Year: 2006

Over at the Democratic Underground, they’re still talking about the death of Zarqawi, in particular, the baseless accusation that US troops beat him to death after he died. Not every person in the thread agreed with the sentiments you’re about to read, but nevertheless, these comments provide a window into the liberal mindset that you […]

There’s a lot of talk about the lavish party Mark Warner put on for bloggers who attended the Yearly Kos convention. How lavish was it? I’ve seen numbers between $50,000-$100,000 tossed around and that’s no surprise given how ritzy Warner’s shindig turned out to be: “If the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries were held tomorrow, former […]

Zarqawi lived for 52 minutes after U.S. troops got to him. There are lots of rumors about what his last words are, so here are the top ten possible last words of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi… 10. “So how big was that bomb you dropped on me? I was thinking at least 500 pounds; am I […]

The left is still furious with Ann Coulter because of her comments about the Jersey Girls — which just proves her point. Granted, she went too far when she said: “I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much.” But, if she’d have said they were exploiting their husbands’ deaths for personal and political […]

So, last night, via TiVo, I’m watching TNA wrestling, which is the alternative to the WWE. These guys don’t have a lot of really big, big, names, nor do they feature women showing a lot of skin, which is odd given their name, but they put on a much better show from top to bottom […]

After the 2004 election, Hillary looked like a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination. However, she has been on a long downhill slide since then. Although she looks like she’s going to be reelected in 2006 without breaking a sweat and is raising staggering amounts of money, the liberal bloggers aren’t fans and her pals in […]

From a silly Johnathan Chait column in the LA Times entitled, “Your silence is deafening, conservatives.” “A FEW WEEKS ago, I wrote a column about a paper that decimated the conservative worldview. The study, by William Niskanen of the Cato Institute, found that the conservative “starve the beast” strategy does not work. Indeed, since 1981, […]

Perhaps you’ve heard about the latest batch of Palestinian civilians who may or may not have not been accidentally killed by Israeli soldiers: “Both Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz indicated Sunday that Friday’s blast on a Gaza Strip beach that killed seven civilians may have been caused by the Palestinians, and […]

“Everyone knows that the attendance at Yearly Kos by so many traditional politicians (we’re also going to be treated to speeches by Tom Vilsack, Howard Dean and Harry Reid) assures bloggers’ place in the political universe. Shortly before Moulitsas’s speech, Joe Trippi gropes for the right metaphor, comparing politicians’ courting of this nascent movement to […]

One of the fringe benefits of a being a blogger is that you get emails from a handful of left-wing kooks who like to regularly send missives to a gazillion conservative websites. It’s not hate mail per se, it tends to be more like articles from ultra-liberal websites that they really want you to see […]

How about helping me out by taking a looking at all 12 of these ads? Is 12 too many? Well Ok, how about just clicking on 4 ads then? It would really help me out and since these advertisers are supporting a conservative blog like RWN, it would be great if they got a lot […]

I’ve put together my favorite quotes from Ann Coulter’s new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, which incidentally, was a fantastic read. You can read them all here. Enjoy!

Yesterday, I posted the Daily Kos and Democratic Underground reactions to Zarqawi’s death. Well today, I decided to complete the trifecta by posting a few of the reactions from commenters at the The Huffington Post. The Huffpo comment thread featured crabby liberals, a happy liberal here or there, conservatives pointing out that most of the […]

Left-wingers love to make up wild accusations about conservatives so that they can then turn around and use those baseless charges to try to justify their own outrageous behavior. Just to give you one infamous example, Michelle Malkin, among many other bloggers, posted some phone numbers on her blog that an anti-military college group had […]

Hugh Hewitt: I am amazed at the reactions today, and I want to read you a few of them, and gather your reactions to the reaction. From Richard Clarke, ultimately for the loved ones of troops in Iraq, (Zarqawi’s death) is not going to mean a big difference. Mark Steyn: No, that is pathetic, because […]

Is there anything left to that prosecutor’s case? One of the defendant’s lawyers has filed a motion that lays bare more inconsistencies and holes in the alleged victim’s story. This is amazing stuff. Osborn’s most damaging allegation is a statement from a Durham police investigator summarizing a conversation he had with the second dancer, Kim […]

Over at the Daily Kos, there are a variety of threads discussing Zarqawi’s death and I dipped into one of them, one that is featured on the main page. The initial post featured a post from Bush that was sure to rile up the Kossacks: It was a major victory in the U.S.-led war in […]

Hat tip to PhilDragoo over at Free Republic for the graphic.

“One of the most brutal, heinous, and horrendous terrorists was killed last night when the U.S. Armed Forces delivered 500-pounds of justice to Iraq’s ‘Prince of Al-Qaeda’ on behalf of Nicholas Berg, Jack Armstrong, Ken Bigley, Jack Hensley and the thousands of others who were beheaded, tortured, and killed by Al-Zarqawi and his henchmen.” — […]

“I think the news of the loss of any human being is a tragedy. I think al-Zarqawi’s death is a double tragedy,” he said. “His death will incite a new wave of revenge. George Bush and al-Zarqawi are two men who believe in revenge.” Berg said “restorative justice,” – such as being forced to work […]

The folks over at Strategy Page sure helped their already solid reputation by putting this up yesterday, on the very day that Zarqawi was killed: “Given that Zarqawi has become a loose cannon and that his actions are handicapping Al Qaeda’s efforts, it seems reasonable to expect that an accident may befall him at some […]

On this happy day, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been declared dead, I thought I’d head over to the DU to watch the grumbling. That’s because if there’s one thing that I’ve learned about lefties, it’s that good news for America tends to make them unhappy because they’re afraid Bush and the Republican party will […]

Congratulations to our troops, President Bush, and the Iraqi people on the happy occasion of Zarqawi’s Death! Update #1: It’s definitely time to break this out.

Due to unusual circumstances, there will be no daily news today. My apologies. The daily news will return tomorrow.

Because of the electorate’s anti-incumbent mood, talk of a third party has become all the rage. Peggy Noonan says that, “America may be ready for a new political party.” Howard Dean’s campaign manager, Joe Trippi, goes further and says, “America’s two political parties may not realize it yet, but in their current form they are […]
