  • Looking out my Backdoor: It was a dark and sleepless night

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Sep 12, 2024

    It was a dark and sleepless night, not a storm cloud in sight. I did the usual when I don’t sleep. I gazed out the window. Turned from my right side to my left side. Threw back the blanket. Turned from my left side to my right side. Pulled up the blanket and tucked it around me, a cocoon. Too many times. Sensible people, I am told, get up and do something. Binge on Netflix. Scrub the toilet. Read until their eyeballs fall out. Work an entire book of Sudoku. Drink a bottle o...

  • The $60 million "message" to Montanans

    Updated Sep 12, 2024

    $60 million is the current total raised from corporate/other donations by Montana Senate Candidates reported by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). FEC is vague if the total includes Super Political Action Committee (PAC) donations. The $60 million? Likely higher. As a former legislative aide at the U.S. Capitol for over four years we kept “The List.” Top money donors on top; $5 donors on bottom.

  • The Postscript: Used clothes

    Carrie Classon|Updated Sep 12, 2024

    I wear used clothes. I remember going to clothing stores years ago and buying new clothes. But about the time I stopped wearing business suits and flying in airplanes for work, I started going to used clothing stores. Then I discovered online consignment stores and, since then, I’ve hardly bought a new item of clothing except socks and shoes and underwear. I like used clothes. Of course, I like the prices. I’ve always been frugal and when I see how much a pair of new jea...

  • Down-ballot candidates who deserve attention

    Updated Sep 12, 2024

    With the tidal wave of political advertising swamping the media, the down-ballot candidates are completely drowned out by the PAC candidates at the top of the ticket. There are important details of down-ballot candidates, however, that deserve our attention. Take, for example, the candidates Erin Farris-Olsen and John Repke. The clerk of the Supreme Court is somehow still an elected office in Montana. Though ministerial and not a policy-making position, it is elected on a partisan basis. It shouldn’t be. Erin Farris-Olsen i...
