Surprising

Candidate participation is abysmal — again

Once again, the majority of Montana legislative candidates have ignored the public interest and failed to participate in the survey conducted by the nonpartisan Project Vote Smart.

And for the first time in the past three election cycles, one of Montana's statewide candidates — Democratic Senate nominee Jon Tester — also chose not to participate.

I am really quite surprised by this. The hype I read all over about Jon Tester would lead me to believe that this populist man would openly answer the questions and state his views. By not doing so it makes a person wonder why. A big blunder on his part. I can't wait to see the defense of this blunder by his fans or will they just ignore it. We'll find out.

Priorities

So, there is nothing in our country, or the world, more important for the President to deal with than the Gay marriage issue? Spiraling deficits, corruption, energy policy, Iraq, Iran, Inflation or many other things all take a back burner to this all important issue?

SOMEBODY AROUND HERE NEEDS TO GET THEIR PRIORITIES IN ORDER AND IT SURE ISN'T ME.

I guess I will never understand politicians and the motivations that drive them. This is probably a good thing too, if I thought like them, I would be like them and that is one scary thought.

There's no sense talking about priorities. Priorities reveal themselves. We're all transparent against the face of the clock. Eric Zorn

The fog lifting off the hills after a light rain storm. It's sure been wet this fall as compared to how dry it was all summer. No complaints from me though. I'm sure the beet farmers are complaining. This kind of weather makes it tough to pull beets. Taken 10/10/2006.
