In 2007, the Pacific/Inland Northwest finally has a chance to strut its stuff on the national quarter scene -- and Montana (left) and Utah (middle) does. Unfortunately, Idaho is stuck for the next 50 years or so with that stupid quarter foisted on us by former governor Dirk Kempthorne. A peregrine falcon? Nearly meaningless. I'd take a reintroduced wolf any day. Then, the southern Idaho legislator farmers would never abide by that. Thanks, Dirk -- for nothing -- DFO.

Question: Is there a worse quarter than Idaho's?
