  • I Don’t Understand Yet Again

    There is a new idea being bantered around in Montana that quite a few people think is a good idea. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/04/10/news/state/29-train.txt" >A southern passenger train route through the state</a>. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS A GOOD IDEA! It sounds like an extremely stupid idea if you ask me.<br />n<br />nFirst off, they compare…

  • Children

    Can somebody please tell me how sending Montana's school funding issue back to the courts for resolution is going to help the state of Montana?

  • Business Climate

    Mike over at <a href="http://thelastbestplace.blogspot.com/2007/03/home-again.html">The Last Best Place</a> has announced he is moving from Montana to elsewhere. His reason why he is leaving really caught my eye.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>To make a long story short I made the difficult decision to move the nuts and bolts of my operation to NoDak, where the business climate is…

  • Sleep Better at Night

    Residents of Montana can sleep better at night now. State authorities have <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/02/10/news/state/67-vintage.txt">seized illegal gambling equipment</a> in their zeal to protect us from the vice of gambling that they don't approve of.
