Bozeman Area's Incubator of Bad Eggs...

The conservative incubator in the Bozeman, Montana area has had its share of bad eggs. Their loud clucking has filled the halls of the Montana Legislature the past two sessions.  Art Wittich, Tom Burnett, Matthew Monforton, and Kelly White have been loudly squawking in the Montana House and Scott Sales and Gordon Vance have infiltrated the Montana Senate.  The question now is:  Will the Bozeman area voters return them to their Helena 'Coop' next time?  

The incubator has even  hatched one strange bird of prey (Senator Steve Daines) onto the national scene,  and now has another one under the warmer and already showing cracks in the shell of the hatchling who wants to be our governor.

His name is Greg Gianforte and he might even be more predatory and perplexing than the Senator.  He has stashed away much more money - billions, according to reports - while Daines is  sitting on a mere tens of millions.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. 

Senator Daines has already fibbed to his constituents with votes he has cast in the U.S. Senate.  He has  'turned tail' on several of his campaign promises and has only given his votes -  and loyalty -  to the rich and powerful.  (Birds of a feather, so to speak)

    We mere mortals are far down on his list of priorities.

Do we really want a mega-millionaire and a multi-billionaire representing us in the United States Senate and the Montana Governor's Office?

    Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Conservative
    Tea Party Fanatics?

So far, not the voters.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
