BSU Students: Give Me Ann Coulter!
It’s hard being conservative in Idaho. Imagine: you have control of the house, senate, governorship, all four congressional seats, the attorney general…heck, every single statewide office, and I’d even add control over the largest newspaper in the state. But then liberal ol’ BSU has to go and point out: there are other points [...]
Idahoan chick-memoir author to visit area
Heard of The Year of Yes? It’s a chick-lit -memoir by Maria Dahvana Headley with a teriffic premise: a young woman, tired of the dating scene, decides to say yes to every man who asks her out for a year. Interesting twists: 1. She’s new to NYC. 2. She’s a playwright. 3. She’s from Caldwell, [...]

cheney is going down
political wager: the revelations that are coming out in the “Scooter” Libby CIA Leak Investigation trial will force Cheney to resign.

mansfield on sali, new improved 20×20 tubes
Yep, but you can only make an initial first impression. Hmmm…..let’s move on to things that hit hard.
Humor is best relegated to comics, don’t you really think?

ahh . . . nothing like hindsight to make things all clear and stuff:
Bill Sali does not have the quality of character required to serve Idaho voters. There are [...]
Good news: More Al Gore tix available. Bad news: You gotta pay for ‘em now.
The nice people who put on the Frank Church conference have seen the (compact flourescent) light and are moving Al Gore’s Januray 22 speech to the Taco Hell Arena. If you managed to get out of work and stand in line for an hour to get tickets, you probably have four freebies in your hot [...]
Dare ya: go see the Legendary Shack Shakers…and Ronnie Milsap.
Yup, the Legendary Shack Shackers are playing the Big Sleasy on January 11. Alas, you’ll have to endure the drunks there to hear the Reverend Horton Heat. I’ve seen RHH before and while the music is amp-amp-amped, it’s clear that performing has become a rote job for him. Not so for the Shack Shakers (who [...]

Devotchka to play ‘Lux Thursday 12/7
The best gypsy-troubador band with a sousaphone ever, Devotchka, will play the Neurolux next week! Okay, so last time they performed we voted them the Band Most in Need of a Nap, but for what they lack in charisma they more than make up for in dreamy, original music. Highly recommended.
