Idaho Legislature Votes to Close Primaries, Parks, Borders, Schools, Libraries, and Minds

Matrimonial perspective
Married for 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, “Honey, 25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25 year old blonde.

State Capital Moves to Idaho Falls
The last days of the 2006 Idaho state legislative session proved surprising as the official state capital was changed from Boise to Idaho Falls. The state constitution, seal, flag, and a cardboard box of other historical state artifacts were smuggled across the valley in the middle of the night. This move was similar to the [...]
