Netflix Takes Underhanded Shot At Idaho In New Blockbuster
Netflix is truly an amazing company. When it started in 1997, they changed how some people rented movies. Instead of going to a Blockbuster or Family Video, you could order your movies online, and they would send them to you via mail.

This was especially great for Idahoans in rural areas where video stores were sometimes over an hour away. Who wants to make that kind of drive in the snow for one movie? Who wants to make that drive in good weather for one movie? Not me!

Governor Little Needs to Show Courage in the Face of Wildfires
The Wapiti Fire doubled in size over the weekend. Evacuations were underway in Idaho’s central highlands. People are grabbing a few clothes and medicines and fleeing. They may have nothing to return to when it’s over. My troubles in life are minor in comparison. In a post last Friday I made it clear this didn’t need to happen. People dictate forest management in a far-away national capital, and they’re listening to limousine liberals with no clue about life in Idaho, which is why there’s so little national news coverage about our plight.
