Playing the lottery…

by Guest Writer December 8, 2009

There is a pretty obvious reason why buying lottery tickets is a bad idea. You will lose money. The odds are usually just awful. Casino gambling is, in comparison, a comparatively sound investment.
And, of course, casino gambling is not a wise thing to do with your savings. You would have to be off the deep [...]

“Insuring” Good Health

Thumbnail image for “Insuring” Good Health by Chick Heileson December 2, 2009

As Congress currently debates a massive government overhaul of our nation’s healthcare system, it seems a fundamental question is being left out of the debate: “Does the federal government have any right to discuss how to manage your personal health?”
The current administration is pushing for a government-run plan that will compete with private insurance plans. [...]

Thumbnail image for Insane Clown Posse Show Cancelled… Discussion Imminent. by Alice November 5, 2009

I just read in the PR that the Insane Clown Posse concert has been canceled.
My first reaction was not surprise, it was actually a smirk while I recalled a similar concert held a couple of years ago by a band called Kottonmouth Kings. That concert, by a band (IMO) whose sole purpose is to promote [...]

On May 13th in the “Boise Weekly” there was an article ran about the 300 person crowd at the state capitol for the “Global Marijuana March”.
Ref:  http://www.boiseweekly.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A323768

Apple Athletic Club Preschool Now Taking Applications

by marketing@nai-idaho.com April 21, 2009

Looking for a great preschool in Idaho Falls? Apple Athletic Club is again offering preschool classes for 3-5 year olds this fall. This will be the 4th year of Apple’s preschool program, and it has been a huge success because of the superb instructors, low student-teacher ratios, and excellent facilities. The preschool now has a dedicated room for classes, and has added a half-hour of instruction for the same price as last year.
