I’m late on this, sort of like everything else in my life at the moment, but for some reason Koopman’s brand of crazy is getting press again; this time for his self defined conservative litmus test. I understand he fed the opinions of elected Montana Republicans into some sort of conservomatic-2000 and discovered that a […]
Leave it to the Montana GOP to flip me the bird (once again) as soon as I put up a post declaring my intention to go quietly into the night. Rusty over at MTPundit has the details, as does today’s Helena IR. It looks to me that all that’s left of the thing are some […]
In keeping with my typical late analysis of issues, a post by Carol over at Missoulapolis caught my attention when she highlighted a certain reassurance she felt with a Tuesday speech from John McCain in which he outlined some of his strategies to deal with our latest economic ‘crisis’. The story I read regarding […]
I read in today’s Helena IR a brilliant plan by Republican Rep. Roger Koopman
to purge the Republican Party of what he calls 14 “socialist incumbent Republicans.”… He [said he] wants to help oust those Republicans “who have consistently sold out the cause of liberty in the Montana Legislature.” He wants to return the GOP […]

Shorter Missoulian:
Montana Democrats: [drooling, breathless] “Look! Look! Gov. candidate Roy Brown took money from a tax cheat!”
Donor in question: [hey deer; look, headlights!] “I’m not the cheat; now get off my lawn, you idiots. I should have donated to the underwater basket weaving club.”
Montana Republicans: [incredulous, breathless] “The Democrats […]
The Big Dig, that is:
When the [high occupancy vehicle lanes] were opened two years ago, with their very own tunnel under the Fort Point Channel, state officials predicted they would change the way Boston area drivers commute to work.
The roads sit largely unheralded and unused, given that the adjacent Interstate 93, the highway they […]
air force n. 1: the military organization of a nation for air warfare.
I’m probably missing something, but I can’t seam to squeeze the development of a coal to liquid fuel plant into that definition.
(H/T: The Western Word)
This could only from the mouth of Mr. McCain:
The Republican Party must address this issue [immigration], if, in my part of the country, we expect to attract Hispanic voters.

Pandering for votes on this issue, while offering no solution to the problem, amounts to doing nothing.
