There have been a few calls and emails
asking what happened, and all I can say is that it involved some
Marilyn Manson Absinthe. 66.6% in a 65kg white boy is just asking for
trouble. I'm not sure who gave him the keys to the company car, but
it was not a pretty sight.
So what will change now that there is a
new woman behind the desk? Well for starters you will no longer see
any childish shenanigans my immature predecessor was so fond of. You
see, how Ryan ran debate was the way a drunken nanny would look after
a three year old: as long as he doesn't have to get out of his seat
and actually do anything, he didn't care what was going on. And the
result was a mish-mash of ill-conceived ideas and stupid pictures of
himself. The mere fact that he calls it a "Jeditorial" tells me
that he didn't take his job seriously.
One thing that has clearly been
demonstrated by Ryan's lack of leadership is that magazines need a
firm female hand on the button, a Margret Thatcher type who is not
scared to ruffle a few feathers in order to get the job done, and I'm
starting with this page right here. This editorial page will no
longer be used for rants about nothing with obscure references to
Star Wars and Tool that no one probably gets and will now be a place
of rational straight talk and debate. True I will be the only one
debating the issues, but that's not the point.
I know that it may not be the best idea
to start bad-mouthing my predecessor in my very first issue, but
anyone who ever met Ryan knows that he is the most arrogant,
self-absorbed, inconsiderate elitist I they ever met, and I've met
a few. The things he says about you guys behind your backs would
shock you. I would never slander someone when they are not there to
defend themselves like that womanising, alcoholic, wife-beater. I
have known him a few years now and can tell you that his cheery
persona that you read is a far stretch from the man that he actually
was. Let's just say that he needs some anger management and leave
it at that.
Anyway, enough about Mr so called "Bad"
Boyd, his style of student magazine is not welcome in this new era of
editorial dominance. I know that I am somewhat confrontational in
manner which some people have a hard time dealing with, but I wasn't
hired to make friends; I was hired to produce the best magazine that
I could, and that is what I have done.
One of the first choices I made when I
got the job was bringing in long-time debate columnist Bill O'Hannity
as our new second in command. As the only writer for debate that made
any sense, he will become a valued member of my staff. He has shown
an aptitude for writing balanced and fair articles about important
issues and has great insight that you could all learn something from.
I'm sure you will all agree that this
is by far the best issue of debate this year, if not ever. And it
will only get better and soon be the antidote to all the liberal bias
found in every media outlet around the nation.
I should point out that for the moment,
you will still have to reach me on Ryan's email address as mine is
not up and running yet. Don't worry, whoever's fault this is will
not be working here much longer, I can guarantee you that.
