During Sunday’s Ironman competition I had the complete honor to interface with some of the best the community has to offer. True heroes braving the heat alongside all the athletes, willing to selflessly serve, enco…
LGBT: Blinded by the lights

RULINGS: Don't blame Obama

The dreaded letter from the jury commissioner arrived in the mail threatening three days in jail/$300 fine for refusing to participate as a juror. America, land of the free except for jury duty! Serving on a jury s…

Since the unrealistic congressional 10-year mandate in 2006 for the U.S. Postal Service to pre-fund future retirees’ health benefits 75 years into the future, which by the way no other agency is required to do, the…
RULING: Wrong for conservatives
The Idaho Human Rights Commission is jumping up and down with glee over the Supreme Court’s, with Obama’s praise, absurd ruling on gay marriage. Idahoans, don’t be fooled. Wood and Stewart are no friends of conserv…
RONMAN: Cool work, everyone
Thank you to all the medical staff and volunteers who helped out in the Ironman medical tent this year. We had quite an epic race this year with record-breaking extreme heat. The medical service you provided was no…
