Shamless Plug: if you’re looking for some cool Montana-based books and movies, check out my selections from Amazon.com. Among the choices: the book “As Cool As I Am” by Great Falls resident Pete Fromm; the movie “Northfork” which was filmed near Augusta; and “The Cow Whisperer” by local humorist Skip Halmes.

Carol over at Missoulapolis has the best chuckle of the campaign, regarding the amount of media coverage and journalists and politicians criss-crossing our state in the run-up to today’s last-in-the-nation Democratic primary: At last – at last! Montanans get the worldwide attention and buzz they’ve craved! Why, maybe the kids won’t move to Seattle after all. Heh.

My father, who lives in Texas, is now a subscriber to GreaterFalls.com (waves to dad)!
