WARNING!
Don't give an interview to Keila Szpaller of the Missoulian!! She apparently has no sense of humor. She is also capable of misrepresent her conversations so that the hyperventilating-left crowd, can cluck and moan about decorum.
(Imagine that!)
Yesterday, (Thursday, December 11th) I returned a call to Ms Szpaller and we talked about the little black logo that you (might) see below. She chortled and giggled her way through a conversation about the appropriateness of the of the word "shit!" as it is used below. I told her that I thought the sentiment expressed was was an accurate reflection of how I felt about the way the election had gone, for me in particular and for the republicans in Montana in general. She asked me, "Do you think it is appropriate for a PSC web site?" and I pointed out to her that it isn't on a PSC web site it is on my personal web site.
She did ask me about decorum but she chose not to relay any exchange about context.
(In some crowds, her account would be known as bullshit, and rightly so.)
Again, Warning!
If the word "shit" is likely to cause your silly little left-wing heart to palpitate and to give you fits of apoplexy, don't continue any further!!!!
I managed to put together a majority of the votes in every county of the PSC District 4, except Missoula. Coming out of Missoula County I was 11,400 votes behind. In the rest of the district I was ahead by 8000 votes.
My opponent got 15,359 votes in the non-Missoula counties, and 32,616 in Missoula County (two thirds of her total vote).
I got 23,359 votes in the non-Missoula counties and 21,222 votes in Missoula county.
I want to thank all the voters of District who have so kindly given me their support over the past many years. Perhaps we'll meet again.
