A very sad day....

The death toll of American soldiers in Iraq has passed the 2,000 mark.

Rosa Parks, one of America's few real heroes, died last night.

Paul Wellstone died three years ago today.

And a month from today comes the day I dread more than any other day, Black Friday or the day after Thanksgiving, where every person who works in retail becomes the victim of crazy shoppers who will stop at nothing to save a couple of bucks.....

BUT on a happier note it was reported today in the New York Times that it was in fact Dick Cheney who told Scooter Libby about Plame's identity...hmmm....

Kids in America

Note- This is something that has been commented on by others, particularly my buddy Wulfgar, but I had to add my two cents, as this story is a new one to me.

So there is a new set of "Olsen twins" and they are 13 year old Lynx and Lamb, the duo who makes up a pop group called Prussian Blue. But get this....they are white supremacists!!!!

Don't believe me? Check out their website www.prussianblue.net, which is complete with a story about them being banned from a county fair, a National Vanguard Link, a quote by the girls that they enjoy being pretty, and a link to by their latest c.d. "blonde hair, blue eyes".

WHAT???

How are 13 year olds white supremacists? I mean with the basic concept I understand that everyone, no matter how crazy their ideals are, can procreate and pass their crazy ideas on to children, but this just seems bizarre to me. These parents passed on extremely hateful views onto their children, who will then be able to persuade other 13 year old girls to believe the same things.

Here are some of the lyrics to one of their songs.......

"Well sit down and listen, to what I have to say. Soon will come a great war, a bloody but holy day. And after that purging our people will be free, and sing up in the bright skies, a sun for all to see……. Times are very tough now for a proud White man to live. And although it may appear that this world has no life to give. Times are soon changing, this cant go on or long. And on that joyful summer’s day we’ll sing our Victory song….."

This makes me so sad.

Did you know.........

............ that there is an upcoming city commission election in Bozeman on November 8th? Well if not, its not too late to get informed, and there is an event made just for you coming up.

What: City Commission Forum
When: Wednesday October 26th at 7:00 p.m.
Where: MSU Strand Union Ballrooms

The forum will be moderated by Adjunct Professor David Shrupp, and will be co-sponsored by ASMSU, the ASMSU Exponent, the MSU College Democrats, and the MSU College Republicans.

If you live in Bozeman come and get informed. I know who I am voting for already, but do you?

You know you are a Republican when......

...you use sleaze ball Leo Giacometto to raise money on top of the millions of dollars you already have. Check out Matt's take on this at Left in the West if you don't know what I am talking about. I can't write anymore about it. I am too disgusted.

Where did I go?

I'm not really sure. I HATE playing the busy card but to lay it out there I have three jobs, am a full time student, and I'm volunteering for many numerous things (some poltical some social), so I'm sorry if I have been mute lately.

Not much to report on the Bozeman front, actually its spookily calm for one month before a city commission race.
