Hot Potatoes has learned that ex-Rep. Jerry Stoicheff of Sandpoint died Friday. We have some obit info: Jerry Stoicheff, 69, died Friday in Santa Barbara, Calif. Services will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday at Sandpoint United Methodist Church. She was born Jerry Louise Dickson in…
A draft dodger from Nelson, B.C., left a pleasant message on the answering machine in response to my Friday edit: "Nelson right to dodge monument." In the edit, I applauded the town's wise decision not to support a privately funded memorial to American draft dodgers…
You can find the box score from Idaho's win over Eastern Michigan here. And you Boy-C State fans can read all about the Broncos 38-20 victory over Southern Methodist here.
The Coeur d'Alene Press this morning revealed -- what? That Hagadone partner Jerry Jaeger is, ahem, mystery novelist J.J. Hunter -- you know, the guy who wrote, "The Resort." Duh. I told you that in my print column, Huckleberries, soon after the novel surfaced a…
Well, folks, I had a blast today. The new format has a coupla bugs on my end. But I hope you aren't having trouble with it on your end. Again, the new format allows me to blog from home. Dunno how that's going to sit…
My spies tell me that Ron Rankin's family hopes the bypass surgery this week will enable him to bounce back from that massive heart attack in January. He hasn't been the same since. The Ronfather, however, was up to his old tricks last night when…
As I said, I'm in an experimental mode again re: this blog. (It's strange to call it Hot Potatoes after calling it No Holds Barred since February.) I should have called it HP from the first even though I had a print column of the…

No question that Geo Jr. was paddled last night. He was so pitiful that I found it necessary to tune away several times. "I could have done better", says way too many people. The G.O.P. needs to be cautious. Mr. Kerry is an articulate, polished…
I hate to admit it, but (drum roll, puh-LEEZ) Flipflop won the debate last night ... by not Flipflopping. He was on message. And Dubya seemed to keep pounding the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time theme too much. And missed golden opportunities to hold…
You can find my posts from yesterday under "Posts before October 2004." I'm going to bring a coupla of them forward today, so you can read what I was ramblin' about before the hard drive exploded. BTW, a big-time thanx to Ken Sands, Ryan Pitts…
If you're wondering what happened to No Holds Barred yesterday, I have answers. Sorta. The hard drive at Blog Central crashed. So, the blogmeister had to rebuild the thing. Which provided an opportunity to change a thing or two -- like the name. It's now…
