McCarthy Was Right

Friday, June 27th, 2003

Many of us have known that hunting down those trying to subvert America with a 180 degree antithetical belief system was a noble cause, indeed. As politically incorrect as the sentiment may be, old Joe was right. Doing what is right will always be the more difficult and ridiculed choice for anyone to make as [...]

Dropping Out Isn’t So Easy

Friday, June 27th, 2003

The urge to do so occassionally hits me. Too bad it seems that finding a quiet corner of the world and dropping out of society isn’t nearly as easy as it appears. How about the Fed’s take some of this energy and apply it somewhere that it’ll do some good. Besides, who’d want to live [...]

A great American 1902 to 2003

Leon Uris

Wednesday, June 25th, 2003

Leon Uris died today at 78. I think I have read almost every novel he has written and am looking forward to his last, O’Hara’s Choice, due out this fall. Exodus, Trinity, Battle Cry, QBVII, Topaz, Haj and others sit on my bookshelf and count among my all time favorites.

The Creation of Indiana

Tax Dollars at Work

Sunday, June 15th, 2003

If this doesn’t make you cry then you’re an insensitive clod! Seriously though, it’s a real waste of good hardware for the sake of misguided political correctness (nothing new).

Time to move to Alaska?

Thursday, June 12th, 2003

While I do not care for the idea of 6 month days and 6 month nights, I like their politics, or at least what they’ve done lately.

Dick Cheney?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2003

While reading the article on the New York Times I was whisked to an older article on Dick Cheney and Glocks that brought an interesting thought to mind. Many of us are writing letters like mad hoping for the sunset of the nefarious semi-automatic rifle ban. But have we written the Vice President? The article [...]

The Old Gray Lady Ain’t What She Used To Be..

Wednesday, June 11th, 2003

Or something like that, anway.. An article of note floating over at National Review on the long history of lies and half-truths from the New York Times puts the recent scandals into a better light. It’s not about fabricating news, it’s about getting caught.
