Here's a marriage made in -- well, maybe not exactly heaven -- but somewhere south of there. The Northern Light, a monthly based in Molt, and the Montana News Association, an online publication based in Never Never Land, have joined forces.
The latest issue of the Northern Light includes a letter from MNA Editor Donald Cyphers welcoming Light Editor Kathleen Plumb as an MNA member. He writes, "The Montana News Association, together with our many state, national and International media partnerships, pray for your success in Christ and that you will be abundantly blessed with His direction, protection and peace." Ms. Plumb adds, "May God bless our efforts."
God may stay out of this one. Cyphers, despite his Christian orientation has -- how shall I put it? -- some integrity management issues (see, for example, here, here, here and here.
Plumb, despite her Christian orientation, has -- how shall I put it? -- some reality management issues. See, for example, here and my response here.
So this ought to be interesting. I just hope nobody gets hurt. At least, I hope Ms. Plumb doesn't get hurt. But here's the bright side: The Northern Light's latest issue reprints an MNA piece about Ron Tussing that refers to Ed Kemmick's "lack of any semblance of logic" and his "irresponsible cavalier attitude." Ed's overjoyed response is here.

Thanks, David. Someone else alerted me by e-mail that the Northern Light reprinted the Cyphers-Green article, but I wasn't aware I could see the Northern Light online, and I certainly didn't know the NL had formed a partnership with the MNA. In a way, I feel sorry for the folks at NL. They're a bit crazy, sure, but I get the impression that they're honest. How long do you suppose it will be before Cyphers rips them off or otherwise performs some outrage on their innocent natures? I will try not to gloat, but it won't be easy.
Ed, My guess is that this alliance will be brief and financially painful for Ms. Plumb. I recently had a long phone conversation with her over a rack dispute. Any hope that we can resolve the matter with a friendly exchange of views vanished in the first couple of minutes. Before we were done, she had essentially accused us of deliberately stealing her papers for years.
The allegation was, without question, nonsense. I had personally delivered papers to the stop in question for a couple of years and had never engaged in or observed anything like that. It was a very strange conversation.
But I wish her no ill and am sorry to see this happen.
A match made in the Twilight Zone or perhaps the Outer Limits. Scary, indeed.
Kathleen PlumbDumb is a RACIST ASS! That's all. I mean, go to the "poetry" corner there and read little norman shay as he talks about the "silent, white, Anglo, christian majority"!! WHO but the most abject racist ASS like plumbDumb would print such crappola?! That's right, miss plumbDumb, you are an ass!

Mr. Cyphers runs an Internet publication because he's stiffed every printer in the region. I fear that the Northern Like will not flicker for long.
The latest issue of the Northern Lights is so fraught with inaccuracies and bias that it became entertainment rather than informative about 3 graphs into the article about Al Garver. If they are trying to help their boy win, they should shush themselves. They're making him look even more ridiculous than he is.
David and Ed, how utterly selfish of you two to enjoy so many laughs at Mr. Cyphers expense. However, some days it must be like shooting fish in a barrell.

And the bad news for mr. shay is that his cherished "silent, white, anglo-saxon, christian majority" just MAY not be the majority any longer! And that really, really steams the rightwing wacko nazi crowd like Plumbdumb and shay! But hey, out there in Molt, it's a regular stronghold of anglo-saxons! Guess that THIS is the crowd that Big Al Garver is trying to curry favor with when he proclaiims himself to be a "christian conservative"! Oh hell, I was never any good at decoding code words. Al, what IS the word for bigot now-a-days?!!

As head of the Union of Concerned Whiners, we would like to offer our full endorsement of Big Al Garver! I see by the news this a.m. that the POlice have lined up behind Tussing, and that just ain't fair! So, we whiners throw our support to Big Al, a whiner extraordinaire! We feel that it's about TIME we whiners have a voice in government, and we feel that Al is the best man for the job! I mean, just look at his comments on the police union endorsement. That says it all! With Al, whining will finally become mainstream! We're PROUD to be among the groups like Phyllis Shatly's Eagle Forum to endorse our good christain brother, Brother Al! Whiners of the world unite! Whiner Power! Power to the Whiners! We SHALL overcome!.....our minority status!
You callin' Al Garver a whiner??
I call Al a weiner. Why is he putting that horrible picture of his sorry self on those new signs of his? Why is he changing colors to blood red? Why is he whining about an endorsement from the firefighters and police going to theformer POLICE Chief? Uh, hello? Isn't he trying to take away their jobs and new fire hall? Al wants it both ways.
Red? Haven't you heard? The nazis have declared Friday red day. Everyone is supposed to wear red to show love of country, support of georgie's orgy of slaughter, and faith in god! Big Al apparently wants to send a secrect message to all the OTHER wackjobs out there that he's their boy!
