Here you can find a Memorandum from the ’secret box’ dated 11/27/07, to the SME Board of Trustees. It seems to indicate that, at that time, SME knew it would not be obtaining funding from the Rural Utility Service.
Contrast that with the February 27, 2008, Memorandum from then [...]
Okay… I’m devoted to getting some of these secret documents out there.
Here’s a fun one, from Tim Gregori to a lobbyist–bought and paid for by us–who he asks to manufacture letters to the editor to the Tribune to make it look like the HGS has support.
You’ve gotta love that the [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, W*O*W.
Doubtless many government files may contain legitimate trade secrets. The SME Secrets Box is not one of them. It is rife with benign communication, political maneuvering, outdated data, descriptions of a coal plant which (possibly once a “trade secret”) is now in the White Elephant Graveyard. It [...]
To anyone who was paying attention in 2003 and after, this is familiar territory. Mr. Greengrass and the [...]
I was amazed to learn that one of Montana’s most famous figures, William Clark – one of our first U.S. senators, one of the “Copper Kings,” a contemporary of Great Falls’ very own Paris Gibson, and perhaps the most famous/notorious personality in our state’s history – has one surviving [...]
I think I need to make a new tag for this post. "The incomprehensibly, unbelievably, overwhelmingly and undeniably fucking stupid".
Dan Riehl, who will never get a link from me, opines that "we" ought to euthanize Harry Ried's wife.
If Democrats want so badly to abort babies because of it (health care [...]
We all know that there are philosophical differences between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans favor smaller government, lower taxes, and self-determination.
Democrats, on the other hand, according to Montana Democratic Party Chairman Jim Elliott, are looking for babysitters:
“People vote for people who they think will take care [...]
I’ll post the order later.
Hand over the documents…immediately!
UPDATE:
Here you can review the Court’s order. I will issue the caution that, although this has been represented to me by a number of sources, I do not have signed copy of the Order, just this Word document. I suppose it could [...]
Since arriving in Montana, I have been fascinated with Butte – literally rich in history and character, from the days of being the “richest hill on earth,” the battle of the Copper Kings, to the home of legendary daredevil Evel Knievel, and so much more.
So it was amazing to learn [...]
As of this point — 11:15 a.m. — there is still no “stay” filed at the Clerk of District Court.
Check ECW for updates throughout the day. I’m going to Fairfield for the 3 Rivers Co-op’s annual meeting.

Took a little drive on Sunday out to Mary’s Midway, near Cattleman’s Cut – but the parking was full, apparently a big to-do featuring old-time fiddlers. So back to town for us – and a tasty stop at Ford’s!
Mmmmm…double cheeseburgers, fries, and rings – topped off with [...]
Health care reform is entering the final stretch in Congress. All sorts of stories will be written in the next few days, but the bottom line is that the Congress is about to pass the most significant economic justice legislation in 40 years and the most fundamental rewrite of our [...]
And yet, mildly amusing.
