Your friendly independent blogger happened to catch the following stories/issues over the weekend:
I have commentary about each one – so read on…
A fool and his money are soon elected. – Will Rogers
Welcome to “Thursday Numbers!” In case you’re a first-time visitor, this is the weekly column where I take a look at the numbers that are in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary sometimes sprinkled with sarcasm.
This week’s topics include unemployment, Greg Gianforte, Bar-S Foods, the oldest American, Hillary and our guns, Mike Pence, support for police officers, Ted Cruz, the Republican National Convention, the Democratic National Convention, and much more!
We’re starting to see campaign signs pop up across the state! There are only 57 days until the General Election Day (Nov. 6) and 29 days until absentee ballots are mailed (Oct. 9 in Montana).
I am still undecided on most races – how about you?
Welcome to Monday and Monday Morning Politics! Today I take a look at a defining issue in the Montana Governor’s race, 95 or 97 percent, a last hurrah, strike, convention polls, Ohio, national polls, and much more!
Welcome to Friday – TGIF! We are now 60 days from Election Day and this Sunday/Monday the rest of the National Football League teams kick off their season – and college football season is well underway – so there’s plenty of “sports” to watch from now until November!
First visit? If this is your first time visiting The Western Word the “Caught My Eye” column is posted every Friday morning right here! It’s where I take a quick look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week – and I often throw in a touch of sarcasm just to make you smile.
Today I take a look at the Democratic National Convention, the jobs report, speeches from Schweitzer, Biden, and Obama, I write about Ohio, plus I share a few e-mails from my political inbox. There’s a lot more!

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) started yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina, and there were some great speeches delivered throughout the afternoon and into the evening. If you like great speeches it was well worth watching!
Today I write about the debt, Nancy Keenan, Julián Castro, Michelle Obama, Denise Juneau, the Brian Schweitzer sideshow, and much more.
Welcome to Tuesday! I know it feels like Monday! Since my column on Friday, there has been a lot happening in the political world – it was a busy weekend just keeping up with it!
Typically Labor Day is the time when the campaigns kick into high gear and voters start noticing. With about 63 days until Election Day, it is crunch time! You’ll see more columns here at The Western Word – more than my typical one per day, five days a week! I am going into overdrive – so you should subscribe to keep up!
This week I’ll be watching the Democratic National Convention and you can count on some lines devoted to it on this website and, of course, some tweets.
Today I write about Karl Rove and murder, Paul Ryan and marathons, Democratic Convention attendees, the AP and undecideds, debates in Montana, Campaign Ad watch, and much more…
