School districts near Yellowstone Park had been getting payments from the Department of the Interior. They shouldn't have been, and now the government wants its money back.

If you read Tuesday's USA Today you might be a bit perplexed as to the state of the American education system. On the front page, the paper blared "School is too easy". On the opinion pages though, its argued that kids "hate math" because they are often pushed into higher classes when not ready. As a person getting a teaching degree I began to wonder, what is a poor teacher to do?

A big part of Newt Gingrich's popularity has to do with his debate performances, which could be boiled down to a criticism of the media. While Gingrich is right, there are problems with the media, it’s not exactly how he sees it.

Occupy Pawnee: Parks and Recreation has an opportunity to look at the role corporations play in government, but will they?

As I usually clarify before these diaries, I am not a Montana native and have only lived here for a little over a year. That said, I find the politics interesting and love talking about them. Consider this a conversation starter of a diary for Montanans to discuss the future of the Democratic party in the state.

I was born in a small town in Idaho, and now live in a slightly larger town in Montana. For the majority of my life I lived in rural America. I've lived in places where voting Democrat has (or would have) put me in the distinct minority. Now I'm thinking that rural America is where Democrats can take their stand.

In November, I watched Republicans sweep into power in Montana. I figured the session would be bad, but the Legislative session has been literally insane. And then a bill from the Hi-Line floored me.

I've been a little bit surprised this past week at the amount of support that Nancy Pelosi has been getting here at the Kos. Let me explain...

After years of poking around the Daily Kos, I've finally decided to join and write a diary. I've developed a sense of urgency that I hope spreads through the rest of the Democratic base.
