Brainstorming Solutions to Idaho’s Prison Problem
Idaho is facing a major prison problem, and which appears it will reach a crisis point. I fear that Idaho’s prison population is now or will soon grow faster than our resident population does. This will lead to an inevitable disaster as a dwindling population of hard working Idaho residents are forced to pay higher […]
Race Relations Rackets
Jena, Louisiana, has become the new rallying point for a civil rights movement, or so the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would like us to believe. Sharpton and Jackson held protests on behalf of the Jena 6 stating that it was racism at work. However, their argument is significantly watered down and arguably […]
Go To Work Senator Craig
It’s bad enough Idahoans are suffering for Senator Larry Craig’s restroom circus. Regardless of whether you believe Craig is guilty or railroaded, I think everyone can agree that if Craig is collecting our senatorial paychecks, he should be doing our senatorial work.

I recently read about a creative way to help the homeless and also decrease panhandlers. I’m not from IF and don’t think […]
Larry Craig Apologists Point to Deeper GOP Problems
In the wake of the Senator Larry Craig scandal, I think it is appropriate to engage a meta-discussion about issues that go beyond the arrest, the cover-up, and the resignation fiasco. What has this episode uncovered about blind party loyalty, and is it acceptable to excuse misdeeds for political alliances?
Marty Trillhaase’s Post Register editorial today […]
Should Idaho Ban Text Messaging While Driving?
Should Idaho ban text messaging while driving?
It seems there are more and more reported stories of accidents resulting from young people text messaging while driving. Washington state banned texting while driving (TWD) last May, and six other states are reportedly considering a similar ban. I recently read a study saying 91% of Americans believe text […]
