Dan Quayle’s creepo 33-year-old son is running for office in Arizona. Watch for the odd ducking movement 3/4 of the way in. Then watch these parody response ads here and here. UPDATE: For those of you reading this blog at work (you know who you…
In an election year where Montana’s Congressman claims Facebook and Twitter are more reliable than the press because they don’t “filter” his message, the messages right-wing candidates and aides send out on social media is coming through loud and clear. For example, the Missoula Independent looked…
We’ve all been hearing a lot about how great the new education jobs bill will be for Montana. But as the number of Montana food stamp recipients reaches record levels, some say the newly passed $26 billion jobs bill will hurt Montana’s food stamp recipients…
In two separate and unrelated cases this week, judges have refused to throw out criminal charges against two of embattled Montana member of Congress Dennis Rehberg’s top associates. This week, a federal judge has refused to throw out any corruption charges against Kevin Ring, the high-priced…
After just one issue, it has come to light that the Montana Viewpoint, the Montana Tea Party’s attempt at printing its own “unfiltered” news, is already having trouble making budget. Tim Ravndal, (pictured) is a leading Helena tea-bagger and “Director of Grassroots Coalitions” (a.k.a. tea-bagging)…
Often times I’ve served up criticism of the Montana press, for being apathetic, lazy, stupid, incompetent, corrupt, and, in some cases, conservative leaning due to right-wing corporate ownership. Well, here is another serving from that platter. In late March, you might recall, Denny Rehberg announced…
Though Rehberg has been criticized for his recent merger with the Tea-Party-conspiracy-theory-prayer-email-forwarders, evidence has recently come to light that his embattled campaign is seeing some benefits to the alliance. The disruption and thuggery that are the Tea-bag crusade weapons of choice are now serving to…
Is now up over at Wulfgar’s place. We all love a “Bitterrooter” story, but this is something much darker.
Word on the street in Sanders County is that the Sanders County Republican Party Chairman, Michael Hashisaki, has gone rogue, angering many of his fellow local party members. Sources say Hashisaki is encouraging not one but two Republican candidates who lost in the Republican primaries…
You know that old saying that you get the enemies you deserve? Progressive organizations in Montana appear to have enemies that a dried up potato deserves. It almost makes you feel bad for the other side. A jumble of words from a man who…
As the T.E.A. Party/Eric Olsen’s campaign against the city of Billings possibly banning cell phones (he believes the UN is involved) takes shape (largely in the form of email forwards) it has at last become clear why Congressman Denny Rehberg is a natural fit in…
Back in the day in Dillon, Montana, a group of misfits grown bored with scratching their initials into rocks and trees were sitting around behind the potato cellar and came up with an idea. This wasn’t just any idea, it was an idea that would…
We know that Montana Republican Party Director Bowen Greenwood is a career political operative who rose up to be an acolyte of political failure Brad Johnson, one of a very few incumbents ever to be ousted rather than termed. We know that Greenwood, the candidate, couldn’t win…
Kudos to Montana Senator Jon Tester for urging the U.S. Coast Guard to use home-grown Montana technology to help clean up some of the oil spilled in the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. In a press release, Tester said that a Montana company that…
