Call me Lazarus

Editor, I would like to belatedly thank a number of people — most of whom I've never met — who saved my life June 3. On that day, I was wheeling my bride, Penelope, who'd had surgery on her broken ankle the day before, around the block in a wheelchair near St. Joseph Hospital. While returnin...

Rick Perry means more debt

Editor, Before he issued an executive order mandating vaccines for sexually transmitted disease for Texas girls as young as 11, it seems like Rick Perry not only was Al Gore’s Texas campaign manager, but praised Hillary Clinton in a letter written on April 6, 1993, commending her for "Hillary care." T...

That was very kind and considerate of you to stop as we were heading home, going so...

Annual fly-in a hit in Polson

Editor, The annual Polson Fly-in was a huge success. Sixty-six planes flew in and breakfast was served to more than 300 people. In addition to having 66 fellow pilots fly to Polson for the event, the fly-in was made even more successful because so many people from the community came to the airport, viewed ...

First responders are heroes

Editor, As we mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I'd like to thank all first responders for their courage and dedication to duty. These are the men and women, who are always on duty and are vigilant in protecting our lives and property 24 hours a day. First responders put themselves into harm's...

Farmers market to the world’s biggest bucket: it’s all about business

Maybe you’ve seen my little giveaway lint rollers printed with: “Keeping Montana’s Economy Rolling!” It’s a silly pun, but my thought behind it is serious. I am proud that the Montana Chamber of Commerce honored my pro-business Senate voting record. I’ve never had ...
