This is a photo of Montana State Rep. Joel Boniek, a states’ rights guy. He’s a hottie!

If you are into food/health/nutrition and related issues, as I am, I heartily suggest that you make the time to read Lierre Keith’s The Vegetarian Myth. I’m early into the book, and already, it’s an attention snatcher. It was recommended to me by Richard Nikoley from Free the Animal. Mark Sisson, who never does book [...]

In the film trailer, I noted there is some very appropriate NRA bashing. Gun people who continue to claim the NRA [...]

You gotta love this one. This is a product that the state will just hate – the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk.This would be great for texting, iPhone or iTouch, or perhaps a small laptop. It would be great for commuters who sit in heavy traffic jams. Of course, it’s meant to use while the vehicle [...]
