Ever hear of Rudy Stanko, well-known in Montana two-plus years ago? Rudy “Stinko” you say? Well, maybe. Here’s the story. Rudy liked to speed, and it was easy for him to do so because from 1955-1974 and again from 1995-1999, the speed limit in our state was “reasonable and prudent” in the opinion of the arresting officer. This worked well enough when the spirit of the law was respected, but then along came Rudy. In one three-month period, he was clocked exceeding 100 mph three times. Our law enforcement and judicial...

There was a time when, none of us who love the game could have imagined a summer without pro baseball. I mean, after all, it is America's favorite pastime. But, for the last few months, it has looked more, and more like Major League Baseball was going to have to be shelved for 2020. First, it was COVID-19 that stopped the baseball season from ever really starting. And while COVID is still in play, for a while, it looked like once again, it was going to be money and greed that...
