http://ericheidle.drewblood.com The Unread Blog Sat, 19 Apr 2008 02:27:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en There's a new blockbuster premiering tonight, an intricately plotted thriller involving a sinister cabal of shadowy elites conspiring to suppress freedom, justice, and the American way. The latest Grisham? A Tom Clancy potboiler? Nope. It's a documentary. About intelligent design. Intelligent design (or ID for short) is put forth as a ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=19 What's left of the Conrad Bank building began yielding to the wrecking ball this morning. Most recently the home of B&B Loan and Rental, the building was gutted two years ago by a fire that destroyed the interior but allowed the hideous Sixties-era facade to come down, revealing some beautiful ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=18 I watched Senators Clinton and Obama bloviate on TV for a bit as they addressed the party faithful in Butte the other night. It's a bit hard to compare their handiwork to President Clinton's appearance here in Great Falls—he was speaking up close to a much smaller crowd and isn't ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=17 Jamie Ford and I caught the first half of former President Bill Clinton's Great Falls visit today. He's a politician I dislike so much I voted for him twice in the 90s. There's no getting around the fact—the man's a conundrum. P. J. O’Rourke has been quoted as saying that ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=16 Is it just me, or do "Sheriffs' Associations" need their annual donations every couple of weeks? I made the mistake of picking up the phone the other night and got hit by one of these groups. I offered to look at their printed material, but of course the caller ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=15 KRTV just did a piece about local bloggers and asked me to say a few words on the process, which is a bit like asking J.D. Salinger why he still insists on flooding the market with his books. But if you're interested, here's the piece on my blog, which you're ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=14 Metro station roof Just returned from a week-long vacation to visit the folks, who live in Virginia just south of Washington, D.C. It's a great place to visit, especially since the territory is so different from Montana. Your sense of navigation gets messed up—roads go in all directions through ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=13 I've never rooted so hard for a team I care nothing about as I did for the New York Football Giants. Watching them upset the Patriots was sweet, and tonight I savor a victory cocktail made from Bill Belichick's tears. http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=11 I left Saturday morning with friends for our annual winter cabin trip near White Sulphur Springs. For the last five years we've done a three-day weekend here, and depending on the amount of snow have had to ski in as far as two miles (except for the dry year we ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=10 KFBB aired its piece on Banik's role on the Voyagers' name change Sunday night on the 10 o'clock news. I told them to shoot my best side, so they sort of winced and circled me with the camera a few times before dropping the tripod where it suited them. But ... http://ericheidle.drewblood.com/?p=9
