Jhwygirl makes an important point when she asks the question about Roy Brown’s intention to run the entire state when he can’t be bothered to file his taxes. I know this is an issue for lots of people out there, but someone seriously running for the office of Governor doesn’t get a pass like your average joe. This rhetorical question would be very important if Brown’s delay was a result of indolence… But it’s not.
Brown likely didn’t file for an extension because he needed more time–he’s delaying because he doesn’t want Montanans to see how deep big oil reaches into his bank account. With gas prices rising like my ire everytime it snows lately, I’d imagine Roy doesn’t want anyone to know who pays to fill his tank. No waiting till November; it’s time for him to come clean.

Before I get any grief about the image, I just want to say that I’ve been dying for a change to make fun of the Pat Riley haircut for a couple days. That’s it.

Yup. No need to disclose what you haven’t filed eh?

Thanks Shane, I did submit at Leftyblogs but haven’t heard back. I’ll give it a day or two and try again.

Do you think Brown got as much as Barry?
Obama has taken at least $263,000 from oil company executives, family members and employees since entering the presidential race last year, including $46,000 last month. At least $140,000 has come in chunks of between $1,000 and $2,300, the maximum permitted under federal law.
