By now you’ve probably heard about the Governor’s secret meetings in Anaconda that he supposedly has held every year with his staff and directors. Just because we haven’t ever heard of them before, doesn’t mean that they didn’t occur. Doesn’t matter. The topics on the “agenda” aren’t really THE topic of interest anyway.

Perhaps there really is a Santa Claus and Montana may get one of the best Christmas presents ever! Governor Schweitzer really is on the short list for Obama’s Energy Secretary. Who knew my wish might come true?

Of course, that’s left the Gov’s staff and the Democrat House leadership with a conundrum – John “I’m a Republican” Bohlinger. What to do, what to do? Kinda hands this side of the aisle a puzzlement too. We haven’t exactly overwhelmingly embraced the Lt. Gov for the past four years. Although – truth be told – in spite of the media accounts to the contrary, he was warmly welcomed at the L & C Republican Caucus in February – the only Republican function he’s actually attended since taking office. (I know, he couldn’t participate in the voting – he was a registered voter in Jefferson County – not Lewis & Clark – not our fault he didn’t show up at the correct caucus location. Guess it was because we had a bigger and better party with more TV cameras.)

So does John change his stripes and change his official affiliation to “D” – or stay true to his avowed party and sway the House to Republican control, and appoint fellow “R’s” to key positions within the administration?

RINO or DINO? It’s the big question for Montana politicos tonight.

The Carroll game is over and the fans are about 50 years older. What a nail-biter at the end! Final score 38-37. The Saints’ defense was able to knock down the 2-point pass that would have given Lindenwood the one point victory. It was a great game that Carroll led all the way through, but some injuries to key defensive players allowed the Lions to draw breathtakingly close. But as they say in the movies, “All’s well that ends. Well.”

Oh – and the Grizzlies won too.

Have a great day – no matter what you choose to do! And here are a couple of chuckles to keep you smiling all day….

1.) In one high school class recently they were discussing the constitutional qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple – the candidate must be natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone’s jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, ”What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?”

2.) Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

The Sun’ll Come Up Tomorrow…

Just read my lipstick: Sarah 2012!

Or just a lack of interest? Seems like the Georgia Obamobots couldn’t muster up the same level of enthusiasm for The One this month. All that youth and energy just couldn’t find the polls twice, I guess. Not enough Hope! and Change! to make it worthwhile, maybe. Even Bill Clinton and Al Gore couldn’t distract over a million Obama voters from their holiday shopping.

But Sarah was down in the Heart of Dixie yesterday drawing huge, excited crowds and rallying them to support Saxby Chandliss. Early results show the incumbent Senator coasting to a sweet 58% – 42% victory in today’s runoff election. Thus denying the majority Dems the much coveted 60 vote threshold. Guess they’ll have to pass legislation the old-fashioned way – smelly as it may be.
