Judging from the MSM (I hate that acronym) coverage and commentary from some bloggers, seems he’s hovering between orange and red. Satire used with permission of John From Wuzzadem. You can read more of his work by clicking here.

Let’s be honest here: most of you don’t normally click on my advertisers. You know it, I know it, we all know it. That’s just life on the internet and allowances are made for it So here’s what I’m hoping: if you read RWN regularly and you seldom, if ever click on the ads, how […]

The NFL draft is coming up this weekend. In connection therewith, you often hear people saying, of a prospect, “his stock is rising,” or “his stock’s really fallen.” And ever since the equities markets started their nice, healthy (and overdue) correction, there’s been chattering about the stock market in political circles. On the part of […]

As per usual, the incredibly oversensitive, terrorist supporting ninnies at CAIR, have gone way, way, overboard in the name of political correctness: “In the April 5, 2005 issue of the Monthly Indicators, (Jeff Rubin, Chief Economist and Chief Strategist of CIBC World Markets’ Economic and Strategy division) wrote: “The first two oil shocks were transitory, […]

The Texas House of Representatives passed a bill banning homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals from being foster parents. “If the bill gains approval from the Texas Senate, the state will be allowed to investigate the backgrounds of current foster parents and remove children living in non-heterosexual households. All future foster parents will be required to disclose […]

President George Bush, faced with a teacher’s union lawsuit over his ‘No Child Left Behind’ public education accountability mandates, announced a sweeping new reform proposal for the U.S. Department of Education. Dubbed ‘No Bureaucrat Left Behind’ the new plan would address teachers’ union complaints about unfunded federal mandates by removing the mandates, the funding and […]

Take a look at this pic and caption lifted directly from Reuters: “Military honor guard enter the Buenos Aires’ Cathedral past graffiti left by unknown assailants that reads: ‘Universal Nazi Church’ and ‘Benedict addict XVI’ on April 20, 2005. The choice of conservative German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pope divides Latin America, a […]

“If the Social Security financial wave that will hit us is a scary 25-foot wave of water, the Medicare wave will be something the wrathful Old Testament God would send if he was in an apocalyptic mood. Think in terms of Noah — or worse. According to the Medicare trustees’ report last month, Medicare costs […]

Jane Fonda is a despicable human who betrayed the United States during the Vietnam War. She collaborated with the enemy, made Tokyo Rose-style propaganda broadcasts for them, allowed herself to be pictured stationed at a NVA anti-aircraft artillery launcher, and she denied to the world that US soldiers were being tortured by the Vietcong. Jane […]

We’ve been waiting for the details on the recent Gallup Poll which showed opposition to same-sex marriage at an all-time high, and now we’ve got it. Some of the things which I thought especially interesting were the results which showed that younger people (18-29) support a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage by a 56/39 margin […]

“The upshot is that the crack trade, even at its market peak, was lucrative only for those at the top of a selling organization. The gang’s foot soldiers made less than minimum wage and faced a 1-in-4 risk of being killed over four years. (In the same time, being a timber cutter, the most dangerous […]

An RWN T-Shirt? Shouldn’t you be buying one of those about now?

I’m not a social conservative or a Catholic, so here’s all I have to say about Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger becoming the next Pope: #1) If someone as openly hostile to religious people as Andrew Sullivan is furious about Ratzinger becoming Pope, then that’s obviously a sign that he’s a great choice. The only way it […]

Any diehard footballs fans out there who love nothing better than sitting around on Sunday with a few friends and watching a game? Well, if that describes you, let me ask you a question: how much attention do you pay to referees? If you’re like the average fan, you may complain about a bad call […]

Michael Kinsley wrote a post about “neocon” foreign policy that misses the point in more ways than one. Here’s the crux of Kinsley’s argument: “The great neocon theme was tough-minded pragmatism in the face of liberal naivete. Liberals were sentimental. They believed that people were basically good or could easily be made so. Domestically, liberal […]

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — Just six months after being captured by a Marine unit in Iraq, imprisoned terrorist and well-known “freedom-hater” Mohammed al Jaqar is finally content for the first time in his life. According to officials, al Jaqar spent time at terrorist training camps in Afghanistan before returning to Iraq and pledging his allegiance […]

Well, I had a “fun” afternoon. I did a little grocery shopping, picked up a few things for Patton at PETsMART and I picked up a nail in my tire. So I dropped the groceries off and headed to Wal-Mart where they took an hour and a half to patch it up (50 minutes to […]

Even though liberal media personalities continually deny the obvious, that the mainstream press is biased to the left, William Raspberry’s hyperventilation about Fox in his latest column was so willfully oblivious to reality that it bordered on being bizarre. Here’s Raspberry: “Fox News Channel — though the people who run the operation are at great […]

“The liberal Air America Radio, just past its first birthday, has probably enjoyed more free publicity than any enterprise in recent history. But don’t believe the hype: Air America’s left-wing answer to conservative talk radio is failing, just as previous efforts to find liberal Rush Limbaughs have failed. Wait a second, you say, didn’t I […]

Megan McArdle has an excellent post on why the Social Security Trust Fund isn’t really a trust fund: It’s time for another argument with liberal defenders of social security who argue that the social security trust fund is too real, because it’s got government bonds that have the Treasury secretary’s signature right on them! Any […]

Michelle Malkin & Power Line have been having problems with trackback spam (spammers who post the address of their website in the trackback). At one time, I also had a problem with trackback spam and comment spam (where spammers post advertisements in the comments section), but for the most part, I’ve managed to take care […]

Ann Coulter is not pleased with the pic that Time used of her on the cover this week: In the cover pic, the angle is such that Ann’s face is subtly distorted and it makes her look more mannish & less attractive. She almost looks like she has a sloping forehead in the picture. Just […]

If you advocate banning partial birth abortion, a procedure so gruesome that it belongs in a Quentin Tarantino movie, the left and some libertarians will castigate you for infringing on a woman’s right to choose, getting between a woman and her doctor, etc. Advocate banning ultrasounds, which are largely harmless and show parents their yet […]

Wouldn’t this be a great time to buy a t-shirt? I’m just saying…

“(W)hy is it that when a minor Republican staffer wrote that the Schiavo case was a “great political issue,” it was a scandal that was reported in every newspaper in America, whereas, when the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee says, “We’re going to use Terri Schiavo” in the 2006 and 2008 elections, the response […]

This morning at 7:35 A.M. I’m supposed to be doing a radio show out of Jamaica called “The Breakfast Club.” We are going to be “discussing the impact of neoconservatism on US foreign policy. What is neoconservatism? What is its philosophy? Who are the neoconservatists? What is the extent of their influence?” To the best […]

In “Sin City”, good is the exception, not the rule. If you meet an honest cop, politician, or citizen who is a decent human being who’s just living his life, he’s the oddball, the freak, the person living outside the norm. On the other hand, “Joe Citizen” in Sin City is a hooker with a […]
