Sometimes It's a Group Fart

by: Carla Augustad

Mon May 06, 2013 at 03:05:39 AM MST

New Copper Kings  

Our Legislators are safely back home, but this state still reeks from all the crap some of the Republicans pulled to deny working people a chance to get their basic needs like healthcare, childhood nutrition, jobs,even homeowners tax relief met. Why would they do that to their friends and neighbors?  Perhaps the excellent Copper Kings has you  already be correctly guessing that the I will answer is because of the influence of the corporate bill mill called ALEC.  

Who is ALEC anyway? We generally think of ALEC as an interest group in service of the telecoms, school privatizers, pharmaceutical companies, fossil fuel industries and insurance, but we usually overlook one of the biggest stinkers in this pack of conspirators-tobacco. Tobacco.

Tobacco is represented in so many forms by firms like Centerpoint 360 and the Heartland Institute, by Phillip Morris International, by Reynolds American and by Altria. Altria alone usually spends 10-11 million dollars per year lobbying in DC  regarding all kinds of issues including the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Sometimes a Fart Is Just a Fart

by: Carla Augustad

Wed Apr 10, 2013 at 12:07:24 PM MST

&nbsp;

Sometimes it makes some noise and sometimes it&nbsp; slides silently by. When it is a real stinker like the business in the State House, the stench sticks around until it gets a really good airing out. 

Have you hear Amanda Curtis vent about it on the radio yet?

   In other words, that hour long session is only part of what you may or may not have noticed yet. What you hear at her daily documented YouTubes, you might start looking around, too.  Stay tuned, there is more on the way.  You will be surprised where it goes.

Advancing the Homosexual Agenda

by: Carla Augustad

Wed Apr 10, 2013 at 04:20:46 AM MST

foofy clansmen for tolerance

Representative Bryce Bennett, you are amazing, thank-you for having the courage to be true to yourself. I believe that helped Rep Akney to expose himself as a truly decent man in front of some of the most stingy spirited people to ever gather in one place.

I leave it up to you to decide which of the following two items is more indecent than the other. The first item is from the Montana Family Foundation - The Homosexual Agenda Advances.

The other item is from the Montana Cowgirl's post on Representative Dave Hagstrom's Theory of Sex, (although I have come to love the video because of the change that moves over Representative Ed Lieser's face- it is priceless).

Cowgirl listed the names of the people who voted against treating their fellow human beings with the decency and respect that every human being deserves simply for being human. I have singled the following out for a completely different reason.

HD 01 Gerald Bennett

HD 13 Pat Ingraham

HD 30 Bill Harris

HD 36 Austin Knudsen

HD 37David Halvorson

HD 39 Lee Randall

HD 46 Clayton Fiscus

HD 67Gordon Vance

HD 68 Kelly Flynn

HD H D 69 Ted Washburn

Latter Day Copper King and Misguided King of the Canyon

by: Carla Augustad

Tue Feb 12, 2013 at 05:28:30 AM MST

Max Nessman of Swan Valley airs his very entertaining thoughts on the legislative performance of Representatives Reichner and O'Neil.

"Just when we thought the state legislature could not be more useless, two of our local lawmakers proposed failed ideas retrieved from the musty shelves of history. Some of the proposals could be taken for the work of the insane or the terminally befuddled. In other words, the retreat from progress is being made in Helena at roughly the same pace as the session two years ago. And we are left to wish our legislators were leading the state in some way other than as drum majors of the biennial parade of fools."

What does the Fracking Wilkes brothers want from our legislature enough to fork out that kind of money?

Friday Night In Somers, Mt.

by: Carla Augustad

Tue Feb 12, 2013 at 02:44:13 AM MST

The story in the Daily Interlake did not mention what may have prompted 41-year-old Christopher Cassidy to start shooting his guns around Midnight on Friday, but he was reported to have fired off 80 to 100 rounds in a five plus hour stand off with a SWAT team.

It will be interesting to see if he gets more time for growing marijuana or for his armed shoot out with the police.
