Perhaps you find that harsh. Well, so are life, love, war and especially business for the vast majority of us. Unless, of course, you are General Motors, Chrysler, certain banks, insurance companies, a campaign donation bundler who happens to have a green energy firm or a favored political group, then life is a subsidy away.

First and foremost is the fact that no matter what man can create and say is weatherproof, Mother Nature doesn’t care and will eventually prove human attempts feeble. If we can’t even predict the weather patterns in advance of tornado, hurricane and winter storm seasons (unless it’s an average guess based on years of accumulated […]
Seriously, we’re $16 TRILLION in debt and running up an extra $1.5 TRILLION in debt every year and this is something we need, underwear that detects cigarette smoke? As Dave Barry, one of my favorite columnists of all time, would say, “I am not making this up.” According to CNS News, the National Institute of […]
With all due respect to the president’s jump-the-gun quote from a couple of years back, I’m not sure just what the answer is. And there are a couple of glaring examples in the news of cops acting: one national and one local. Obviously, the national story is the Boston Marathon bombing. There’s so much information […]
I know I’ll hear it about this one, but that’s OK. Because when one is a fan of a team, it’s almost expected that one feels the officials are against them. And to be fair, it’s not the referees’ fault. After all, Louisville had that kid with the broken leg. I know what you’re going […]

In a rather simple quote from the first century A.D., Tacitus said this about government: “The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates.” Find me a more appropriate quote to describe what government at way too many levels is up to in our country today, although I’ll provide another quote as to its reasoning.

Craig Hall, Publisher Any of you remember the television series “The West Wing?” Regardless of its left-leaning scripts and message, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Perhaps it was the way all of the liberal utopian ideas actually worked instead of how they fail in reality. Perhaps I just enjoy escaping into the romantic aura of […]
Answer: To oppose something that’s not the root problem. This might be the hardest column I’ve ever had to write, because I love chicken wings. Well done, crispy chicken wings done perfectly at Buffalo Wild Wings. And our local outlet is exceptional at providing me with the product I desired that all too many have […]
When I look forward to 2013 for our local business economy, the state and national economies and a whole bunch of just about everything else, I see history repeating itself.
