Not necessarily on topic, but Grandma and I are going to Billings Tuesday to attend a debate featuring our crop of candidates for the Montana House seat.
Don’t know if the ‘rats are going to bother to show up (this isn’t really a big college/lib area) so maybe we’ll get a chance to cull the herd a bit BEFORE the primary, instead of finding out we’ve got a clinker after the fact.
Anyway, I’ll dust off my pencil and notepad, see if I can still play journalist after all these years and maybe even report on the expected total absence (or stone bias if they do show) of our local Big Time Media types.
(I’ve pretty well crossed them off as being incapable of detecting, let alone reporting, a straight news story unless it grew teeth, jumped up and bit ‘em on the tush.)
Vet - please do take notes and pass them along. I’ve been clicking on Elections on FR fairly regularly to see what’s going on around the country (a good part of my state is a lost cause - so I look to wins in other states that I can cheer).
I have family in Billings and other areas of Montana, so it’s a state that I’m particularly interested in. Don’t know if he’ll be there, but I’ve read that Pubbie, Daines is ahead of the Dim for Senate in the polls, at least so far.
Thank you for your service(my Dad served in VN, too)!
