Year: 2003

Like many of you, I am going to be taking tomorrow off. So there won’t be an update on RWN. I know, I know…first it was a week at Thanksgiving, then half a week at Christmas, and now New Years. Well don’t sweat it; it’s just that time of year. I’ll be back on my […]

Here are my favorite blogs of 2003, ranked from 1 – 41. As per usual, do keep in mind that these sort of lists change frequently over time based on a variety of factors. For example, there are three blogs in my top 20 that wouldn’t have made my top fifty 6 months ago. So […]

After being on the receiving end of numerous attacks from his Democratic rivals throughout the weekend, Howard Dean had reason to be optimistic today when a new poll showed he could become the next president of the United States — if enough people get totally plastered before voting. The poll indicates that if a significant […]

James Lileks captured a thought I’ve had for a while now but haven’t gotten around to writing about, “…(W)e live in an era of non-contiguous information streams. I believe one thing; someone else believes another – and the bedrock assumptions are utterly contradictory. This is what drives me nuts about discussing current events with some […]

After a year of trudging through the Democratic Underground fever swamp, I thought it would be fun to put together the 10 worst quotes of the year from the DU. Picking out only 10 was pretty tough, but after much thought, I was able to narrow it down. Enjoy the wackiness, paranoia, and venom… (Cont) […]

Howard Dean has come out in favor of raising the minimum wage, “If elected, (Dean) promised to raise the national minimum wage to $7 per hour, up from $5.15. “Our philosophy is give the working people a little more money and they might be able to go down and spend something on Main Street,” he […]

Here’s one more example of left’s slide into paranoia and delusion that appears in a column written by Kurt Nimmo on the wildly popular (16k+ readers per day) Smirking Chimp website…. “Bush’s fraudulent terror alerts endeavor to convince America that “sufficient threat” exists to such a perilous degree from a largely mythical al-Qaeda that not […]

Sales of America’s dietary staples–cow spinal fluid and brain tissue–dropped significantly last week after the discovery of a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease‘) in Mabton, Washington. A quick survey of upscale cafes in the Seattle area showed a precipitous decrease in sales of spinal latte, a musky cocktail made from […]

Although all the details haven’t been released yet, the new Bush administration immigration plan sounds like a disaster in the making. Apparently the Bush administration intends to reward illegal immigrants for breaking the law by eventually giving amnesty to any criminal who manages to successfully sneak across our borders to look for work. The way […]

A couple of things worth mentioning… About’s Political Humor has chosen RWN as a nominee in the “Most Entertaining Right-Wing News & Commentary” category of the 2003 Political Dot-Comedy Awards. Believe it or not, I’m currently in 2nd place w/ 14% of the vote right now even though the other contestants are right off of […]

Now of course, it’s not over until the fat lady sings, but anyone who follows politics knows that the Democratic candidate, especially Howard Dean, is going to have a really tough time knocking off Bush. I mean think about it; Bush is a likable President who has had a lot of foreign policy success and […]

If you like the idea of a round eyed, pretty boy teaching the Japanese what being a samurai is really all about, then you’re going to love “The Last Samurai”. Of course, there are also some great action sequences & lots of “Return of the King” like walking around sequences featuring Tom Cruise and Samurai […]

To celebrate the capture of the Ace of Spades; Al Jazeera, in conjuntion with K-Tel, have announced that a collection of video and audiotapes featuring Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein will be offered for sale starting tomorrow via the internet. The collection, entitled the “Death to America” series, is a “Best of” of Bin […]

I’m heading out for my Christmas vacation tomorrow morning and this is going to be the last post I make today. As per usual when I go out of town, I’m going put up a few websites I like in the daily news section later tonight. If I’m not going to be here, I can […]

Have you ever wondered if you’re really a liberal? Well, wonder no more! Just take this nifty little true/false quiz and all will be revealed! 1. Bush was selected, not elected…like Hitler! 2. Criminals are victims too…well unless, they steal my old Joan Baez tracks. Do you know hard it was to get those? I’d […]

If you’re looking for a Christmas stocking stuffer, why not pick up one of G. Gordon Liddy’s “Stacked & Packed” calenders? You can support one of RWN’s advertisers & the G-Man while checking out a bunch of hot women handling firearms. What’s not to love?

Without question, Gadhafi decision to give up his WMD programs has EVERYTHING to do with the Bush doctrine. After Gadhafi saw what we did to Iraq, saw that weren’t a paper tiger, he made the smart choice and decided to get rid of his WMD. Of course, there are plenty of people on the left […]

I was looking forward to seeing the Return of the King, not only because of the stellar reviews it has been getting, but because I enjoyed the first two episodes of the trilogy enough to rank then among my favorite 100 movies of all-time. But unfortunately, this movie stunk! Pewwwwwwweeeeeee! I’m talking the love story […]

Libyan dictator Col. Moammar Ghadafi announced last week that he is shutting down his country’s weapons of mass destruction development programs, destroying remaining weapons stocks, and allowing UN inspectors full access to supervise disarmament. When asked if the U.S. capture of Iraq’s tyrant Saddam Hussein influenced his decision, Col. Ghadafi revealed that he could no […]

I have always wanted to interview G. Gordon Liddy not only because his book “Will” is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read, but because the G-Man has packed three lifetimes worth of living into his 73 years. Most people know him because of Watergate or because of his radio show which has […]

The family sits around the Christmas tree. The grownups sip hot cocoa. The children giggle as they shake wrapped gifts trying to guess the contents. It’s a Norman Rockwell, home and hearth, God-Bless-America moment. But when the Masterson family ventures into public, they’re not treated like full citizens. Archaic laws, religious bigotry and misguided morality […]

I must be moving up in the conservative world, folks, because I scored a truly HUGE interview today, perhaps the biggest interview in RWN’s history. As per usual, I’ll give you an opportunity to guess who it is although I’ll have to be vague to keep this one from being too easy. Here are your […]

This picture has been making the rounds on the left again, It usually goes along with an addle brained rant that goes a little something like this, “See, there’s Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam back in 1983! The United States used to be friendly with Saddam. He was our ally! We were friends with him […]

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch it, but I’ve been told Joe Scarborough just posted the “Saddam’s head on a platter” photoshop that I put up on Sunday. Thanks Joe! That may be the first time something from RWN has made it to Scarborough Country, but I hope it’s not the last.

Just hours after the announcement that Libya has offered to give up its weapons of mass destruction program and submit to immediate, unconditional inspections, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Libya must be given more time to make the decision to abandon WMD. “You can’t just announce this all at once,” said Mr. Annan. “Libya […]

Here’s quote of the day from James Taranto, “…(C)ommunism, evil though it was, at least was premised on a universalist vision of a better world. Why does the left now defend fascist regimes? Because they’re no longer for anything; what’s important is what they’re against: America, Israel, “Eurocentric” civilization. The motto of today’s reactionary left […]

Wesley Clark, the Democrat presidential candidate, said yesterday that if he were president he would have captured Usama bin Laden by now and jilted First Lady Laura Bush. “I would have gotten him,” said Mr. Clark of Mr. bin Laden. “And I would have divorced Laura. I just don’t find the woman attractive.” A spokesman […]
