Keep signs up so we know who to blame for the mess
Margie Gignac | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 6 months AGO
I have a new rule regarding political signs. Election losers MUST remove their signs immediately after the election. However, election winners MAY leave their signs up indefinitely.
That way, voters will know who is responsible when roads are full of potholes and sinkholes, when bridges collapse because who needs infrastructure, when politicians know more than doctors about medical care, when women have little or no access to health care, when there is little or no funding for education, when water becomes scarce for farmers due to climate change, but available to oil corporations for fracking, when oil pipelines burst due to faulty welding, because who needs regulations, when we have less government, but no means to help people who struggle to survive, and on and on.
I am woman, watch me VOTE.

Republican convention rife with inaccuracies and lies
I admit I am not surprised, just once again disappointed by the Daily Inter Lake’s blatant support of all things Republican or right-wing. The latest example is last Sunday’s editorial on the Republican convention. The convention was rife with speeches filled with inaccuracies, exaggerations and lies: Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s speech perhaps the most notable. Was it too difficult to do a little research to write an informative and valuable editorial or is providing a bit of professional journalism just too daunting for the Inter Lake?
Lindeen is doing a great job
My partner and I went to the dinner and film presentation of “Gold Diggers” this past Thursday evening sponsored by Monica Lindeen and staff of the office of securities and insurance. It was a good dinner and movie until it was sandbagged by folks representing Derek Skees. He is running opposite Lindeen for State Auditor.
Montana needs to repeal the death penalty
It was disappointing to hear that the Montana House Judiciary Committee voted 11-9 to table House Bill 370, which would have replaced the death penalty with life without the possibility of parole.
