Few things about Montana

-Over the weekend, the Governor announced that the American flag was to be lowered all day in honor of a serviceman from Montana was killed. Not in Iraq but at some training facility in North Carolina where he died of a heart attack while in training. Sad, I know, but is that worth a memorial service? Will his name be put on the War Memorial List? It's kind of like that episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where one of Larry's friend kept on getting sympathy from people because he had a friend who died on 9/11 only for it to turn out to be that he died while in New York on 9/11 but for reasons totally not having to do with 9/11.

-I've been to two bars that have one tv on sports, the other on Fox News. Okay, welcome to a "Red State" although Montana is currently purple and has a Democratic Governor and two Democratic Senators. The thing is, though, is how much can you get out of watching Fox News in a bar if the sound is turned off?
