Perhaps you find that harsh. Well, so are life, love, war and especially business for the vast majority of us. Unless, of course, you are General Motors, Chrysler, certain banks, insurance companies, a campaign donation bundler who happens to have a green energy firm or a favored political group, then life is a subsidy away.

First and foremost is the fact that no matter what man can create and say is weatherproof, Mother Nature doesn’t care and will eventually prove human attempts feeble. If we can’t even predict the weather patterns in advance of tornado, hurricane and winter storm seasons (unless it’s an average guess based on years of accumulated […]
Seriously, we’re $16 TRILLION in debt and running up an extra $1.5 TRILLION in debt every year and this is something we need, underwear that detects cigarette smoke? As Dave Barry, one of my favorite columnists of all time, would say, “I am not making this up.” According to CNS News, the National Institute of […]
With all due respect to the president’s jump-the-gun quote from a couple of years back, I’m not sure just what the answer is. And there are a couple of glaring examples in the news of cops acting: one national and one local. Obviously, the national story is the Boston Marathon bombing. There’s so much information […]
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 […]

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 […]
