I’m Calling…
Junior U.S. Senator, Jon Tester, D-Mont., calls for Attorney General Gonzales to resign. I doubt the “call” was even answered. I have my doubts that anything like a call, letter, e-mail, from Jon Tester (the 100th ranked Senator) will push the President to fire Gonzales or for Gonzales to suddenly say, “Oh no, Sen. Tester says I should resign, so it must be time for me to leave.”
But, it is getting Sen. Tester some press (that has to be his goal) as it is ridiculous how the press in Montana eats this stuff up like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day in Glendive.

Immigration…
The Senate won’t finish the Immigration bill (S. 1348) before their Memorial Day vacation. That’s not too surprising. After they hear from their constituents, they may never finish it.

Money for Montana?
I read that the House Military Construction and Veterans’ Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee approved a $109.2 bill for veterans and military construction today with NO EARMARKS. It’s a long way from being done, but that does not look good for Montana.

Who will be the sacrificial lambs for Max and Brian?
It’s getting close to Memorial Day weekend and before we forget about the last episodes of “Lost” or “24” or “American Idol” it would be a good time to make an announcement before everyone heads off for summer vacation. If not, the next date would be right after Labor Day when people start paying attention again. Come out, come out, wherever you are…

Why do they have to do that…
We all are getting older. That’s a fact. One thing I’ve seen recently that makes getting older worse is that some the “babes” from my younger years are now on TV selling stuff for things like osteoporosis and menopause. Gee whiz. Why do they have to do that? I see Sally Field and Cheryl Ladd on these commercials almost every night. It’s a downer to say the least.

Back in the days of Sally and Cheryl, my life was a lot like the movie, “Dazed and Confused.” As David Wooderson (played in the movie by Matthew McConaughey) said,
“That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.”

Yep, it seemed that way until about age 25… and some may think I’ve never grown up…Rock On…
