I peruse quite a few sites. General news comes from the Times and USA Today, regional news from NewWest, political coverage from Politico, and sports from ESPN. For local yokel coverage (which doubles as entertainment), I read the Ravalli Republic. Today was a particularly entertaining issue.
The Good.
11 year-old Hamilton boy, Joe Johnson, is reunited with his lovebird after it escaped and spent a couple nights experiencing the freedom and chill of a Montana summer night.
Ya, even I like a feel-good story every once in a while.
The Entertaining
Alan Berenzy was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct for not minding the "No Shirt, No Shoes, Not Service" signage and shopping full monty. Officer Oster comments that Berenzy is "new to the area."
Which begs the question: Where the hell is Berenzy from? But I'll give him some credit, if you're going to break the rules, you might as well go the whole nine yards.
The Crazy
Outspoken local, Kathy Kulonis, mixed a little politics into the Creamery Picnic in Stevensville this past weekend and was met with disdain from the crowd. It seemed to even ruffle the feathers of a few fellow Republicans. The outrage - Kulonis holding a sign that read "No Mo Bro" referring to her outrage in the direction President Obama is taking the country.
I don't agree with Ms. Kulonis's message, but for a valley filled with hoards of conservative crazies, this was pretty mild.
Of course, she couldn't help herself and decided to respond.

Sorry, my mistake. That's "Cathy" with a hard "C" instead of the softer "K".
did you read in the same ravalli republic the article about her son saving a kid from drowning?
And the reader;s comments?
Yes, I did read the article (link here). The scenario sounds a little fishy. One would like to think that if the story was fabricated young Kulonis would have at least had the smarts to fess up before the article went to print.
Ms. Kulonis is not new to the paper, local politics, education, or the blogosphere. Just do a web search to discover her special kind of crazy.
A decent response by Clint Burson to Kulonis's attempt to explain her sign in Tuesday's "Valley Viewpoint".
