Former Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-Montana), who has made no bones about letting people know he has the White House in his sights for 2016

Proving that you have to be nuts to want to get into politics, another candidate Democrats were hoping to recruit for Montana's open Senate seat has decided not to run! In a statement yesterday, Stephanie Schriock said the time just wasn’t right for her to throw her hat into the crazy world of the Senate and represent Montana...

This morning we talked about a new study on concerns about Fracking and some say it seems to be pretty good news.

Experience isn’t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine.

If you think you're saving the world by liking a page on Facebook, UNICEF Sweden has got some news for you -- you're not. Liking a page is a great way to keep informed about a charity or cause, but unless it's part of a specific campaign, it doesn't actually do much good...

If you have driven down Montana Avenue lately you have probably noticed that the Windsor Court building was demolished at the corner of 27th Street and Montana Avenue in the name of progress.

The U.S. Postal Service needs the extra revenue to try to close a huge deficit created in part by 2006 congressional mandate, under which it has to pre-fund healthcare benefits for future retirees to the tune of $75 Billion...

An attempt on the life of a Bulgarian politician was miraculously averted yesterday when the would-be killer's gun refused to fire.

Hey, did you hear the good news? We managed to avoid soaring headlong off the fiscal cliff yesterday. Granted, the House pulled the plug on a bill providing emergency aid to people whose lives were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy to do it. But they did it. Hooray!(?)
