So yesterday I posited the idea of running for the Democrats as a non-Democrat, and not in the Bernie Sanders kind of why. I can’t say I’d do the same for the Republicans, at least not at this time. The first reason is that the Democratic party has, at least locally, accepted the notion that… Continue reading Running for the Republicans

And your new Democratic candidate is… Not a Democrat
Dear God, help us! Heh. Still between that article, and another one I read but cannot find, the Montana Democrats are in need of a few good candidates. Perhaps I should throw my hat into the ring as the kind of candidate they need. You see, I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican any… Continue reading And your new Democratic candidate is… Not a Democrat
137 Days
If you had a bucket list, a list of things that had to get done, changes that needed to be made, and you gave yourself a time limit. Could you get them done? Or, in committing to get them done, would you know what you wanted to do? Can you imagine change, accomplishment? What could… Continue reading 137 Days
A take on the healthcare plan
Economix had a fun tear down of the current plan put forth by the President and the GOP to replace the current ACA. The author’s politics run counter to Trump’s and the far right, but he does a pretty good job of keeping it real from an economic standpoint. He also points out that one… Continue reading A take on the healthcare plan

To each their own…decision.
I happened to be reading this article when my oldest son looked over my shoulder and started reading along with me. This lead to a conversation of sorts with him, which I rather enjoyed. At first my son was actively against the shop owners. He said he would have sued the owners, too. Not because… Continue reading To each their own…decision.
They’re just thinking of the children…
http://news.msn.com/us/in-calif-district-students-facebook-posts-are-closely-watched What’s the best way to trial a service designed to monitor what people are saying and thinking outside of a particular environment? Why, disguise it as a means to protect children, of course! The firm referenced in the article is providing a valuable service by snooping on what America’s children are writing and saying… Continue reading They’re just thinking of the children…
Letting the past go
When I was a teenager it was a common practice to assume that nobody ever changed. What I mean by this is, if somebody had stated an opinion on something a year ago, it was common knowledge that they still felt that way today. Growth, evolution of thought and philosophy was not a big part… Continue reading Letting the past go
