Liberal hypocrisy?
P. DAVID MYEROWITZ | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 8 months AGO
Gene Lyons’ March 27 column (“America’s oligarchs”) demonstrates the hypocrisy of this blatant liberal. Excoriating the conservative Koch brothers for supporting political causes, he dismisses the hundreds of millions of dollars they contribute to charity as “throwing money at their wives’ favorite ballet companies and museums.”
In fact, the list of Koch brothers donations includes: New York Presbyterian Hospital, $15 million; M.D. Anderson Cancer Hospital, $25 million; Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, $30 million; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, $139 million, to name a few of their $600 million in donated and pledged charitable contributions.
By the way, Gene, while lamenting the evil political dealings of the Koch brothers, you might have mentioned George Soros, whose Open Society likewise spends millions of his dollars on liberal political activity. But, heck, as a liberal you don’t need be factual... character assassination is all that is required. And if that doesn’t work, use the IRS and agency rule-making to shut down conservative views while promoting the liberal agenda through labor unions.

Inter Lake too tough on Zinke?
I am not for wasteful government spending, but does the Daily Inter Lake need to parrot the Associated Press’s repeated assaults on Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke’s air transportation spending ... and putting this garbage on the front page? After the liberal media got rid of HHS secretary Tom Price for using excessive charter flights, I’m sure they figure this is a way to get rid of most of the president’s Cabinet, not that any Democrats ever abused this privilege!
Was Obama team working to undermine Trump transition?
WOW! Can this piece-of-work we call the Congress and the drive-by media be any more pathetically one sided? Can their emphasis on character assassination and process overshadow the truth any more than they have obfuscated the truth thus far?
Creative problem-solving needed in Glacier Park
So Glacier National Park is considering a “one car in, one car out” policy at venues on dead-end roads such as Bowman Lake due to overcrowded parking causing a “safety issue.” I wonder how often emergency vehicles have had a problem getting to where they were needed at the lake. Not to mention that it seems to me a helicopter would be more useful in providing timely intervention and not be affected by overcrowded parking. My guess is that there are fewer than 50 parking spaces (excluding the campground itself) for the whole site, including people parking for multi-day backcountry hiking.
