Having to Backpedal……Lo siento.

Sometimes I need to think lonnggerr before speaking and certainly before blogging.  Righteous indignation has its place; this may have been misdirected, as well as overdone.  Sheesh.  More on that later…..
Last night I penned off at livid email to the person in question represented ‘in the video’ as well as to the Executive Director.  Then [...]

Planned Parenthood of Idaho Has Some Explaining To Do

Livid – that’s the adjective befitting this story.
My fellow unruly blogsters at Les Enrages alerted me to this at Huckleberries Online; one unruly hails from Spokane. Here’s the story via the ‘Christian News Wire.‘

Apparently this so-called investigation was conducted over [...]

Sara at F-Words

I’ve been thinking about Sara ever since Tara at The Political Game posted about Sara’s medical misfortune. I don’t know Sara at all; she has visited here and commented, but that’s it. (Andy, Sara’s husband, has updates at f-words, by the way. )
Sooo – I called Sr. Anna Margaret, and she has [...]

Get Out and STAY Out

Here’s two people that need to retire from public life – NOW.
1. Larry Craig
2. Ralph Nader
Larry Craig not only lassoed the ACLU, who he -by the flippin’ way – despises, into working on his behalf but then, THEN – gets a standing ovation at the Mini-Cassia Lincoln Day lunch.
A standing ovation for Sen. Larry Craig’s [...]

Jon Stewart on Larry King

Last week, Jon Stewart was a guest on ‘Larry King Live.‘
If you didn’t understand it before, Stewart explains”the why” of the writer’s strike using McDonald’s as the analogy.
It works!
(Just get thru the commercial and the first minute of yadda ya stuff, and then King gets right to it with Jon.)

Fuck David Frum

I usually watch ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ on HBO.  Due  to the writer’s strike I hadn’t because, well because – basically – his stuff stunk without his writers. However, the writers have now returned and last week’s show was pretty damned good.  But I’m not going to talk about last week’s show; I’m going to [...]

Lunar Eclipse

Well, I just went outside to check and it is happening.  About 40-50% is covered it looks to be and is kinda of a dusty dirty brownish kind of color.

The full Moon will turn yellowish and then appear blood red, rusty or grey, depending on the atmospheric conditions on Earth…..
During the eclipse, the Earth will line [...]

Sudan, Divesting, and Idaho

What the ….???
If we look at what damages our society here and our children, alcohol, drugs, the tobacco industry…” he said. “I see equal justification for a lot of those issues in divesting, but if we go down that road, I don’t know where we stop.”  (Curt McKenzie)
That frickin’ idiot over there is Curt McKenzie, [...]

More on Tamarack’s Bid for $42.5 Million From Idaho

Now if you were the manager or controller, say, of a very large financial concern that had many, many dollars to ‘give’ in the form of loans, would ya give it to Tamarack right about now?  Especially after this.
The majority owners of Tamarack Resort have filed for bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure by Credit Suisse, [...]

Following Tamarack’s Loan Request

[Update via New West: Tamarack's Investor/Owners filed for bankruptcy protection last week.]
After inquiring from a financial whiz I know, who – incidentally – knew nothing about Municipal Bond Banks or the like, I decided to call the state treasurer’s office to find out how the scoop on Tamarack’s seeking to “persuade the state to guarantee [...]
