Inside Huckleberries — 10/5/07

*Carl Gidlund told Huckleberries Online Thursday that he and his wife were surprised to find paraphernalia for Idaho State U and Boise State U at the new Kohl’s department store. But nothing for UIdaho, WSU or Gonzaga. He offered to buy an ISU T-shirt of hat from his alum wife, but she declined. It wasn’t all that good of a school, she said. Carl figures the lack of goods from local universities is a buyer snafu.

*Taryn told me that an advertising outfit has taken over her old BrodH20 site, keeping the header and loading the rest with ads. Isn’t there a way to kill an old blog site when you abandon it? So no one else can leech onto it?

*My Sweet Significant Other called from North Idaho College a few minutes ago to tell me about the 2008 Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre lineup: “Les Miserables,” “All Shook Up” (Elvis Revue), “The Bird Cage,” and “Once Upon A Mattress.” One of my all-time favorite books is Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” I didn’t like the movie all that much. I haven’t seen the play.

*Taryn’s story has gone national re: the Bonners Ferry woman who was forced to remove her bra by security guards at the CDA fed courthouse. It’s posted on The Drudge Report (lower righthand corner) and Fox News .

*HBO Poll Results (Thursday): By 150 to 83, HBOers said U.S. Sen. Larry Craig will finish his term rather than resign. And they’re right, of course. Only 5 thought he would appeal.
