From Facebook, Post Falls Councilman Joe Malloy reports: "I have been invited (and I accepted) to speak at the next Rally Right meeting, which is next Monday, Feb 3, 6 p.m., at Nate's New York Pizza on Highway 41 (just north of Mullan) in Post Falls. Come hear about exciting things like a bridge over the freeway and other local issues. Please, come ask questions about local issues that interest you. If nothing else, the pizza is really, really good."

Question: I hear from some right-wing circles that Rally Right leader Bob Pedersen is without clout in the uberconservative movement of Kootenai County. But he must have some impact if he can attract a councilman to speak at his meetings. Right?
