American Marijuana Policy - an allegory.

By kgb999 on Mon, 02/02/2009 - 10:14pm |
A man walks down a sidewalk.  Another man says "Don't walk down that sidewalk, I'll ruin your life".  The first man, says "I've walked on this sidewalk my whole life, and I'm quite successful. You must be mistaken".  The second...

I take it back (update).

By kgb999 on Thu, 01/29/2009 - 2:48am |
Well, I'm embarrassed to say that our new democratic congressperson in Idaho is one of the 11 who voted against the stimulus package.  I'm not sure what this means for my long-term support of the man, but today I am...

By kgb999 on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 2:31pm |
For all of you who seem to think that Burris is such a decent and honest (totally rejected by Illinois voters time and time again) guy who would never engage in any sort of quid-pro-quo ... this just in. ...the...

I've noticed Blue Dog Democrats are viewed with roughly the same level of disdain as Joe Lieberman and head lice.Up here in Idaho, we worked our butts off to unseat one of the worst examples of GOP idiocy ever to...

By kgb999 on Fri, 12/05/2008 - 2:10am |
FDL's Jane Hamsher has an article on Huffington Post (with this title) presenting an angle to the automotive issue I'd never seen before.  Apparently foreign automakers are already incentivized with tax dollars to compete with our own corporations.[in Alabama] We...

A Democratic Congressman from Idaho (as predicted).

By kgb999 on Wed, 11/05/2008 - 2:42pm |
Taking advantage of the severe mental defects (terminal GOPtardation) exhibited by the incumbent and a national party newly willing to give attention to ignored constituencies, Walt Minnick has been elected as democratic congressperson for the 1st district of Idaho.Congratulations to...

Republican robocalls in Idaho.

By kgb999 on Wed, 10/29/2008 - 3:10am |
I just got a call from the robotic twin of 'ole Mittens Romney on behalf of our erstwhile gravity-hating congressmoron Bill Sali(ID-1).  It's the first contact in over a month and came from some committee, not the campaign.  I was...

Get ready for a democrat from Idaho.

By kgb999 on Wed, 10/22/2008 - 5:43am |
I'm so excited I could just burst!  I have been watching my local congressional race - in blood-red Idaho and doing a bit of clandestine campaigning.  As I have mentioned previously, the congressional race in Idaho's 1st is way closer...
