Idaho Falls Gas Stations Are Price Gouging!!!
Okay, go to Gasbuddy.com or drive from Idaho Falls to Pocatello and you will see that Idaho Falls average Gas prices are $2.59 but in Pocatello they are $2.49. Why are two towns that are affected by the same weather, economy etc… that have a $.10 price difference. I think Idaho Falls is price gouging. This needs [...]
A case of reverse discrimination…
On May 11, 2009, Idaho Falls Today posted a poll entitled “Should the government abandon affirmative action?” Seventeen out of 23 participants selected yes, with three undecided and three voting no.
The idea behind the poll came from a recent Supreme Court case that was just decided today. See the AP/Fox News story below for further [...]
Why should we buy auto insurance?
A week and a half ago, my boyfriend was riding his motorcycle down 17th street when an uninsured driver pulled in front of him and caused an accident. Luckily, my boyfriend only suffered a laceration over his eyebrow (requiring several stitches) and damage to his motorcycle. The driver of the car told the officer that [...]
Is it important that lawmakers disclose their personal finances to the public?
Center for Public Integrity
A recent survey conducted by the DC based Center for Public Integrity gives Idaho a failing grade when it comes to our state’s financial disclosure laws.

Tea Party and Memorial Day Rally
I was glad to see mention of this weekend’s Memorial Day Rally and Tea Party activity posted on the poll. Unfortunately, after reading the live chat portion of the blog, I realized many of the readers unaware of the details for the rally.
That being said, the Memorial Day rally is a great way to [...]
Where’s the justice? Are our judges too soft on crime? Is the judicial system broken?
IDAHO FALLS - A local woman, Brooke Armstrong, 34, was sentenced this week to four months in jail and eight years probation for stealing more than $150,000 from three area businesses.
Four months, and that’s it? I cannot believe how light her sentence was! In addition to the jail time and probation, prosecutors are requesting [...]
Is Idaho ready for legal marijuana?
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
I have been saying this for a long time, I believe that Idaho will be the 14th state for legalizing marijuana in one way or another. However, it looks [...]
Infant potty training, myth or reality?
My wife and I started this 5 years ago with our first child. Before our baby was born, my wife hand sewed a dozen or so cloth diapers, and we bought some pre-fold cloth diapers from Walmart as well as some diaper pins.
My wife had read about infant potty training, and the reason why we [...]

Obama’s European “Blame America” Tour
The following was written by Richard Larsen, and published in the Idaho State Journal (Pocatello newspaper).
There is a common malady that afflicts many of our American comrades, known as the Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS), where everything wrong with the world is blamed on our former president. A corollary to that is BAS, or the “Blame [...]
