About

The Hayride is a group blog covering Louisiana and national politics, complete with an invitation to our readers to tell us what you think of what we’re saying and contribute your own ideas.

The publisher of the Hayride is Scott McKay, who you’ll see posting under the handle “macaoidh.” Scott is a veteran of the media business, having published Purple & Gold Magazine, an LSU sports publication, from 1997-2004. Scott’s writings have appeared in a number of national online publications in recent years, among them Redstate.com and FamilySecurityMatters.org. A staunch conservative, Scott blogs on a myriad of topics, but most often he examines the conservative movement’s relationship with the Republican Party, the effect of modern environmentalism on our economy, particularly with respect to energy issues, and the civilizational conflict between Western countries and radical Islam. Scott began publication of the Hayride in April of 2009, and the current iteration of the site made its debut Dec. 1 of the same year.

    Implode the Well, Stupid!

    I've done a great deal of research, beginning the second day following the BP oil
    rig incident to determine the best method of completely stopping this oil leak. My first thought was to nuke the well with a low-yield thermonuclear device, like the Russians did in the 1960s with notable success. Since we can't use nukes due to existing treaties, I think that powerful conventional explosives would most certainly implode the well and stop the leak immediately, completely, and permanently. Red Adair killed many wells in Kuwait in 1991 using explosives, working with a REAL president and leader, George W. Bush.

    BP knows that this can be successfully done in short order, but they are so greedy and thoughtless regarding human lives and environmental impact, that they are willing to sacrifice the entire gulf coast to make a buck. The resulting toxicity of this spill will not only destroy the seafood industry, livelihoods, and the environment for many years to come, but will take its toll in human lives–cancers, brain tumors and other health horrors will result, possibly into future generations, and We the People will hold the guilty parties responsible. This spill could even round the Florida keys and head up the east coast. Hussein Obama is beholden to BP for all the money he received from them for his campaign, so we can't expect any help from the so-called president. Even if Obama wanted to help, he is totally ineffectual in terms of leadership ability; he's inept, indecisive, self-serving, sociopathic, and a man of words only–no substance. Only by ordering the immediate implosion of this well can his political future possibly be salvaged. I don't think he has what it takes to implement such an order. This disaster will most certainly be his political kiss of death. Barry, this buck stops with you, bucko! "Plug the hole, daddy"!

    This means that We the People must immediately and decisively move on this in a very aggressive manner. I will be blogging and talking with my Tea Parties and others here in southeast Louisiana regarding viable and timely options. I also will be forwarding this email to various individuals, groups, and organizations, including political leaders throughout the country. We expect real action from our conservative political leaders, and all who seek justice, truth, and life over lies, tyranny and death. We say, implode the damn hole! And soon! I hope you are with us on this. Respectfully, Dennis Keehn of Lacombe.

    Do you guys have anything to say about the Murphy Painter situation. I know there was a lot on The Old River Road blog about it but apparently it's gone. I thought that writer had moved over here?

    Hey Scott, Do you do interviews? I would like to contact you about an interview on my radio show in atlanta.  How can I make this happen?

  18. Ray Ray says:

    you’re using the word “Myriad” incorrectly here. 

  19. Exposefakes says:

    Scott, nice website.  One major issue here though.  A contributing writer you have, Austin Stukins, is probably the last person that should be writing about issues on your website.  This guy drives around LSU campus with a handicap tag, as told to student vets at a meeting, as well as bragging about his 80% disability rating, and teaching other vets how to get free taxpayer money for life.  This is happening all over the country, like it has at LSU with Andrew Bryson the fake Navy SEAL, who Stukins had a direct relationship with.

    what’s with the “lack of bandwidth” message all morning today  –  and the “data denied” last weekend?

    The Hayride did a great job covering the election.  I commend Scot for his fine job.  His idea took off and went to the top.

    Sincerely,

    Rhett Bourgeois
    Chairman of ARPEC (Ascension Parish Execective Committee)
