Year: 2003

We have tobacco, fast food, & reparations lawsuits going on, but here’s one dumb lawsuit that I think Austria has beaten us to — Gamblers suing the casino to get some of their money back… “An Austrian court has ordered a casino to pay damages to a man who lost 2.5 million euro at their […]

Democrat National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said today that America is not ready for his party to nominate its first openly-liberal candidate in the post-Reagan era. “Officially we have a ‘don’t ask-don’t tell’ policy regarding liberalism,” said Mr. McAuliffe. “No openly-liberal candidate will receive the nomination.” The DNC manual suggests that secretly-liberal candidates refrain from […]

As expected — well, at least by anyone not from cloud cuckoo land — it looks like the Palestinian terrorist groups were only interested in using the “ceasefire” as a convenient opportunity to take a breather. Haaretz has the details… “Military intelligence warned Monday that Hezbollah and seven cells in the Ramallah-Nablus area are planning […]

Some people are annoyed by crying babies in a movie theater, people driving under the speed limit in the passing lane, any movie with Pauly Shore in it — you know, normal stuff. While all those things irritate me too, I get more perturbed with some of the things the mainstream media does on a […]

Yesterday, the Washington Post seemed to have broken a big story. Here’s what they said… “Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and his deputy, Richard L. Armitage, have signaled to the White House that they intend to step down even if President Bush is reelected, setting the stage for a substantial reshaping of the administration’s […]

Ya know, I love animals — and not just with a side of mashed potatoes. Take my dog, Patton. He’s just the greatest dog and I don’t think twice about spending money left and right on him, taking him on long walks, playing with him when I don’t feel like it sometimes, etc. Heck, I […]

Vermont Gov. Howard Dean announced today that he hates President George Bush more than any of his Democrat presidential rivals do, especially Sen. John Kerry. “I acknowledge that Senator Kerry has a certain disdain for George Bush,” said Gov. Dean. “But my hatred for the president is pure, and deep and wide. My rage about […]

Out of all the gangsters, serial killers, mass murders, incompetent & crooked politicians, spies, traitors, and ultra left-wing kooks in all of American history — have you ever wondered who the worst of the worst were? Well, we here at RWN wondered about that too and that’s why we decided to email more than a […]

Just as a little change of pace, here are my 40 favorite hard rock/rap songs. When I head to the beach, I love to put these songs in my CD player, crank it up, and chew up the highway…. AC/DC — Back in Black AC/DC — Big Gun AC/DC — Highway to Hell AC/DC — […]

One thing I didn’t touch on in the editorial I wrote this morning about how The Gop Needs To Reach Out To Conservative Black Voters, was the fact that the Democratic Party is guilty of the very same racism that it accuses the GOP of engaging in. Of course, many people have pointed out that […]

10. Put two biological weapons in an arena and have them fight it out. Kill! Kill! 9. Finally get rid of those gophers. 8. Sell them to another country for a big profit. Attack country and steal it’s oil for proliferating nuclear weapons. 7. Hold world hostage for one meeeelion dollars. Spend the money on […]

As a party, the GOP does a lousy job of reaching out to black voters. Maybe we run a few commercials here & there or the President gives a speech at the National Urban League and we go, “See? We made the effort. 90% of the black vote is going to go to the Democrats […]

— I was pleased when Bush said, “I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman, and I think we ought to codify that one way or the other.” It looks like W. is going to pursue a Constitutional Amendment forbidding gay marriage and I think that’s good policy. Furthermore, this will give […]

TIKRIT, Iraq – With his sons dead and his bodyguard captured, former Iraqi President at large Saddam Hussein is showing less of a brave face about the Iraqi resistance, sources close to him say. Sources close to Saddam also wonder how many Dinars 25 million dollars go into, if it’s really as much as they […]

Day By Day captured the essence of my Democrats Who Want To Win Vs. Democrats Who Want To Vent post from yesterday with this cartoon… Now if only they could replace some of the worthless comics on the funny pages with Day by Day. I mean come on, is anyone really reading the comics to […]

RWN appreciates their patronage. — The new ads for July will be going up tonight at midnight. RWN currently has one slot […]

There are a lot of great movies that have been made over the years — but which ones really stand out of the crowd as the best of all-time? Well, we here at RWN decided to find out. So we emailed more than a hundred bloggers to get their opinions. All bloggers were allowed to […]

Whether it’s because they’re engaging in wishful thinking, trying to please our European & Arab “allies”, or just because they’re trying to come across as impartial, most politicians, the Bush administration included, usually sound like they have no idea what’s really going on in Israel. Anyone who’s paying attention knows that Israel is going to […]

It’s entertaining to watch the Democrats who’re actually interested in winning elections duke it out with the rabid lefties want the candidate to be a mirror image of them — even it causes the party to go down the tubes. In any case, there’s a lot of good news for Republicans in this article… “Dramatic […]

It seemed like such a simple idea — I’d just switch RWN over to a new host — one with a fully functional MySQL database that doesn’t continually crash like my old host’s database did. The next thing ya know, it turns into the worst disaster since Ted Kennedy got drunk and decided to go […]

In the wake of the attack earlier this week that left Uday and Qusay Hussein dead, many in America’s academic community came forward to encourage the remaining supporters of Saddam Hussein to “look past their anger” and try to discover the “root causes” of the American attack. Said Middle East correspondent and professional idiotarian Robert […]

While the controversy that this article discusses is infuriating, it obscures the deeper issue… “A group of Oberlin parents is adamant that one type of person should never teach their children about African-American history. A white person. These parents are furious that a scheduling conflict might cause administrators to reassign the black teacher who has […]

RWN has been redesigned and I think you’ll find there are quite a few improvements like… — A search feature that will allow you to look for particular news posts. — Archives by category. — User/pass required to post in the comments section. — A “retro” section where I’ll link older RWN articles that are […]

An Interview With Congressman Tom Tancredo (R – CO): I did an interview via phone on Friday night with congressman Tom Tancredo while he was at the airport. I’m a big fan of Tom Tancredo, because I believe he’s one of the very few Congressmen who’s actually serious about dealing with illegal immigration. Furthermore, Tom […]

Publicity & Props From Hugh Hewitt, MSNBC, & Michael Graham: Hugh Hewitt said this (among other things) about the interview I did with him… “My interview with John Hawkins of RightWingNews brought a small surge in purchases of In, But Not Of, driving it back into the top 2,000…” When Mark Steyn’s stenographer told me […]

So Which Is It — Are Our Intelligence Agencies Too Aggressive Or Not Aggressive Enough?: The American left is wildly inconsistent & hypocritical on a number of issues, one of them being how they say our intelligence agencies should have acted before 9/11 & in the build-up to the war in Iraq. Since that has […]

U.S. Offers ‘Liberty Package’ To Nations In Turmoil By Scott Ott: The White House announced today that the U.S. will no longer hand out money or send troops to nations like Liberia, which are torn by internal turmoil. From now on, to get the financial and military support a nation must implement a “Liberty Package” […]

The Web Really Does Bring People Together…To Eat Each Other: Just when you think the internet can’t get any weirder, you see something like this… “Berlin – “Are you max 30 years old, with a normal body, then you are just right for me. I want to slaughter you and consume your delicious flesh. “Please […]
