Year: 2003

Oh yeah, this is going to work… “Strapped for cash, reclusive North Korea is looking to attract foreign tourists to its forested mountains and showpiece capital, a travel industry official said. “We definitely got the impression that people were quite keen to see more international visitors come in,” said Neil Plimmer, who recently led a […]

Here’s a fun theoretical exercise I’ve been meaning to try for a while, but have deliberately (you’ll see why) not thought too much about in detail. Let’s say, just for the heck of it, we found out that the Founders included a special clause in the Constitution that said on September 26, 2003 one person […]

As all of you know, we’ve heard incessant complaining about how the rebuilding effort is going in Iraq. Many people have suggested that we should turn things over to the UN who are even now showing their commitment to Iraq by having some of their staffers flee the country. But before we get our “allies” […]

I have learned that this t-shirt was sold at the College Republicans National Convention. That is just ridiculous and the excuse for it was lame… “David Joyslin, spokesman for the College Republican National Committee, said his group had nothing to do with the T-shirts, and was unfamiliar with the company that sold them. “We sold […]

Marxist (really, he is) New York Times cartoonist Ted Rall explains part of the reason why he hates George Bush… “First but not foremost, Bush’s detractors despise him viscerally, as a man. Where working-class populists see him as a smug, effeminate frat boy who wouldn’t recognize a hard day’s work if it kicked him in […]

I was flipping around the channel saying, “Dude, there’s nothing on,” when I saw what I thought was this Arnold Schwarzenegger movie I had never seen before. Instead, it was the California recall debate. So I watched the whole thing, and here is a summary: * Other than Arnold, McClintock, and Bustamante, there was also […]

There are a lot of “myths” that seem to float around on left-wing websites. Things like “Bush went AWOL from the National Guard,” “Bush was a cokehead,” “We gave Saddam permission to invade Kuwait,” yada, yada, yada. Usually there’s some grain of truth, highly disputed claim, questionable source, bogus article, etc, etc, that gets these […]

Tom Daschle uttered this boneheaded quote today… “Any time somebody speaks out criticizing this administration or its policies, there is this orchestrated concerted effort to attack those who criticize. Criticizing those who are vocal in their personal criticism, their approach, their concerns, is McCarthyesque.” So apparently, if Democrats attack Bush or his policies, that’s freedom […]

10. I’m a general and a Democrat… isn’t that wacky! 9. My day-to-day views on the war on Iraq are like a box of chocolates – you’ll never know what you’re going to get. 8. You don’t know me, but I don’t know you, so we’re even. 7. Pay no attention to the Clintons behind […]

It has been a long time since I’ve done an ACPOTI (anyone can post on the internet) article, but I was in the mood to see what the Nazis were up to. Could they be writing the networks and trying to get Hogan’s Heroes back on the air, but with meaner Nazis this time? Maybe […]

We’ve heard a lot of complaints about biased coverage in Iraq lately and if you want to see a perfect example of it, look at this Reuters article written by Suleiman al-Khalidi. It’s headlined “Iraqis Skeptical Bush Speech Means Brighter Future” and it starts out by saying, “Iraqis reacted with skepticism Tuesday to a call […]

Middle-East peace negotiations again fell through between Ariel Sharon and new Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei this week, when the two met at President Bush’s Crawford ranch to try and broker a deal. The main point of contention proved to be the security barrier erected by the Israelis between Israel and the Palestinian territories in […]

Last week, I dug into some education statistics I got from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and showed Americans pay out more per pupil than any other nation in the world and yet, our teacher salaries don’t necessarily reflect how much we’re spending. While we’re near the top in teacher salaries (we finished […]

A squad of Infantrymen drove up the highway between Basra and Baghdad. They came upon an Iraqi soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby on the opposite side of the road was an American soldier in a similar state, but he was alert. As first aid was given to both soldiers, they asked what had happened. […]

First off, I’d like to thank all of RWN’s advertisers for September… The Bloghunter – Weblog Index, The Catholic Samurai, Celebrity Morons!, Delta Star, Electric Venom, Eye On The Left, Ghost Of A Flea, Lex Libertas, Right Wing Nut, Right Wing Stuff, VitaminUSA, Widgets, Zogby Blog It would be fantastic if you could take a […]

