New Website:
Brian the Bully. Now citizens can anonymously report bullying from Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer. I hope they have the server capacity!

October Politics:
Shoring up his votes in the Great Falls area, U.S. Senator Max Baucus and his side-kick, Jon Tester, asked the Air Force to add Malmstrom Air Force Base to the list of possible sites for a new command center to oversee the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

Maybe they should have asked them not to take 50 missiles? How about delivering something to Malmstrom, instead of just asking?

Counsel or Counselor:
It seems the Governor’s employee, Eric Stern, is not licensed to practice law in Montana. The Billings Gazette reports, “But Stern said he wasn’t doing much legal work and concluded that he didn’t need to take the three-day test.”

So, would a person need a law license even if “he wasn’t doing much legal work”? Is that like being a “little pregnant”?

Travels with Jon:
Montana Senator Jon Tester is campaigning for Barack Obama in Reno, Nevada. I hope he watches out for the folks from Reno 911. I hear they are suffering from some funding problems, too.

I also enjoyed reading the fundraising e-mail from Senator Tester asking me to donate to comedian Al Franken. Tester writes, “Folks, I know Al Franken, and I know he’s exactly the breath of fresh air Washington needs. But what he needs — what we all need to get him elected — is you.”

Maybe Jon should have watched THIS.
