The Missoulian ran a front page story extolling the benefits of a new Missoula grocery community Co-Op. The primary reason behind the Co-Op is to combat high food prices due to the majority of a conventional grocery store's expenses being in labor and payroll.
President Bush is on a roll! After his comments in Israel the other day on the folly of appeasement and now his comments in Egypt about how to solve the current oil problems.
Bush said the following while giving a speech in Israel addressing the Knesset.
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.
I read this Missoulian article yesterday and was struck by a couple of things. First was this which seems to be a recipe for voting more then once in the primary (emphasis mine):
After reading this about nine protesters at the UM yesterday conducting a sit-in in President George Dennison's office demanding the U adopt an anti sweatshop labor program, I came to the conclusion that these folks were a bunch of phonies and cowardly.
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!
The Missoulian (I can't get the Missoulian web site to load) ran a story about UM students sleeping in the Oval last night in order to show support and solidarity for the homeless and hungry during Hunger Awareness Week. I have trouble understanding how this does any good. Does it help the homeless out of their plight? Does it encourage the students to become homeless? Just the fact the students are attending college pretty much assures they won't be homeless. They have the work ethic, the drive, and the ambition to make something of their lives. Now if they end up addicted to drugs or alcohol, their situation may change and they may truly become one with the homeless or hungry.
I've been totally lazy about blogging lately but I read a great letter to the editor in the Missoulian today.
