Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all on the left and the right,
who make Cowgirl blog a cow-blog-worthy site.
Happy New Year to all of my commenter friends
on whose contributions the Cowgirl depends.
To Kralj and to Wulfgar, to Fatso who’s jumbo,
to Farmboy, Viola, and George3 and Gumbo.
And even to Coobs,
who should smoke a few medical doobs,
and relax and be happy on this New Year’s day.
And a Happy one, GOP leaders and goons,
for taking all of the Cowbabe’s lampoons.
Like Deschamps and Dave Lewis, and Derek and Brad,
(all closeted fans of the new Cowgirl fad,)
They make readers glad, for the exploits they’ve had,
oft’ hippo-sized hypocrites, but still sort of rad,
‘cuz they take the abuse from Cowpie’s scratch pad.
(I hope they don’t hate me too bad.)
To Ravndal for putting Cowgirl on the map,
To Adams of Trib, to Gouras of AP,
To Leg members, on their way in and way out,
The Ds who did lose, the Rs who did rout,
To Denny and Barkus,
‘bout whom we talked smack,
and gave lots of flack,
for having too high a BAC.
And a merry day even to Kristi Gailushas,
for her anti jihadist jihad, so delicious,
as Gailushas-ly delicious as Skees’s militias,
And to the stampeding great Tea Party herd,
the butt of many a Cow gal bad word.
They’ll be in Helena, January 3rd,
with torches and pitchforks, undeterred
from voting up concepts completely absurd,
which will, on this blog, be immediately slurred,
as the policy equal of turd from a bird.
To Roy, who we’ll miss in this upcoming session,
To Rick Hill, who gives us an old indiscretion,
To Bozeman’s Burnett, though hateful they say,
may he find that his heart grows two sizes today.
And good tidings even to the James Knox-a-claus,
who, despite Cowgirl’s rant,
(which I, just this Day, could in theory recant–
heck, I called him everything but a penile implant)
found a way, with his belly and over-sized pants,
to win big and take Helena with a Ho Ho Ho,
right back at Cowgirl
who will have to eat crow.
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas from Cowgirl,
and a Happy, Healthy (and Sober) 2011!!!!
Back ATCHA, Cowgirl with your happy new year.
I’m thankful your blog is still kickin’ and here!
Who KNOWS just how crazy the Lege will get,
With the kooks that we’ve sent there, it’s ANYone’s bet!
The nuts will be struttin’ their victory strut.
Thinkin’ they’ve got whole state by the nuts!
With the corpos a’followin’ right on their butts!
And the teabaggers hollerin’ for even more cuts!
And the Fundis all preachin’ bout our sinful ruts!
And me I’m a’thinkin’ that Montana’s gone nuts!
Will that pendulum ever swing back to the left,
Or is Montana of sanity ENTIREYLY bereft?
While the corpos prepare for a HUGE corporate theft!
At stealing our resources they’re extremely adept!
Again I think that it’s anyone’s guess
If we can get out of this terrible mess!
But as bad as things get when we’re under duress,
Your site brings great insight to our fearful stress!
And for that I thank you and wish you a Happy new year!
If I could reach thru that screen I’d buy you a beer!
HAPPY NEW YEAR COWGIRL MAY WE ALL HAVE A BLESSED 2011 AND MY I NOT GO CRAZY WITH THE TEABAGGERS IN CHARGE HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL EVEN REPUBLICANS AND TEABAGGERS
Happiest of the New Year to You Cowgirl and your partner in grime! This is by far one of the most politically entertaining sites in the bloggesphere and I will continue to watch and weigh in during the New Year, and if our illustrious Governor keeps sticking both of his cowboy boots in his mouth at the same time like he did when he popped off at the chops about the Legislators being a bunch of drunks it’s going to be not only an interesting Legislative Session but a very long and grusome upcoming campaign season!
About 2 weeks prior to Christmas my phone rang one evening and low and behold, I was being ‘polled’. The questions were very typical of a good political poll but the question that really took me back was “In the race for the United States Senate in Montana would you support Brian Schweitzer as an Independent candidate”?
Yes, it’s going to be an interesting year all right because it would appear that the good Gov. is about to start to dance the political two-step with the doo-see-doo away from the democrats and morph himself into an ‘independent’……very interesting, very interesting in deed!
Can you even IMAGINE Schweitzer winning as an independent? He would be beholden to NO one, or no one party. I like it. It’s very Montanaish. He wouldn’t have to dance with them that brung’im! He could borrow Max’s slogan and run as Montana’s senator. I would support him against Max ANY day. I gave up on Max long ago.
Interesting stuff. What were some of the other questions in the poll?
Ummm. Larry – he would be running against Tester – not Max.
I got the same “poll” three weeks ago, but it was clearly a voter ID call not a poll. Lots of questions about a lot of politicians, but they were mining for information about potential primary voters. My money says this was another Steve Daines voter ID call. He’s trying to figure out who the real voters are in his republican primary and weed out the soft republicans and independent voters.
Thanks for the shoutout Cowgirl and Happy New Year to you too darlin’
Interesting news on the poll-do we know who is behind it?
This is a standard voter ID technique. Got two of these in the past couple two months. They act like digital polls, but they’re really trying to figure out if I am a real republican or just a leaner. I even got asked if I would support Racicot as an independent. LOL!
I got one of the polling calls and a woman asked me if I would support B.S. or Max Baucus in 2014. I said neither.
This poll is likely a GOP funded poll for Rehberg testing various opponents.
Id vote for Schweitzer over Baucus any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Sweet Jesus the man is getting married to his former state director who he nominated to be Montana’s US attorney, then she got a job at the justice department. You cant tell me there was no political favoritism there. Then top off his performance as senate finance committee chairman back in the summer of 09 with healthcare this guy is a dud. Schweitzer on the other hand had been the best dam governor this state has had in my lifetime so I say yes lets elect Schweitzer US senator.
All ya’ll do realize that Schweitzer would fit right into Washington DC and the politics as usual. He would be chomping through expensive steaks and wine like nobody’s business. He’d be accountable to no one and would have the world kissing his ass.
The US Senate is an EGOMANIAC’s dream come true.
Also, Baucus will be getting a major boost to his intelligence with Melodee permanently at his side. And we all know he could use a brain transplant.
Also, Happy New Year to you too sowgirl.
A simple resolution for you– don’t put fatso’s comments on moderation. I don’t like having to change names.
Maybe you should try chaging your DIET, tubby, inSTEAD of your handle! Say, is this Knox? Or maybe jim peterson, the buffalo? Man! How DO you Pubbies GET so damn fat? Ever heard of gettin’ your fatass off the couch? But hey, I heard that you morons alREADY brought a lot of new jobs to Helena, WHACK jobs! Is that true?
People like you alienate about 90% of the population from ever wanting to be liberal.
I wish we could clone you, keep up the good work Larry.
Thank you. I rarely get compliments, so any are appreciated.
Cowgirl is now the poet lariat of Montana’s liberal blogosphere. Congratulations.
There once was a blogger named Cowgirl,
Who daily good gossip would unfurl,
She skewered the right,
Earning whoops of delight,
And truth to the powers she did hurl.
Nice! Thanks James and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you, Cowgirl! I’m looking forward to your spot-on reporting, even when it makes some uncomfortable.
Happy New Year, Cowgirl. I’m glad you’re in Helena where all the Republican misbehavior will occur beginning this week.
Do you know about the Missoula Democrats’ effort to keep tabs on the miscreants? I heard they’ll have a website that will track how members of the both houses vote.
