Welcome to February! Today in Iowa our country begins voting for President! Is this a great country or what?
Please take the polls at the end of this column about the Iowa caucus!
Today’s topics include:
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life. – Winston Churchill
Welcome to the Big Show – “Caught My Eye!”
If you are a first-time visitor, “Caught My Eye” is posted here every Friday morning. This column is where I take a look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week. Sometimes I throw in a touch of sarcasm to make you smile – or to irritate you just a little – maybe both.
Today I provide independent commentary about the Montana Legislature, Loretta Lynch & the Montana delegation, Adam Sanchez, Jr., & Cascade County, former Judge G. Todd Baugh, former General David Petraeus, and Barry Bonds. Plus, we have a winner who is Making Montana Proud!
Buckle up…
Congrats on making it to Wednesday – Hump Day! It’s time for Wednesday’s Political Potpourri!

-Netanyahu’s speech & reaction
-Republicans & private fundraisers
-Hillary’s e-mail issue
-Obamacare & the Supremes
-David Petraeus & his mistress
There’s a lot more, so read on…

It’s complicated. It’s troubling. It’s starting to get really interesting – plus it’s soap opera juicy. I can’t wait for the movie and book.
And we don’t even know all the details yet.
On Friday when it was first disclosed that CIA Director (and retired four-star General) David Petraeus had resigned over an extramarital affair, I thought how dumb could a person be holding a very important position (then I thought about President Clinton). I normally feel sad for the wife and children of the man who has been caught cheating.
