Copper Ignores “FIRE LANE” To Park Scooter
After all the heat the Boise copper took parking a squad car in a motorcycle space at City Hall (he eventually paid a hefty parking ticket) it is nothing shy of ironic that a motyorcycle copper parked his scooter in front of a NO PARKING FIRE LANE sign Thursday at the Cole Station post office. […]
Broncos Win, Now Its On To Legislature
Now that BSU has won another Fiesta Bowl, there won’t be much to talk about until the legislature comes back to town to figure how to keep government afloat with less money. Oh sure, we will have a few days of news about how Boise still gets no respect, but the media pundits are ready […]
Parks Plan Could Solve Trolley Issue
Boise Parks workers have come up with a plan that could solve the goose problem AND the trolley debate. At a February 2009 meeting, Boise’s Park Board voted to pursue a plan to use stray border collie dogs from the Humane Society, trained by prison inmates to chase the pooping geese out of the parks.

As the legacy media does its annual TOP TEN stories to fill space between the holidays, the GUARDIAN has done the same thing based on what we have posted in the past year.

GUARDIAN Christmas Wish List
For those who believe in Santa Clause, we have a Christmas wish list which has plenty of room for additional items. A toy train for Dave Bieter so he will stop trying to force a trolley and AMTRAK upon the kind, decent inhabitants of the City of Trees. A toy ambulance for the Boise FD […]
Fox 12 Reporter Wins Dope Award
A reader has nominated Reporter Mike Vogel for a GUARDIAN ” TV Dope Reporter Award.” Vogel has been in, out, and back in the news game and probably didn’t even think about winning a GUARDIAN dope award when he touched his tongue to a metal pole at temperatures well below freezing on camera. He was […]

Your Vote Counts More Than Ever This Year
With a really small voter turnout predicted this year–no state, federal or mayor race in Boise–your vote counts more than ever. Why? If voter turnout is as low as some predict–in the range of 15% to 20% of eligible voters–and with multiple candidates in some races, a candidate could conceivably win with as few as […]
Poet Paul Posts A Poll Plea
60 million to build a trolley When other things we need so much Things that are wearing out Like bridges, schools and such But the council does not listen It seems we hardly have a chance They plan to get the money From the pockets in out pants Be sure to raise your voice Don’t […]
“Chippendale” Hockey At Ice World!
We figured it would be impossible for Boise’s Ice World to beat the world-wide publicity garnered when two employees made a midnight food run to the Burger King drive-thru aboard a couple of Zamboni ice groomers, but this story of “Puck Naked” hockey may come close. Seems the Idaho Junior Steelhead hockey team rents ice […]

Force Feed The Taliban Halloween Candy
We read a story on the Daily Paper site about a dentist in Eagle who has a brilliant plan to fight tooth decay–and get some publicity in the process. He is offering to pay $1 a pound for trick-or-treat candy collected by local kids. It has to be wrapped and unopened so he can send […]

What It Takes To Earn Your Stripes
United States District Courts not only accept electronic filing of legal documents, they REQUIRE it. Apparently not the case with the Ada County Highway District. The Ada County Commishes have agreed to pay about $3,000 for a designated crosswalk on Third Street just north of Front. There is an employee parking lot on the west […]
