Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "When Princess Antionette heard peasants did not have bread to eat, she replied, 'If they do not have bread, let them eat cake.' Perhaps Rep. John Bear updated that phrase to the 21st century."

Tom Lubnau: Let Them Buy Jets

Columnist Bill Sniffin writes: “During the first week of August, I traveled from Lander up to Lovell and then over to Yellowstone and then back home. This amounted to 538 miles of dry country interrupted by fertile fields, beautiful rivers, and spectacular lakes and reservoirs."
