Say it ain’t so Denny!

Damn straight Keith Ternes!
I am a law abiding citizen, for the most part. I have a healthy respect for laws and law enforcement, most of the time. I may violate an occasional traffic law by exceeding the speed limit or by...

Senate Bill 2326…don’t drink the Kool-Aid!
It is a good thing I don’t live in Bismarck. Heaven only knows how much time I would spend at the Capitol frothing at the mouth while trying to convey to legislators the idiocy of some of the things...

Can I get an AMEN??!!
I am really trying to not be judgmental or unfair today; as such, I won’t be going on a full-blown rant on hypocrisy (which was my initial inclination – it took me a full two hours to find my way off...

Commonsense delivered by Dr. Thomas Jacobsen…

Putting it in context…
Troy Becker at The Forum created a map that illustrated the “swath of the Oklahoma tornado if it had hit the F-M area.” The map quickly puts into context the breadth of the devastation in Oklahoma and...

I hear you Rachel Thomas…

2.3 million gallons in 22 months…
My reference point for a gallon is a milk jug. I imagine we go through somewhere close to 50 gallons of milk a year around here. Not really an awful lot a week, but it seems more substantial when I...

Extraordinary places…

Tell me something good…

Calling foul…
Far be it for me to be the defender of Wal-Mart. I have nothing to give on that front. I am not a goodwill crusader for corporate America. Having said that, I have to call foul on John Kraft’s ad in...

Thanks Town & Country for the reminder…
I was scanning The Forum online today (InForum) and one of those advertisements that populate the online edition’s page caught my eye. I must say, I am always a bit reticent to click on any of these...
