The Hammond Report

• I hate to point it out once more, well not really, but the «anomaly» of the Surge seems to be continuing. Uh, Colby...
• Obama plays the race card even when with no race mentioned. Here's the ad.  Nice job McCain campaign!
• Have you heard about John Edwards, former Democrat VP candidate and possible Obama VP?  Seems like he's having an affair. Isn't his wife fighting terminal cancer right now?  He's a class act.

• Obama shows his support of our troops by blowing them off when he found out he couldn't use the event as a photo op.  He claims it would seem too political if he visited them. Nice try, nice lie.
• Obama should be 20 to 30 points ahead in polling with the way the MSM is treating him and the horrible campaign McCain is running.  Dems should be concerned.
• Obama bashes America again.  Inspiring.
• The Democrat Led House, issues a formal apology to blacks for slavery.  Didn't we fight a war over this over a hundred years ago?  Isn't that apology enough?
• Weird how gas prices are dropping now that supply is exceeding demand.  That darn free market.
• The Montana Democrats are going after the 18-20 year old vote by supporting legislation to lower the drinking age to 18.  I agree the drinking age should be 18.  Republicans should have thought of this first!
• I love the Missoula Bicycle Ambassadors out there educating the public.  Keep up the good work!
• LA bans fast food outlets because the poor are getting too fat.  Huh??!!
• Good for the Governor for supporting the oil pipline that will run through the state.
• Has anybody tried the new search engine, cuil?  I've tried it but don't like it so far.  Google still works best for me.

Not to be outdone by the City of Missoula's increased gas tax proposal, Missoula County is proposing a tax increase to finance $16 Million of the $26 Million Emergency Operations Center. Of course, taxpayers will hardly notice the increase.

The Missoula City Government Council is considering slapping a two cent tax on gas to help pay for some much needed road work and repair.   With fuel prices at record levels and people struggling to make ends meet (thanks to the Democrat controlled congress and environmentalists), the local government has decided they need to increase taxes to make their ends meet.  Have they considered making some hard choices and cutting some expenses and programs?  My family certainly has.  I didn't consider going to my employer and asking for a raise because right now, I'm happy to have a job and a paycheck.  My employer had to make some difficult choices and cuts.  So did I. So should our local government.  Just don't take any more out of my pocket!
