Patients Fail to Notice Physician ‘Slowdown’ Protest By Scott Ott: (2003-02-03) — Although more than 1,300 New Jersey physicians staged a work slowdown Monday to protest the high cost of malpractice insurance, patients reported no difference in service. “Sure, I sat there naked under that flimsy gown for several hours, but what’s new?” said Alan […]

Superhero Wanted By Ozrael: Are you a bored millionaire playboy? An evolutionarily deviant offshoot from humanity? A time traveler from the future armed with a deadly plethora of high-tech weaponry? A Norse God fallen to Earth in mortal form destined to return gloriously to the halls of Valhalla? A genetically engineered super-soldier? Perhaps you are […]

The Wartime Glossary By Rand Simberg: For those who, like me, seem to be watching coverage of the Iraq situation as reported by people from a bizarro dimension, in which they speak a language very similar to English, but with subtle and confusing differences, I think that I’ve finally broken the code, and have thus […]

Did Al Qaeda Hire Eric Margolis To Write Press Releases?: You have got to read this editorial by Eric Margolis in the Toronto Sun. This exact same editorial could appear, unedited on an Al-Qaeda website. In fact, the only thing missing is a call to Jihad against America. You think I’m exaggerating? Let me give […]

Fisking Bill Bradley On The War: Former Presidential candidate Bill Bradley has penned an editorial saying that George Bush hasn’t made the case for invading Iraq. I took a look at what Mr. Bradley had to say and wrote out a point by point response… The State of the Union address was President Bush’s opportunity […]

Ronald Reagan’s Speech on the Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion (1986): Back in 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded during take-off. Ronald Reagan gave the following speech in response to that tragic accident. The names are different, but otherwise his words are just as applicable today. You can see a little of this Reagan speech in […]

Allah Has Made Sure That His Footsteps Never Touched The Ground Ever Again: It’s been a while since I looked in on the radical Islamists at the Clear Guidance forums. But, when I checked in today, I found that they were mocking the destruction of the Columbia. You can see the thread I got these […]

Columbia Is Gone: I normally don’t post on the week-end, but this is exceptional situation. As I’m sure all of you know, the Columbia “disintegrated in flames 200,000 feet above north central Texas today, killing all seven astronauts aboard.” The President spoke about the Columbia this afternoon and you can read the text of his […]

Welcome To The VRWC Dawn: You know, if I were a Democrat, I’d find this post on Dawn Olsen’s page disturbing. Why? Because, Dawn is talking about her recent “almost complete” conversion to Conservatism and juding by the comments, she’s not alone. Here are a few excerpts from Dawn’s post and from some of the […]

Dissent In America? No Way!: Thanks to Tim Blair, Aussie blogger extraordinaire and former RWN interviewee for pointing out this delightful editorial by Aussie Mike Carlton. This may SHOCK you my friends, but it seems there are people in the United States who…I can hardly bring myself to say it…disagree with George Bush! I know, […]

Whatever It Takes — Never Again: I wish all the anti-war protestors who are doing everything in their power to try to stop us from destroying the global terrorist network, had to read what you’re about to read. It might make some of them a little less concerned about the rights of terrorists & tyrants […]

France Bashing 101: In honor of our French cousins, allies, friends…ehr…acquaintances…here is some of the best humor from around the net that makes fun of the French… — France Surrenders to Texas High School — French PM: ‘It’s Great to Be Collaborating with Germany Again!’ — French Army to Market ‘Ultimate Surrender’ Video Game — […]

They May Not Be The Majority — But They’re Sure Not On The Fringes Either: In the Democratic Underground Post I did today, Brian had this to say, “The people of DemocraticOnline are the fringes of society. Their opinions do not reflect any meaningful percentage of the US population. So, I have no clue why […]

Mandela Opens His Mouth And Inserts His Foot — Again: Idiotarian Nelson Mandela has delivered another one of his hysterical & incoherent rants… “if there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.” Notice, he’s not talking about the Bush administration there…it’s America itself that’s […]

Ideology Vs. Politics On Medicare: I didn’t really mention this when I did the State of the Union review, but I am dead set against the new Medicare “reform” that Bush is promoting. At a time when we’re already running a large deficit and when the war on terrorism is forcing us to spend more […]

The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: Ah, there’s no better way to start the day than to read about what the whackos at the Democratic Underground are talking about. It’s almost like some sort of bizarre version of the “Real World” featuring insane people who aren’t alllowed to take their meds. Today, on the […]

The French Oppressors: Tsk, tsk, tsk…what sort of unilateralist colonialism is France getting involved in down on the Ivory Coast? Just look at this picture…. It’s obvious that these poor people are being victimized by French imperialism! They’re so traumatized that they’re even asking for help from the cowboy Yankee hegemons here in the US…. […]

Giving A New Meaning To Government Pork: Oh boy, don’t let the animal rights whackos in the US see this… “FARMERS (in Britain) throughout the country have 90 days to put a toy in every pigsty or face up to three months in jail. The new ruling from Brussels, which is to become law in […]

FDR’s Fireside Chat About Pre-Emptive Strikes: While I strongly disapprove of many of FDR’s domestic policies, I have nothing but the highest regard for the way he led America in WW2. Here are a few quotes from one of FDR’s “fireside chats” about the Nazis and their indiscriminate submarine warfare that I think are VERY […]

Saddam Hussein Takes His Love To Town By Ron Marr: Deep down Mindy Lou realized that Billy Bob was the scum of the Earth. She knew her cheatin’ husband hopped in his truck (which she had paid for) and took his love to town on every possible occasion. Over 12 years she had caught him […]

The State Of The Union Speech: I watched the State of the Union speech and here’s what struck me… — Did you catch Ted Kennedy snoozing? Hahahahah… — A great line to the people of Iraq, “Your enemy is not surrounding your country, your enemy is ruling your country.” — I was a little surprised […]

The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: If you want to see the left at it’s most delusional & paranoid, you have only to look at this thread on the Democratic Underground. Here’s the question that was asked… ArkDem: “Who is most evil..Bush family or Hussein?” Now let’s see what some of the posters on […]

Eight Great Underrated Blogs: As most of our regular readers know, I’ll make a list at the drop of a hat — especially if it involves linking other blogs. So with that in mind here are the 10 most underrated blogs on the net in no particular order… CrooooW Blog: I’m a big fan of […]

What Is Going To Appease The World?: I received an email today from someone named KuoYen Lo. It read… “I am a high school student, currently enrolled in a U.S. government class and I was wondering if there was any way that the inspectors could actually find enough evidence to appease the world? My take […]

Frank Advice for Universities By Frank J.: Duke Univeristy has invited invited Laura Whitehorn to speak on campus, originally billing her as a “political prisoner” even though she was in prison for the “political statement “of bombing the U.S. Capitol. And then the people who invited her acted so surprised at the controversy, because college […]

Does The Left Really Believe In The UN?: It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of the UN. In fact, I’ll be the first one to tell you that I don’t think that there is anything unethical about ignoring the UN’s decisions . However, there are plenty of people on the left who’ll […]

The Mexican Fifth Column By Tom DeWeese: Illegal immigration is about much more than fighting terrorism. Illegal Mexicans are pouring across our borders and, as a result, American tax-paid services like education and healthcare are being pushed to the brink of collapse. Each new report of activities along our 2,000-mile border with Mexico appears to […]
