This weekend was a great one! Nice fall weather for the kids to go trick or treating. The smell of fall leaves and laughter in the air as kids scatter what parents have worked so hard to rake up. The constant ringing of my cell phone as those running for office so persistantly...

OK, here I go. Getting on my soapbox for just a few moments.
It's time to get out and VOTE! I don't usually tell folks what to do, but when it comes to exercising our rights I get a little vocal.
No matter what your party affiliation or view on the issues is, we need to make our opinions...

THE BATTLE ISN'T OVER
The Supreme Court's 5 to 4 decision, overturning the Washington D.C. ban on citizens keeping a handgun in the home for self defense, was hailed as a long awaited victory by firearm owners across the nation. Although this is an important and historic decision...

This thing was orchestrated a long time ago. They're not making mistakes, just playing by the script.
Jeremiah Wright, who performed Obama's marriage and baptized both of his children, appears unremorseful about the fiery sermons that made their way on to YouTube and led to his ouster from...

I really enjoyed reading this letter to the editor, written by Eugene Sant, which appeared in Sunday's Idaho State Journal.
Sant uses very colorful language to express his views. I found the work very entertaining.

Unfortunately, I am going to disagree with those who continue to condemn Obama for his choice in church attendance. This is a non-issue. This debate has no significance in the broader question of who should be the next President.
Overall, I do not think the mission or...

Well, I already posted the clip from earlier this week of Mike Huckabee defending Obama. That was impressive. But now, hell itself might be freezing over & I think I just saw a pig fly by my window:
Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News Sunday, called in...

Well, I've been giving a lot of media play to Obama on this blog... how about some room for a conservative? Watch the video to see what Huckabee thinks about Rev. Wright & Obama's speech.

Today, in the Boise Weekly, opinion editor Bill Cope expressed concern that young voters would drop out of the political game if Obama doesn't receive the Democratic nomination for president:
More to the point, can we count on you to be there for Hillary like you can count on us to be...

The energy of this election year has me reflecting on Idaho's deep role in the larger picture.
Interestingly, even our own political pundits sometimes underestimate us:

Pocatello police used a Taser to help arrest a suicidal man Sunday, the Idaho State Journal reports.
The use of such alternative weapons is in its infancy, but it is a topic which needs to be vastly and deeply explored.
The potential benefits of such weapons is great.

Hillary Clinton: Historical Revisionist
Since Hillary Clinton has now won in New Hampshire, I felt I ought to look at her campaign more closely. The problem was where to start? What should I review? What didn’t I know that I ought to know?
I felt that I already knew quite a bit...
