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?

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 […]
As I write this column and the Business Times goes to press on a Tuesday, I’m prompted to write about two things that will be decided before most of you even read this: The Obamacare Supreme Court decision and our local primary race for Mesa County commissioner between Rose Pugliese and Woody Walcher. Yes, those […]
The recent election in Wisconsin got me thinking about the opportunities to change the direction in the country that should be plain as day, but are somehow missed due to busy lives, attentions being diverted elsewhere and for all too many, absolute ignorance. What occurred in Wisconsin was a simple exercise to re-affirm freedom and […]
By Craig Hall There’s an old commercial that had the tagline, “At BASF, we don’t make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better.” With one visit to All Metals Welding and Fabricating Company in Grand Junction, one can see that vision being played […]
Woody Walcher, that is. If you’re anything like me, there are just some things you see or hear that rub you the wrong way immediately. And then they stick in your craw, enhanced by their repetition. Such is the case with Woody’s latest set of campaign radio ads that now seem as if they’ve been […]