When it comes to election politics at this early date, before a Democratic candidate is chosen, I pay particular attention to two numbers to determine the President’s chances of getting elected: his approval numbers and his polling numbers vs. individual candidates. Well, according the latest CNN poll, Bush’s numbers have for the first time dipped […]

French President Jacques Chirac called on the United States to immediately transfer sovereignty in Iraq to the “hand-picked American puppet council,” to prevent Iraq from becoming another “Algerian-style quagmire.” Mr. Chirac served in the military when a relatively-small native Algerian force overcame the vast might of the French military. Algeria declared its independence from France […]

Michele at A Small Victory points out a bit left-wing idiocy from the anti-capitalist goofballs at Adbusters. It seems the fine folks at Adbusters have a new advertising campaign called “Unbrand America?” What is that you ask? The whole point of it is to smear product advertisements they don’t like with a big black dot. […]

Hey, you put together a movie about vampires and werewolves fighting against each other in an all out war and I’m there! But unfortunately, the movie never really lives up to the promise of the concept. To begin with, we have all these vampires and werewolves going toe to toe and for the most part, […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 150 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of who they considered to be their “favorite political websites”. Representatives from the following 41 blogs responded… All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-20 ranked selections. The selections were scored based on a weighted scale. A […]

Congressional critics of the Bush administration today attacked the president for “the tragic quagmire” at the Baghdad zoo. The death toll for Iraqi zoo animals continued to climb yesterday, as a U.S. soldier allegedly killed a Bengal Tiger that was injuring another soldier. In April, American soldiers shot and killed four lions which had escaped […]

I’ve pointed out many times over the last couple of years how kooky the ‘mainstream’ left has gotten. Here’s another great example, I grabbed this image off of the front page of Bartcop’s Political Humor…. Wow, that is some political humor isn’t it? So who’s this Bartcop who posts these “hilarious” graphics? Some flake with […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Hurricane Isabel roared ashore in North Carolina yesterday, Democrats in Washington DC firmly fixed the blame on President George W. Bush for the ease with which the storm entered the United States, and the destruction it caused. “Bush’s lax support of Homeland security is to blame for this disaster,” said Senator […]

To celebrate the fact that IMAO’s hilarious “In My World” series is almost one year old, I put together the best quotes form the series. Read & enjoy! (Cont)

If you’ve been paying attention to the news for the last couple of days, you probably noticed some education statistics that have been making the news. It seems that the US spends more per pupil than anyone else, but we’re in the middle of the pack when it comes to scores. That’s no big surprise […]

I think this story is great job of showing how ridiculous the Luddites in the environmental movement have gotten… “Environmentalists sued the federal government Wednesday to get the Gentry indigo bush -a rare type of shrub – listed as an endangered species. Activists said they want to use the listing to fight Tucson Electric Power’s […]

Here are some excerpts from what I wrote about the French on Sept 9th… “…(The) French and German governments would rather see Democracy fail in Iraq rather than succeed. It would be a humiliation for America and as a bonus, they’d have a much better chance of restoring their economic ties with a dictator than […]

Have you read the latest stories on Foreign Policy magazine? The End of the American Empire? In 1976, French researcher Emmanuel Todd predicted nearly to the year the fall of the Soviet Union. In his latest book, Après l’Empire (After the Empire), he warns of the imminent breakdown of the "American System." The Falseness of […]

A merchant ship cuts through the water off the coast of North Carolina in 1705. Behind them appears none other than Blackbeard himself! He’s quickly closing the gap between their ships and time is getting short. Only the actions of new captain Jebediah Rall, the great-great-great-great-uh-great-and a bunch more greats grandfather of Ted Rall, can […]

Here are some excerpts from an editorial by ultra-popular left-wing columnist Ted Rall on ELF & SUVS…and yes, you’re reading it right, he’s trying to make it perfectly clear that he approves of eco-terrorism without explicitly saying so… “The environmental crisis is, hands down, the most important matter facing humanity today. Who cares about peace […]
