A little news from our Western neighbors

Wednesday, November 14, 2018 12:45 PM

Some of my go-to newspaper websites are in places I’ve enjoyed visiting, like Sheridan, Wyo., for instance. After arriving in Sheridan some three decades ago in cowboy boots, a flannel shirt and Levi’s, I was asked by a few locals if I was in town as part of the big rodeo. I wasn’t. But the timing was funny, since almost every other out-of-towner was dressed like me – and there for the rodeo – the annual Sheridan-WYO-Rodeo that began in 1931.

Yes, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told one wicked truth last week. But before he demands that countries like Iran start acting “normal” or face starvation, perhaps he should look in the mirror. Are Pompeo and the neocons “normal”? I don’t think so.
