Little Reward for Firefighters Battling Blaze in Idaho Wilderness
I wouldn’t want to work as a firefighter. It’s not an easy job. Winds can shift, some unseen accelerant can pop, and you can’t always see hazards in a haze of smoke. This goes for people battling housefires and wildland blazes. You couldn’t pay a desk jockey like me nearly enough.
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.

THE RECORD EXCHANGE REVIEW: ZACH ON DEATH GRIPS’ ‘NO LOVE DEEP WEB’
The year is 2012. The Mayan calendar was coming to an end, and in high school my friends and I were preparing to say our goodbyes come December at the end of the year. I was happy enough to have The Money Store by Death Grips as a soundtrack for the apocalypse, as it helped me get through the rapture of the previous year 2011 unscathed. I was very excited and following the band closely for info about their new album to be released through Epic, and after listening to The Money Store and Ex Military hundreds of times at that point I was champing at the bit for more. Apparently the band had said that the new album wouldn’t be out for another year, and I knew by then that it wouldn’t matter (Mayan calendar), but they kept hinting to look out in October for something. At the time I remember kind of just assuming it would be a few songs or maybe a single or whatever, which was still exciting. And then it happened. Leaked by the band October 1, No Love Deep Web was released with an album cover that still holds controversy, but has good reason and artistic value.

Yizar Jr., known to everyone by his childhood nickname “Byrd,” who retired Aug. 15 from a distinguished 40-year academic career at Idaho State University. Yizar had more ISU titles than there are in Burke’s Peerage, but they had two things in common. They usually included the word dean or director, and they were always geared toward promoting...
