Definitely not Montana's Finest Hour. . .

Montana Hospitals Are Overflowing 
With Covid Patients


Gee, thanks, Governor...your plan is working just fine.  Our hospitals are bulging with many unvaccinated, hard-headed, freedom-loving, liberal-hating Republicans, but you still have your voting base with you and the Montana businesses are going gangbusters. What more could you want?  Other than Montanans getting terribly sick and bodies stacking up in morgues, you and the Montana Republican Legislature must be high-fiving and celebrating the good life!


We'll rename Montana "North Texas" and rework the phrase "The Last Best Place" to "The Last Worst Place."

How in the hell are we allowing this to happen?  Under what rock did we let these cretins crawl out from under and sell this idea that we'll just let people get sick and die in order to keep a horde of Republicans happy? 

Does the governor, attorney general, and other Republican members of the state legislature have a plan to pull the plug on their grand scheme after a certain number of Montanans are dead, or are they willing to ride it out to the "last man?"

As Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke used to say, "Partner, there are some things we just can't ride around" and this has to be one of them.  How can Montana let a gaggle of GOPers cause this much death and destruction?  

Montana's hospital crisis was featured on CNN this morning. We are now in the bad company of Idaho, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and others. 

There is one glaring detail about those states that I'm sure you've noticed. The death-defying Republicans are running each one of them into the ground. . .

literally!

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
