The Case for a Shah of Iraq
 General 
Bruce Walker
The success of the surge and the failure of the Iraqi democracy to take work well should lead us to consider pushing the Iraqi people into a different direction. Iraqi sovereignty is one important domestic problem, and that can be provided by a leader who is not chosen by the people. A good Shah, in whom a majority of the Iraqi leaders had confidence, might be the best solution. The sort of parliamentary democracy that Iraq has is, probably, the worst of several forms of democracy that could be chosen for Iraq.

The Legal Mess Anna Nicole Made
General
Chuck Muth
Last month Anna Nicole Smith’s will was admitted to probate. Up for grabs is $710,000 - maybe more depending on the final outcome of Marshall v. Marshall. Yes, that’s right. Even though Smith is dead, her lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars from the estate of octogenarian billionaire J. Howard Marshall continues. The heirs of the heirs are now fighting this fight.

The Deadliest Catch: A Tale of Exceptional Men
General
Carey Roberts
A mayday alarm pierced the metallic walls of the Coast Guard outpost on Kodiak Island. The Ocean Challenger, stranded 90 miles off the Alaska Peninsula, was being pummelled by water surging two stories high. In the words of pilot Jerred Williams, “The waves were so high you actually got white caps at the top of the wave.”

A Nation of Sleepwalkers—Even Southerners Forget Their History
General
Warner Todd Huston
Many Americans from the north like to scoff that our southern brethren are still fighting the Civil War, treating them as if they are unaware that the war was over nearly 150 years ago. It has been so often repeated that southerners are still “Confederate” that the stereotype of the southerner looking to the past instead of the future is secure in northerner’s minds. Would that it were true that all southerners are so fond of their history because it appears that even one of the most famous Confederate cemeteries in the Confederacy’s very own capitol is being forgotten, uncared for, and repeatedly vandalized.

The Value of Anger
General
Paul A. Ibbetson
We have always been taught that anger is a bad thing that should be hidden, suppressed, bottled up, and generally denied expression by any means necessary. To mention the possibility that there may be a time and place where anger may be of value, if not of necessity, is to place oneself in direct jeopardy of being labeled a “hate monger” or something worse. However, I believe there is a very distinct delineation of the displays of anger that may change the minds of some on this contentious emotion, and none too soon. If we look carefully, we can see there are three forms of anger: directionless anger, negative anger, and righteous anger. Bear with me.

But Whitey Started it!
General
Erik Rush
I had a tremendously interesting experience early last week when I appeared on a media venue broadcasted out of the Northeastern U.S. It was a Christian-leaning afrocentric radio station with a blowtorch of a signal that reaches from Ontario to parts of Pennsylvania. I’d been approached by one of the hosts to discuss - once again - “Obamination”, my February 2007 expose on Trinity United Church in Chicago which is attended by presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
