Commenting on comments

Warning: This is a pretty trivial post in the finest traditions of blogging navel-gazing. You may want to skip it if you don’t like that sort of thing.
So Craig just shut off comments on his blog. Obviously, it’s his blog and he can do what he wants. It’s an interesting subject, though.
I’m always a little [...]

Of note

I’ve just returned from Jackson, Wyoming. I regret to inform you that the town’s immigrant underclass has not yet overthrown the local government and rescinded the regulation that requires buildings to be in keeping with the village’s rustic aesthetic. Also, I was a traffic jam caused by cattle outside of Ennis. Most of my readership [...]

Wait, what?

I haven’t been paying much attention to Montana’s AG race. I probably should. I missed this, from around a week ago.
One of the Republican candidates runs SETI@home. He’s now being mocked for being an alien hunter.
Seriously? You’re mocking someone for running a program that helps analyze radio signals? This isn’t some guy running around looking [...]

Ahh, idiots

This is brilliant. Andy and company are defending “Operation Chaos” as being open and honest. Open and honest about your dishonesty. Wonders never cease, do they? It’s vanishingly unlikely this whole thing will accomplish anything more than giving Andy his 15 minutes of fame, so all we’re left with is what it says about some [...]

Politics? What?

I will eventually start commenting on politics again. For now, this isn’t a bad perspective on the recent candidate visits to our state. I’m not a Clinton supporter, but it does appear a lot of Obama supporters were acting like idiots. Then there’s the raving lunatic in LitW’s comments, but that’s really not different than [...]

Bozeman rappers?

I was not aware of this (link will only work for a limited time because the Chronicle is a terrible newspaper).
I don’t like rap, but well, they can do whatever they want. This sentence, however, is something else:
Nickel and Krisp also are the rhyme slayers in the rap group, Filth and Foul, and they’re backed [...]

Or not

Is Rehberg going to have a fight on his hands? Jay says yes.
I suppose someone has to be a cheerleader for Montana Democrats, but come on. He’s going after Rehberg’s support of the Bush administration? Yeah, we tried that last time. That was about all Lindeen talked about. Sure, Bush’s approval rating has fallen [...]

MT GOP purge

Resident lunatic state rep Roger Koopman wants to punish the not conservative enough from the MT GOP. He’s using Natelson’s voting index to pick the targets. Judging by that index (all of Montana’s Democrats are labeled liberal, while the majority of the Republicans are moderate or liberal), we live in a socialist paradise.
I must [...]

How we’ve gone from that statement to “Burns has been exonerated” is beyond me. Iverson informed us that Burns wasn’t a target of the investigation, so it wouldn’t seem like someone who wasn’t being pursued could be exonerated.
As I pointed out a while back, if Burns’ vote wasn’t for sale, he looks worse on the [...]

A whole week

This will be here for a week. There will be new content below it.
Damn Griz.
