It’s a new year.  The Presidentiary is about to transition to folks who know how to pronounce “nuclear.” Foreign governments are trying new diplomatic tactics. Idaho will have a snazzy new lieutenant governor. Not to be left behind, we here at idaho-hum.com are changing things up a bit. While we’ll [...]
Never mind the Iraq debacle or the governor’s slush fund, good bad ole Bryan Fischer is all atwitter over the latest misuse of tax dollars: transgendered bathrooms at Boise State University! Yep, right here on our hometown campus: state-funded sexual perversity! “Yes, BSU is planning to use public [...]

[...]Mixed in what way? Idaho’s housing market is great if you managed to buy before prices got out of control. It’s not so good if you couldn’t afford to buy a home before 2005 and your income isn’t going up at, say, 20% a year. From the Statesman:

Wow, so public transportation unfairly benefits the more urban areas, so we should shoot that down, and this section of I-84 is in a democratic district, so that’s a no-go, too. Forward thinkers, these republicans.

House GOP leaders pulled one of the six highway projects – the [...]
There’s a renewed effort afoot to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which would - gasp - enshrine gender equality in the constitution. First introduced in the 1920’s (!), it passed 35 states in the 1980’s before it was killed by schmucks like Phyllis Schlafley.
[...]Have you heard? The organization in charge of setting royalty rates for broadcasting music online raised them so high that a great many internet radio stations will be put out of business.
