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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A couple of news stories caught my eye in the past week. In Chicago, the city council is looking at plans that would charge 15 to 35 cents in tax on sugary drinks. It’s estimated Chicagoans drink more than 100 million gallons of such drinks each year and consumption would generate almost $130 million in […]
