If there’s a set of two-word, federal and state governing ways of doing business, it should be these two in the headline for this column. In fact, one of these has become the only allowed way government now controls the confiscation and waste of our hard-earned dollars. The other is becoming the way government controls […]
Wait, what? That’s a favorite saying my buddy Clark and I recite. It usually comes out when something obvious is stated that was being ignored or when either of us says or does something completely, well, nonsensical. You’d think calling for New Year’s resolutions in February seems kinda illogical on my part. But is it? […]
My mind works in mysterious ways. Otherwise, how could a casual conversation about car insurance take me back to one of the banes of my existence? Yet, somehow I end up at the National Football League and its instant replay rules. Before all you absolute, boycotting crazies start in on me, please note I’m not […]
Because when push comes to shove — and it’s always some type of force when it comes to government — that’s exactly what we’re living under now. Because once you strip away every bureaucrat and elected know-it-all from the mandates, laws and power grabs by politicos, who is at the core of every decision in […]
Holiday wishes will appear. But not until after I address a personal issue that arose after my column was published in the last issue. I got a call from a friend about cancelling his subscription. Granted, his subscription was ending at the end of the year. One way or the other, the timing was perfect […]
And with each passing day related to COVID-19, I have more and more questions. Perhaps it’s time to start asking them directly in some way, shape or form. After all, I’ve spent 20 years as the Michael Corleone of the media mob. You know, a member of the family, but a citizen. So conversations with […]
If you’re a fan of the movie “The Parent Trap,” I bet you just sang that little ditty. And whether it’s Haley Mills or Lindsey Lohan singing, the image in your head was innocent, happy and just darned cute. Just like most of America used to be before all the pandemic panic for the past […]
I could have written the headline “Of Colorado and Texas: a COVID-19 story.” But just covering airports and stadiums will allow you to get the gist. I’m also writing this off the top of my head because I’ll never get my head around the two Americas we’re living in related to the pandemic. My story […]
Yeah, now it’s kind of a weak headline when last time it was a little inventive dating back to a time when school politics were a big thing and my dad ran for the board because the school district needed a new sheriff and more than a few deputies. So does Mesa County. I’ve been […]
Snazzy headline, no? Well, it is to me. It’s a combination of two taglines my dad used when running for the board of education in my hometown of Monroe, Mich., about 50 years ago. One tagline didn’t work. The other did. But I’m not sure which was which. I’m going to use this column to […]
