Gov. Butch Otter went in for shoulder surgery today, after a recent team roping accident, according to the email message below that went out today to state agency heads. Click here to read a letter from First Lady Lori Otter about what happened, which says in part, “The Governor zigged and his horse zagged; he caught the steer, but his shoulder didn’t fare well!”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.
Question: I imagine some snot-nosed doctor probably told the governor that he’s getting to old to be involved in team roping. (For Baby Boomers) Are you still involved in an activity that common sense says that you shouldn’t be?

“Senate votes to repeal naturopath law.” Hilarious. This is like certifying and credentialing astrologers or alchemists. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck — it’s a quack.
