Obama, being the Liberal he is, is adamantly opposed the the gas tax holiday McCain has proposed. I calculated that the savings to me over the summer would be a free tank of gas. I'm OK with that. Any little bit helps.
Now that we they have this new and very expensive swimming pool, many members of the Missoula Aquatic Club are complaining that their pool fees are going to increase!
Here's a little something I ran across today that I found very interesting and applicable today even though it was written in 1916 by William Graham Sumner.
Over the weekend, I had a lot of hits, several nasty emails and one comment, on my old Blogger post, Try Abstinence, It's Free.
I see many stories this time of year claiming Mary and Joseph (Jesus' parents) were a homeless couple when Jesus was born. Rob Chaney in the Missoulian even reported it yesterday in the article about the beating death of homeless veteran, Forrest Clayton Salcido. (emphasis mine)

Scoop did an excellent job in his post debunking Richard Buley's opinion piece that appeared in the print version of the Missoulian Sunday, October 21. When I read the piece I saw a couple of things Mr. Buley asserted that I want to address.
This is my first episode without a script, scary! I have a silly intro then go into my journey from being a Liberal leaning moderate to the Conservative I am today. I finish up with a bit of a ramble on debate which I plan on exploring further in a future episode.
Catching up on my newspapers this morning I ran across this letter to the editor in the Missoulian.
When I read this, I was a bit put off that Democratic Rep. Kendall Van Dyk would propose renters get a $400 rent equivalent property tax rebate. I was ready to fire off a post decrying what a rotten idea it was to redistribute people's earnings this way.
