The Right Stuff: January 2006

Friday, January 27, 2006. Terror and Hate Win Another Victory. When will the Democrats stop fussing and join the fight? Yes, our formerly un-popular president (who was popularly elected the second time around, at least) has advocated the dissolution of governance by democracy. Apparently, since we’ve only just introduced democracy to the mid-east, we can’t expect them to get it right all the time. So let’s go, status quo, and try again in a few years. I’m pretty sure FDR would have approved. But, for tho...

The Right Stuff: August 2006

Monday, August 21, 2006. The (D)Evolution of Military Leadership. If Liberals can support the troops, but not support the war a contradiction of sentiments so obvious and alarming that it warrants no intelligent discourse from news analysts(that is the reason, right? For your consideration, I present a stark contrast in the treatment of our troops by military leadership. Generals with this level of ineptitude make Custer look like a careful and contemplative strategic mastermind. Today I find myself unit...

The Right Stuff: June 2006

Monday, June 12, 2006. Learning From Minor Misfortunes. Without delving too far into the world of athletics, I believe the recent incident with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger illuminates two important discrepancies. The first regards the inconsistent legislation dictating personal safety, and the second highlights the ill-logic of many conservatives on the topic of individual freedoms. Roethlisberger was within his legal rights to refuse a helmet in the state of. Those costs include d...

The Right Stuff: February 2006

Thursday, February 16, 2006. New Evidence Vindicates President Bush. But underwhelms in the face of Cheney coverage. As ABC Nightly News reported probably to its own chagrin evidence in the form of previously classified tapes of Saddam Hussein indicate that not only the tyrant sought to reinvigorate his chemical and nuclear weapons projects, but may indeed have had such weapons by the time the US intervened in 2003, and could have potentially transported those weapons to other hostile countries. The grey...

The Right Stuff: March 2006

Thursday, March 30, 2006. The death of the American democratic system, or at least the failure of that system to continue affecting positive change in the nation, will happen for two reasons: overwhelming turnouts of uninformed and deliberately misinformed voters, and the nature of the two party system. In a way, the two causes are related, with the later being a contributor to the former. Regarding Sheen’s 9/11 comments. Indeed, how could one ignore well reasoned statements like: "There was a feeling, i...

The Right Stuff: April 2006

Friday, April 28, 2006. Analyzing the reasons and ramifications of increasing gasoline costs. I suppose it’s appropriate that I address the topic of gasoline prices, given the national hysteria over the recent increase in both the price of gas, and the price of crude oil. Arguing that Exxon’s management, or any other oil company for that matter, is evil for allowing such prices to persist ignores the basic logic behind the mechanisms of supply and demand. It is more likely that you will hear the current ...

Tuesday, December 27, 2005. The McCain ‘Torture’ Ban. Aka The ‘Do it When You Need To’ Torture Ban. If torture is ineffective, then why allow it then? Also, you may not have heard because no one wants to cover it: Sadam Huessein and his friend and ally Ms. Cindy Sheehan received a late Christmas present in the form of the discovery of more mass graves in Iraq. http:/ www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/12/27/iraq.main/index.html. Posted by Hickmania at 9:33 PM. Friday, December 23, 2005. This is what we. The Ro...
