1) Any rightwing idiot who wishes to promote the failed meme that Democratic/liberal women are inferior to Republicant woman because they aren't as attractive has obviously never attended Netroots Nation.
2) Your tax dollars are paying for South Dakota to post federal Interstate signs promoting the home and birthplace of Republicant Senator John Thune. Don't believe me? Drive through South Dakota.
3) It may have only been the profusion of water, but anyone who still wishes to convince me that driving across North Dakota is a misery has never driven across South Dakota, and certainly never traveled between Gillette and Sheridan, WY.
$) The breakout panel on messaging told me that no one actually reads beyond the 3rd bullet point. Does it help if the 4th is a sign of money?
5) Colorado drivers are m0re annoying than Billings drivers, and that's saying something.
6) Marcy Wheeler is one helluva writer, but not much of a public speaker. No insult intended.
7) It's farther from Bozeman to the Montana eastern border than it is across North or South Dakota. Few people from the East seem capable of grasping that idea of space.
8) Howard Dean is dynamic. He's also a lot shorter than I thought he would be. His brother Joe is totally kick-ass.
9) Darcy Burner rocks my world.
10) I now truly believe that the western part of any Western state is the 'pretty part'. And Rapid City, SoDak, is such a sweet little town.
11) The Black Hills are not hills. They are actually mountains, and good god how I was thankful for that after being in the flatlands.
More to come, I'm certain, as this all sinks in.
We missed you at the gathering, but understand... #4/$ Yes! #'s 7, 10, & 11 Very thoughtful and true, I believe...
