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 […]
How else can we explain what we hear out of our state capitals and Washington, D.C.? Just how our elected leaders and entrenched bureaucrats can binge and purge so effortlessly and methodically should be a warning sign to all of us: Because if anyone should be losing control of our bodily functions en masse, it […]
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. Sadly, much of it isn’t very good. Let’s face the facts. This is the second of heaven knows how many fiscal cliffs we’ll face as […]
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 […]
