At Death’s Door

As Forrest Gump would say, “I have a cough due to cold,” so I have been lying around doing nothing for the last few days. To all my female readers out there: It’s true. Men are wimps when it comes to colds and flu. When we get a cold or the flu, we are as close to death as a person can possibly be. The world stops. It’s just that way.

Pimped Out

Some folks may have thought my absence from blogging was because I had been “pimped out” for a campaign, but no. Maybe it was the prescription cough medicine I took, but I thought I heard that MSNBC had a copyright on the phrase “pimped out” and that David Shuster would soon be writing and reporting for Lee Newspapers or the Montana AP. Just kidding.

Challenged

Denny has a challenger. Denny has a challenger. The Montana Democrats have finally found a challenger to take on Congressman Denny Rehberg. Supposedly Jim Hunt will announce today that he is “the man” to take on Rehberg. I wonder how it feels to be the third or fourth choice of your party? I imagine Hunt will say that he will do away with earmarks, and soon we’ll hear from Nancy Pelosi telling Montanans that Hunt will get a seat on the House Appropriations committee. Fool the voters once…
