Inside Huckleberries — 4/27/07

* Danelle Reagan (pictured above with Sophie the Goat and an Old Goat), chairwoman of the local Wishing Star Foundation, tells Huckleberries Online she’s pretty sure that Sophie’s alive. Sophie ? That’s the goat that sheriff’s Capt. Ben Wolfinger dropped on me a coupla weeks back. It cost me a cool $75 to send it along to P&Zer Mary Souza . Who, in turn, tried to drop it on Mayor Sandi Bloem . But the mayor couldn’t be found until time ran out. Danelle and volunteers from both Spokane and Coeur d’Alene raised $24,000 from the drive-by goatings. Of Sophie’s health, Danelle said: “I would have heard (if something had happened to the kid).”

* Stebbijo found some porn on a 2005 HBO Best of the Local Blogs link to a former blog that she wrote as the “Angry Commentator.” Seems she abandoned the site and a porn company picked it up. She explains it here .

*I posted in the comments section a few days ago about a private meeting in late January among The Duane , Coeur d’Alene Press M.E. Mike Patrick and three anti-LCDCers. But I didn’t name names. Now, I will: Duane Rasmussen, Matt Roetter and Dan Gookin . Huckleberries hears … that Patrick insisted on the meeting. And that The Duane had some reservations about the anti-LCDCers point of view. However, he did accept a pile of information from them. Since then, of course, Mary Souza has launched her weekly column attacks in Brand X against LCDC with Larry Spencer and Gookin getting into the act lately. Meanwhile, Rassmussen and Roetter try to hide in the background (except when they joined Gookin for that wild goose chase involving that misguided tip about Marshall Chesrown illegally diverting the Spokane River). Interesting, hunh?
