Actually now that I think about it this might be the next big hit for the alternative lot, piercing, tattoos and now you can even be blue. “Metal studs under you’re skin? Pfffff! I’M BLUE!!! Wimp.” ---

Yep, Montana. Home of the Freemen, the Unabomber, whirling disease and blue politicians. And we have a governer with a 23% approval rating who is proud to be quoted as being a “lapdog of industry” and calls loggers the true environmentalists. You people want to move here . . . why? ---

I now have reason to believe that when I’m down and blue, there is someone out there more blue than me. It’s comforting to know that. Now I can’t get that song “forever in blue jeans” out of my head. ---
