Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself. – Joseph Campbell
Today the following items caught my attention:
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. – John F. Kennedy
Welcome to Wednesday! Today is one of those days in which there are several stories out there that I want to comment about – so it’s another “Odds & Ends” day!
Here are today’s topics:
When there are several political stories out there that I want to comment about, I combine them into a “potpourri” column.
Are you excited or what?
Today I provide commentary about a blogger’s feud between The Flint Report and Intelligent Discontent, State Rep. Mike Miller & No Wrongdoing, State Sen. Taylor Brown & running for governor, the President’s Job Approval Rating, and much more!
Congratulations – you’ve made it to Friday – now buckle your seatbelt for “Caught My Eye.”
If you are a first-time visitor, “Caught My Eye” is posted right here every Friday morning! This is when 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 – or maybe both.
Everyone and everything is fair game.
Today I write about Ryan Zinke, Intelligent Discontent, Powder River Training Complex, Montana CBS & DirecTV, snow plowing, Ben Carson & plagiarism, term limits, National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and much more.
Welcome to “Caught My Eye” – the 214th edition of the non award-winning Friday column.
If you are a first-time visitor, “Caught My Eye” is posted right here every Friday morning! This is when I take a look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week. I often throw in a touch of sarcasm to make you smile – or to irritate you just a little – or both.
Today I write about fundraising on 9/11, Montana’s awful political coverage, dumb voters, the weather report, plus we have a winner who is making Montana proud!
Besides putting together the “Special Nominating Convention” to find a U.S. Senate candidate to run against Republican Steve Daines and Libertarian Roger Roots, the Montana Democrats continue to go after Republican U.S. House candidate Ryan Zinke about his military service.
It’s all hands on deck as the Democrats have probably surmised that they will lose the Senate seat and defeating Zinke is their best bet. Now a few Montana blogs are chiming in about Zinke and his military service.
They are starting to look a little desperate.
One day until primary Election Day here in Montana! Are you ready? ARE. YOU. READY?
