Question: “First, happy birthday John! My question is if let’s say you couldn’t live in America, for whatever reason, what would be your first pick of where to live and why?” — karensp9 Nothing against anywhere else in the world, but I’d want to live in a Western culture. Other than the US, the 3 […]

Today is Q&A Friday #31 at RWN. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be about politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, from a liberal, conservative, or libertarian perspective; heck, it […]

By popular (Ok, not really) demand, here’s a follow-up to an earlier post I made today: the “B-List” right-of-center blogs based on traffic (regularly topping 85k impressions or so per week): Ace of Spades HQ, Althouse, Ankle Biting Pundits, The Belmont Club, The Other Side Of Kim, The Political Teen, Riehl World View, Right Wing […]

It can’t be pleasant for family members of a judge who sit through confirmation hearings. Just imagine being in their position. Here’s this person you have great love and respect for, on TV, in front of the whole world, being attacked by a bunch of ill-tempered, blustering bullies whose goal is to destroy his reputation […]

You hear the phrase “A-List Blogs” tossed around a lot, but few people actually name the blogs on the list. Well, based on the traffic they receive that I have seen at Blogads and other places (I’m going to say around 200,000 impressions a week, average, qualifies), here is the complete list of right-of-center A-listers: […]

Like John Hancock, Rush Limbaugh, and Howard Stern, I have a birthday today. That’s right, today I turn 35 years old — and let me say that I’m not quite ready to join the AARP yet and complain about kids walking across my lawn, but 35 does feel really old — especially for a guy […]

Here’s one of the more, uh — let’s say “unique” — pieces of email I’ve received of late and, yes, before you ask, it’s real: From: Raymond Flowers rflowers1964@********* Subject: bark bark bark said the Bush drone Has anyone noticed the use by George W. Bush and Jeb Bush and the republican party of nasal […]

Michael Ledeen reminds us this has been going on for more than 20 years and the actions of many nations have been less than honorable when dealing with terrorist killers, even one who tortured and killed a US servicemember in a hijacking. This is a letter from Kenneth Stethem to President George W. Bush. Ken […]

Sacramento’s Out Of Iraq Forum sounds like it was a rollicking good time for anti-war lefties. Just look at some of what happened there last week-end… “…anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, author David Dionisi, 4th Congressional District candidate Charles Brown, and surprise guests–academy-award winning Sean Penn and author Norm Solomon spoke to a packed SEIU hall […]

And this it begins, again. Michael Jackson is facing new charges of child molestation following allegations from a 20-year-old that the singer assaulted him, forced him to have plastic surgery and stole his musical ideas. “It is alleged that my client was present at Michael Jackson’s residences and other places from the age of two […]

Now some of you out there probably remember that I was right in the thick of the pitchfork-wielding mob of conservative peasants that was figuratively storming Castle Bush after he nominated Harriet Miers. After all that, after at least a post a day for weeks hammering on Bush and Miers, you’re probably wondering: “What’s going […]

Let’s see. We just had Harry Belafonte call George Bush, not Osama Bin Laden, “the greatest terrorist in the world.” Then, there was the most annoying liberal of 2005, Cindy Sheehan, who said that Bush “is ten times the terrorist that Osama ever was.” Now, we have the loons over at Democrats.com encouraging their readers […]

You think the Democrats are gnashing their teeth over Alito? Well, in a year or so, if Orrin Hatch turns out to be right, you haven’t seen anything yet. From Matt Margolis, who got to hear Hatch speak at an RNC blogger forum in Washington: “Hatch also believes that there will another vacancy before the […]

NARAL has come up a mite bit short on their stated effort to gather half a million signatures opposing Sam Alito. NARAL’s Goal: “To Convince Enough Senators That Alito Is Wrong For Our Country, We Are Setting A Goal Of Gathering 500,000 Petition Signatures To Deliver To The Senate.” (NARAL Email, “Just 5 Days Left!” […]

Sadly, retired New York Times journalist David E. Rosenbaum died this week-end after taking a severe beating in what appears to have been a robbery. It’s a tragic event — or — or — or is it a cleverly executed assassination organized by the Bush Family Crime Junta? Once you read what some of the […]

This is like some off-the-wall Scrappleface parody of what’s wrong with feminism and Europe come to life, but, I assure you, it’s not satire: “The 500 companies listed on Norway’s stock exchange face being shut down unless they install women on their boards over the next two years in a radical initiative imposed by a […]

I’ve always been a little skeptical about whether Sirius radio would ultimately work. After all, most pay-for-content deals on the internet have flopped because very few people put out content that’s so compelling, so much better than everyone else’s work, that it’s worth paying for. That being said, Howard Stern debuted on Sirius radio yesterday […]

The Shrub may have thought he could slip his boy onto the bench as easy as Harry Bellafonte at a socialist dictator convention, but the confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court was dealt a serious blow last week with startling revelations that he was once the member of a known sexist, racist, […]

There was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal taking Republicans in Congress to task for putting politics over principle. Here’s an excerpt that will give you the gist of it: “The real House GOP problem isn’t about lobbyists so much as it is the atrophying of its principles. As their years in power have […]

Here’s one book that will never show up my kid’s bookshelf: Meet the latest children’s author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in “My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C.” Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May. “I am very excited about the opportunity to create […]

Some well intentioned people would say this is covered under the First Amendment, but I’d have to disagree: “A hate group based in Topeka, Kan. released a press release on Wednesday entitled “Thank God for 12 dead miners” and promises to picket the funerals for the slain men. The hate group, which operates as Westboro […]

From RWN on Sept 28, 2005: As most of you undoubtedly already know, Tom DeLay has been indicted on dubious charges by a prosecutor with a history of politically motivated prosecutions. ….That being said, this indictment will result in the mainstream media spending months loudly and gleefully accusing DeLay of corruption while darkly hinting that […]

Germany’s new chancellor has some advice for America. In an interview, Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, says she will plead with United States President George W. Bush to close the controversial Guantanamo prison camp, where some suspects have been held without trial since the start of the war on terror. Just days before her first visit […]
