Vulgarity, Personal Attacks, Anarchy – Allow All, Nothing, or Somewhere In-Between?

by Joe Eagle June 6, 2008

There has been an abundance of discussion in postings on IdahoFallz.com complaining of personal attacks, users ganging up on new users, moderators involved in removing offensive comments, and the lack thereof.
One thing I know for sure, when someone puts their hand over another person’s mouth, that person gets angry! No one likes [...]

US Senate – In Idaho, Your Vote Really Counts!

by Joe Eagle May 25, 2008

When our government was being established the founding fathers gave us both a House and a Senate – the number of representatives in the House is determined by a states population, but all states receive two votes in the Senate. That means our state with a population of about 1.5 million Idaho gets just as [...]

Speed Traps in Southeast Idaho

by Joe Eagle May 16, 2008

The news today announced the speed limit on Rollandet was just lowered from 35mph to 25mpg and that the Idaho Falls police department have been aggressively patrolling the road.
I remember growing up being taught that Police are your friends, there to help you, people you can trust. “If you ever get lost, look [...]

USAFIS – Win A U.S. Green Card?

by Joe Eagle May 13, 2008

I came across probably the most interesting advertisement I’ve ever seen today. It had a link advertising for me to win a United States green card. The privacy service I was using has a proxy service while browsing, so the website I was on probably thought I was outside of the United States at the [...]

Wind Farm Profiteers Damaging Southeast Idaho

by Joe Eagle May 12, 2008

Five years ago the hills and mountains of Southeast Idaho were a beautiful site to see on the horizon. I remember growing up and looking towards the east seeing the sun come up over the mountains and thinking to myself what a beautiful site it was, and how lucky I was to be living in [...]

Idaho Falls – You’re Building A Hotel Where?

by Joe Eagle May 11, 2008

Is there any rhyme or reason to the planning that goes into Idaho Falls Hotels?
With the exception of a few locations I haven’t been able to figure out if there is any logic that goes into where the hotel locations develop.
The area of the Shilo and the Marriott by WalMart, those I get. Close to [...]

Will Gas Prices Ruin Vacations to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole?

by Joe Eagle May 5, 2008

Summer is coming on fast and gasoline prices are soaring. There is no question that the increased cost in gasoline will have extreme consequences in the future if prices soar. Some estimates predict gasoline going as high as $5.00 per gallon by the end of the summer, and $10.00, $15.00 or more per gallon in [...]

County Commissioner Dave Radford Asleep On the Job?

by Joe Eagle April 29, 2008

(submited by user: “Sharpie the Pen”)
Politics is an interesting profession. You campaign to get people to like you and give you free money to get you elected, then you work for the government, which appears to me to be a much less results oriented operation than any place I’ve ever worked for.
With all the work [...]
