I think it’s going to have to wait a while, whether I like it […]

The Facts as We Know Them

I’m sure everyone is aware of Moorcat’s legal situation, and most are probably also aware of his brother Wulfgar’s response to it.

Something’s Askew

So you bounce a 6 month old off the floor after “aggressively” shaking him, which results in the permanent scrambling of the little guy’s brain, and you’re assigned a brief 5 years of loving care at the state’s expense. If that sentence wasn’t motivation enough to get you to change your ways, I’m sure […]

Taste this Whine

First we had the Montana Department of Justice confiscating the horrific social menace of 100+ year old gaming equipment, now they’re going after those dangerous wine connoisseurs. I would think that the legislature could fix this problem, but they must be too busy ensuring the availability of paper towels.

State: Gimme Gimme

Today’s Tribune has a piece which highlights the ongoing legal action the state has taken against the suppliers of power to our utility company. It seams the power suppliers have not been paying “rent” on the land underneath their dams, and on the land underneath the reservoirs that were created by those dams. […]
