http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 25, 2006. Some Basic Business Sense. Moving house. shorthanded at work. spending all available non-family time on personal IT projects for future billionaire-hood. not a whole lot of time to think about issues pertinent to the mission of this blog, let along to actually write anything. but. If the product costs more to make than consumers are willing to pay for it, then the product either will not sell, or (depending on the type of market) will sell at a loss, putting the business out.

Steel City Cowboy: Welcome to Steel City Cowboy
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/2005/10/welcome-to-steel-city-cowboy.html
Monday, October 17, 2005. Welcome to Steel City Cowboy. I've been blogging for over two years on my personal/family site: The Hess Report. Occasionally, I've written about political issues there, mostly relating to firearms, the war against Islamic fascists or taxes. It was never what the site was intended for, but from time to time, it would find its way out of my head and onto the keyboard. What won't you see here? What will you see? Well, me. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - the Steel City, so...

Steel City Cowboy: July 2006
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 08, 2006. Several people, both in blogs and to me in person, have remarked about the oddity of the current situation both in our own country and now surfacing in Mexico. It seems that the left and the right are almost exactly equal in proportion, at least when it comes to elections. Given knowledge base A, the final outcomes distribute normally over THIS range. Given B, they distribute over a different one, but still follow the normal pattern. I'm an independent thinker! I'm one of a kind!

Steel City Cowboy: December 2005
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2005_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 29, 2005. Men, Higher Education and the Marketplace. At the Weekly Standard online, which I found through Instapundit. Argues that the declining application, acceptance and graduation of males at four your colleges shows the malefic effects of Title IX, as well as an increasing war in the primary and secondary public school systems against what are considered standard males traits, and that a great and scandalous disservice is being perpetrated upon young American males. A 2002 breakdo...

Steel City Cowboy: May 2006
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 03, 2006. All They Want Is An End To The War! Comes a little blurb about a gas price war. The good bit is at the end. WESTMORELAND COUNTY, Pa. - There was a gas war in Westmoreland County on Tuesday, but it didn't last long. Two gas stations dropped prices dramatically to compete with each other. Prices for regular unleaded made their way to $2.36 per gallon. Pretty good. The free market at work! Apparently lots of people agreed:. And now, the fun part:. Nope Now, they're insisting that st...

Steel City Cowboy: August 2006
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 17, 2006. Life On A Suburban Cul-De-Sac. To kill both myself and my family, and push my house down the hillside into the river. To beat the piss out of you, and get the neighborhood to finally put you under house arrest, because up until now they've been letting you run around the cul-de-sac and inviting you over for tea. Over to your house. You're on the front porch. Being a good citizen, I have a couple of guns at home, but decided that this would be better settled without them. You ge...

Steel City Cowboy: January 2006
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 14, 2006. Some True Stifling of Dissent. I'm used to hearing leftists whine that their dissent is being stifled when someone in the government criticizes them or verbally disagrees with their viewpoint in a high profile manner. Their claims look even sillier than usual though, when contrasted with the real deal:. Who are attempting to mount a massive "throw the bums out" campaign. I hope they succeed. Are you completely insane? A lot of people can argue fine points of what the First Ame...

Steel City Cowboy: November 2005
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2005_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2005. Why the U.S. Cannot Defeat the Insurgency in Iraq. Don't let the title fool you. It's not what you think. Also, blurb about why this is relevant to the Senate legislation in the Postscript below. So who are we fighting now? So, why do I say that we cannot defeat the forces arrayed against us in Iraq? So what's the point of being there? So, to parse the misleading title of this piece a bit differently, as long as we are fighting in Iraq, we will not be able to stop the insurgen...

Steel City Cowboy: March 2006
http://steelcitycowboy.harkyman.com/archive/2006_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 13, 2006. Click-It or Ticket. Or Bite Me. I'm really busy in other aspects of my life (work, creative, personal/financial), so I've had almost no time to blog. This, however, is one of the few things that gets me, um, exercised, so here it is (from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette):. Headline: State police want law to allow traffic stop just for belt violation. Subhead: Lobbying for tougher seat belt law. He seems to think that his job is protecting people. HARRISBURG - The commander of the Penn...
