And I’m talking about a “Thelma and Louise” style landing in our future. You all remember the final scene from that movie, don’t you? I can’t recall the exact reason or line that made Thelma and Louse drive over the cliff, but I do know the two had hit the point where their behavior had […]
I guess I could do the totally abridged version and say the government spends too much, there isn’t enough to confiscate to sate its appetite and we’re going over the cliff no matter what. But where’s the fun in that? Actually, there’s no fun in any of this. Just ask Europe. How many times did […]
Perhaps by the time you read this column — as it likely will come out after knowing who the next president of the United States will be — our country will have a stay of execution because we’ve elected Mitt Romney. But I say stay of execution because, quite frankly, if we don’t change our […]
When I think about the ramifications of the upcoming election, it scares me to death, especially on the national scale. Everyone who knows me knows I don’t support President Barack Obama or his party pretty much across the board. But that doesn’t mean I think Mitt Romney is the answer. I simply don’t trust anyone […]
Have you been watching the NFL this season? Who am I kidding? Next to NASCAR (And no offense to NASCAR fans, but seriously, other than the wrecks, it’s just cars going in a circle), it’s the most popular sport on the planet. So of course you have. Tell me the horrible performance of the replacement […]
Yep, I’m talking about the talk-meister in chief, our president, who took time out of his busy, soak-the-rich fund-raising efforts to talk with all us little folks here in Grand Junction. Well, not all of us. Some of us had to work. Some of us had to make money to pay taxes so Barack Obama […]
I don’t know about you, but I was heartened to see the crowds at Chik-fil-A appreciation day in response to the typical, liberal overreaction to someone who dared say something the left holds sacrosanct. The fact local law enforcement had to be called out to handle all of the traffic should speak loudly to those […]
By the time you read this, I’ll be in the system. By the system I mean, into the dark realm of despair known as airport security, and ruled by, the misleadingly named Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Whether I’m a victim or just a happy fellow traveler will remain to be seen — or at least […]
At least that seems to be the campaign slogan for Colorado. Did you catch President Barack Obama’s latest campaign stopover in Colorado Springs last week? It would be difficult not to, what with all of the hype, promises and rhetoric that raged across the foothills of Colorado with more ferociousness than the fires themselves. In […]
The way Jack Hays explains it, it sounds so simple managing the companies he’s launched in Western Colorado. It’s just a matter of identifying and exploiting opportunities for growth. Hays puts it this way: “We find a need and fill it. We provide solutions.” Any good entrepreneur like Hays will attribute success in large part […]
