Ted Turner has a 120,000-acre ranch outside of Bozeman. In Livingston, Jeff Bridges has a home and owns a coffee shop. Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid (before the breakup) in Livingston. Near Big Timber, 30 miles east of Livingston, Tom Brokaw, Michael Keaton(Architectural Digest June 1997 Cover- Featuring Michael Keaton's ranch) and Whoopi Goldberg all have ranches.

Mel Gibson has a ranch a little farther east, near Columbus. Kiefer Sutherland, Emilio Estevez, Joe Montana, Christopher Lloyd, Huey Lewis, and Andie McDowall all have homes in western Montana.

Keep them in Montana.

[Random Nonsense]

Great.. the Kalifornication of Montana. I wonder whether the native Montana people could afford the land there.

I would like at least 100 acres up there, but faraway from these people.

[OldFriend]

If I am not mistaken, Brokaw has had been in a war with some of his neighbors already.

I think that for "the common good" the states should seize these wonderful pieces of property so that all of us could enjoy their pristine beauty in a state park. What right do these rich liberals have to this land when all of us could be using it?

[NativeNewYorker]

Rubin's % of the divvyed up $8 million would barely be a rounding error to him. Odd that he'd bother.

[zerosix]

Sh@*!! These guys have ruined Montana. We need to have the State of Montana step in take their property and pay graze land property, then ship them all off to Canada, where they surely agree with the politics much more (save Mel.)

[all4one]

I would bet that they are getting some type of tax break, or government funding for listing this property as a farm or maybe a land trust, or green space. There have been more than a few govenment types, who are giving back to themselves by owning "farms".

"........Tom Brokaw.......Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin........actor Michael Keaton........"

Why does this bring up wierd images?

A menage a trois?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

LOL, I wonder if it was the dude ranch featured in "Nude Dude at the BarNothing Ranch"? For the switch hitters.

[RJL]

Tom Brokaw and actor Michael Keaton purchased a 640-acre ranch for a reported $8 million, creating a private hunting and fishing preserve."

I'm sure I've read that Tom Brokaw recently went to court and shut down, at least parts of, a private hunting preserve adjacent to his ranch out west.

Now we find out he owns a private hunting and fishing preserve. With liberals it's always " Yes for me, but not for thee".

Reminds me of a South Park episode:


Robert Redford: This is perfect. Why didn't we think of it sooner? This town still has some charm left, not the mess we turned Park City into.

Phyllis: Forgive me for being observant, but, won't we just end up doing the same thing to this town?

Robert Redford: Yes. And the town after, and the town after that. Like termites, we will move this film festival from town to town until we have used it up. And then move on, until every quiet mountain town is like Los Angeles.

Phyllis: Why? Why would we do such a thing?

Robert Redford: Because we have to live in L.A. And if we can't live in quiet, simple, peaceful mountain towns, then nobody will! [Laughs maniacally] Waitwaitwait. Zoom in to a close-up of my face when I do that. Ready? Then NOBODY will!

[Republicus2001]

is this the same Tom Brokaw who used to host a US TeeVee show back 20th century? I thought he was dead.

Birds of a feather.....
