I was dashing through the snow for my high noon appointment to interview Santa Clause, when I spotted the one-horse open sleigh in the stable to my right. It was a bit dark at the North Pole, even at noon, but that was ok because Santa had a beacon, Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer. Santa told me that if I got lost to look for the beacon and sure enough, lighting up the stable was Rudolph’s red nose. Rudolph, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, and Garmen in the stable playing hot hay, it’s a reindeer gam...

The virgin’s name was Mary.

Essentials For Life In this column, I want to compare what are considered essentials in two different realms the realm of the physical world and the spiritual realm. Let me start with the physical.

The body can't live without it is essential. The second is water. Although it varies some, scientists say that the adult human body consists of approximately 60% water....
Now What? Now that the last desperate attempts to salvage the national election process are underway. I don't believe that Congress will do the heavy lifting in President Trump's administration's final days to redeem themselves. All branches are proving themselves to be cowards, without honor or integrity. So, accepting that premise, what can we do? Taking the concept that 'All politics are local.' The best ideas and solutions are to be found locally. I believe Musselshell County is ready for a tea-party type movement. This group should focus...

In Joe Biden's "Emergency Action Plan to Save the Economy," the president-elect proposes to "[f]orgive a minimum of $10,000 per person of federal student loans." Wait, some protest. That would be a subsidy for the more well-off, at the expense of the less well-off. They have a point. "[D]ebt relief overall, the New York Times notices, "would disproportionately benefit middle- to upper-class college graduates ... especially those who attended elite and expensive institutions, and people with lucrative professional credentials like law and...
