Day 255: The 9/12 Tea Party!

Sunday, September 13, 2009

I am not sure how many showed up for our little Tea Party in Great Falls, but it seemed like more than in April.  Lots of honking, waving and thumbs up, too.  A few thumbs down, middle fingers and cursing from passing cars.  I don’t mind the ones who don’t agree with us, but do […]

Day 227: Off to a Tea Party

Saturday, August 15, 2009

As soon as I got home from the Stacks, I changed and grabbed my friend Vance.  There was a Tea Party protest rally in front of the offices of our two Senators, Baucus and Testor.  Much it is about excess spending, but right now it is about stopping a complete replacement of our health care […]

Additional Moon Landing Links

Monday, July 20, 2009

I found a few more links to Apollo sites.  These are by Ken Rockwell, noted and controversial photographer (well controversial online, anyway!).  This guy should know what he is talking about Moon Landing wise.  Rockwell was a/the major contractor for the space program…I think it was his Dad.   Family business, at least! http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2009-07-19.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2009-07-1-new.htm […]

Day 194: One small step for [a] man…

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Forty years ago today Mankind reached the height of civilization on this planet: We left it.  Man walked on the Moon.  A few more missions, then a program cut short because the dollars needed to be saved were “needed” elsewhere, the “end” of the Space Race… The whole planet had been brought together for one […]

Day 193: Something completely different!

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Yesterday (Saturday the 18th of July) I attended the First (we hope) Electric City (Great Falls) Blog Meet, arraigned and sponsered by Gregg of Electric City Weblog.  It was a wide ranging discussion (over lunch at the Amigo Lounge, provided by a participant)of blogs, their meaning, purpose, importance, and future.  The people there were right, […]

Day 187, Health Care Freedom Tea Party

Friday, July 17, 2009

My buddy Vance and I went down to the Health Care Freedom Tea Party held today outside of Senators Baucus’ and Testors’ office in downtown Great Falls.  About 35 Patriots showed up, not bad for a Friday morning!  Thanks to the folks running the Tea Party Patriots of Great Falls! “There is NO MORE MONEY!”  […]

Day 185, The 4th of July that wasn’t…

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Another out of order post, but it has been a week…I was planning on being in the 4th of July Parade here in Great Falls.  I was going to ride with the motorcycles behind the Tea Party float, protesting spending without responsibility…and generally celebrating the America that should be.  Alas, it was not to be.  […]
