It's almost enough to make a guy ashamed to be from North Dakota. On the same day the Fargo Forum announces Barack Obama has taken the lead in a North Dakota poll, I found out that the SayAnythingBlog, run by Minot resident Rob Port, played host to a very troublesome graphic depicting Obama next to a noose. Without getting into the issue of the blatant fear-mongering hatred infused in the gr...

I now absolutely believe that our credit crisis is a made up problem that could be made good with a few Goodfella style sit-downs. I had previously posted that I thought that that this is all a scam and now it is reinforced. Here, here, here and here all indicate that the underlying problem with [...]...

Were he known to North Dakotans as he is known to me his score would be over. I have watched Mathern since 1977 as he has prepared for the highest elected post in the state. His pro-life values were shaped and molded early on with particular attenti...

Nice work for your party. I would recommend to the Republican Party to just declare bankruptcy (moral and otherwise), but I would be afraid that they might need to be bailed out. On second thought, please just separate the crazies that want to destroy the Constitution and make a new party. ...

Only one state official (that I'm aware of) has...
