This statement is right on the top of the Kootenai County application form.
Saw "The Nativity Story." Overall, a good piece of filmmaking. Nothing obnoxiously offensive or too far off the traditional path set down in the Gospels. I'm glad Mel Gibson didn't make it. I don't think I would have lived through the slaughter of the innocents…

I heard the Elephants at the Pachyderm Club this morning were unhappy (aren't they always) that the SR doesn't allow long letters to the editor, like the Coeur d'Alene Press does. Indeed, we limit letters to the editor to 200 words. Why? We probably run…

Those raw e-mails that were circulated between the Kootenai County prosecutor's and Sheriff's offices received a poor reception at Huckleberries Online.
