Huckleberries Online

Fortier shoots, scores …

Columnist Marty Fortier of sNIDe Remarks was cookin' today when he wrote about the $69,000-plus settlement ex-drug court queen Marina Kalani won from Kootenai County on the way out of the door -- you know, the gal who swapped hundreds of e-mails with Prosecutor Bill Douglas. Quoth Marty:

"Now I'm just a simple caveman, and I don't know nothin' about no inappropriate relationships, but I do know math. And according to my calculations, Miss Kalani earned about $78 per e-mail. (For those of you scoring at home, that's $70,000 divided by 889 e-mails.)"
