The Bawdry Bozone...

 
 
Listen my children and you shall hear,
the pitiful sounds that we all fear.
 
The names of Sales and "Dollar Signs" Daines,
and Greg "The Thug", Oh Lord, the pains.
 
 
 
    Bozeman is a beautiful town nestled in the mountains of Montana where once-proud folks gathered to take in the splendor of all they possess.  The Montana State University, dining places to behold, excellent accommodations for the weary travelers, and some of the state's best fishing and skiing sites.
 
   The political scene was once something to behold, too.  The recent past political scene, however, ...not so much.
 
   So what have the town fathers been dumping into the city water supply?  They have spawned such slippery creatures as Steve Daines (U.S. Senate and Former U.S. House), Greg Gianforte (U.S. House) Body-slammer of pesky question-asking news people, Scott Sales (State Senate President) who is trying to give $8 million of our tax money to the southern border "wall/barrier", and various lesser right-wing creatures, as well.
 
   I find it strange that this clump of like-minded nincompoops all hail from one pristine area.
 
   So, to find the answer,  I beat a path to this town known by some as the "Bozone."  I parked on the main street and saw happy, busy people scurrying along the sidewalks as if not a care in the world.  Didn't they know their political world was falling down around their ears?
 
   I grabbed my pen, note pad, and strong will and stepped out of the car, ready to get my first interview. 
 
   Me:  "Excuse me, ma'am, but could I ask you a question or two?"
 
   Ma'am:  "Get the hell out of my way, liberal"...and now I am looking up at the sky as I lay body-slammed to the curb.
 
   Well, maybe this was just a one-time thing.  And I got up and headed to the next interview.
 
   Me:  "Excuse me, sir, but could I...."  And now I am looking up, once again, at that beautiful blue sky.
 
   But there is someone coming down the walk who looks familiar.  This is going to go much better.
 
   Me:  "Excuse me, sir, but..."  And there's that same damn shitty-colored sky, again!
 
   But, all was not lost.  I think I finally have this mystery about Bozone all figured out.  They have an over-abundance of terrible politicians, that is very true.  But, because of that,  they also have a real boat load of terrible voters, too!
 
   On my way out of town, I stopped to pick up the hometown newspaper.  I found an ad across the bottom of the front page that read: 'For Sale - A boat load of Right-Wing, Conservative, Trump-Lovin', maniacs FOR SALE...CHEAP!  Bring your own handcuffs and leg irons...some are dangerous!' 
 
   And some are even politicians!

    name calling intensifies the divisions. I am surprised you found 2 conservatives in Bozeman. Oh, and it was the alfalfa fields, cattle and sheep peacefully grazing, cowboy bars and friendliness that once made Bozeman beautiful.

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

It's immoral to even let him run for office. . .

  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
