Some of the more interesting things found in QandO posts from the left during a review of this year. First, let’s do a little comparing and contrasting: Carl Levin in March, 1999: “Whether we like it or not, the Balkans is an important crossroads. […] This is not the time to take risks in undermining […]

… and the far left, predictably, are losing it. Publius Pundit has the details on the official NYT announcement of the Weekly Standard editor’s hiring, as well as links to the foaming at the mouth frenzy on display this weekend by The Usual Suspects, who are wondering if the NYT will “balance” Kristol with another […]

I have reprinted, at my blog Likelihood of Success, a few “best of” posts these last couple of weeks of the year. Best of me, says me, kind of thing. Now that J. K. Rowling may upend not only whatever degree of artistic resolution she achieved with the seventh book but my title as well, […]

Or should that be pink balloons? Really heavy ones that plow through the mantle of the Earth. Let’s start with the Democrats 6 for ’06. What were they? Honest leadership and open government Energy independence A healthcare system that works for everyone Real security Economic prosperity and educational excellence Secure retirement Let’s see: they passed […]

Why do we care about the Middle East? When people ask me that question, it still shocks me. Do they really not get it? Maybe with the murder of Benazar Bhutto of Pakistan, we need a reminder why it is in America’s, in the world’s best interest, to care about this sandy, forsaken landscape half-way […]

Isn’t it time for us to go back to small government? The video below is a great companion piece to my friend Gribbit’s post: Fred Thompson – Conservative, Strict Constructionist, Federalist “Before anything else, folks in Washington ought to be asking first and foremost, “Should government be doing this? And if so, then at what […]

Well, don’t get me wrong…he’s had many, many potential ones. He has had to come back and correct his mis-statements with the media too many times. Why is this one the major one? It is the one that the MSM is actually picking up on. I heard ol’ Carl Cameron on FOX news just say […]

is neither “scientific” nor a “concensus”: “Of the 51 UK contributors to the report, there were 5 economists, 3 epidemiologists, 5 who were either zoologists, entomologists, or biologists. 5 worked in civil engineering or risk management / insurance. 7 had specialisms in physical geography (we gave the benefit of the doubt to some academics whose […]

Update #1: From 5:20 PM to 6 PM EST today, I am going to be doing a radio appearance on WHO AM in Iowa. You can listen to it here, but be forewarned, they’re telling me that they’re running a lot of commercials during that period. I guess they’re taking advantage of all that campaign […]

12) Mike Huckabee attacks Romney’s religion: In an interview with the New York Times magazine, Mike Huckabee asked, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Why Huckabee chose to give Romney’s supporters a chance to bash him for being “anti-Mormon” just for asking the question is unknown, but the comment, which Huckabee […]

Question: “If you were a resident of Iowa, how would you vote in the Iowa Caucuses on Jan. 3? Because Fred doesn’t have a great following in Iowa and no one else seems terribly stellar, would you consider switching to Democrat for the caucus and trying to get someone other than Hillary through?” — Agent_Westy […]

Question: “If you could go back and completely erase one person from the pages of history, who would it be and why?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: Hitler would seem to be a rather obvious choice, but he would be in third place for me. Second place would be occupied by Karl Marx because Communism produced a […]

Question: “You seem to have this “Huckenfreude” thing going on, and have said you like Huck better than Rudy or Romney. Aside from abortion, what is it, specifically, that makes you prefer Huck over those two?” — RtWingNtCase Answer: The honest truth is that at the moment, I have no preference between Romney, McCain, and […]

Question: “Mr. Hawkins – I know how upset you get when any liberal mentions Bush/Republicans and Hitler in the same breath. The current issue of The American Conservative has on it’s cover a picture of Guiliana in Nazi brownshirt uniform. Since you haven’t mentioned this at all, I wonder is it because it doesn’t bother […]

Question: “Based on polls (if you believe them) has the angst created by the ‘Rudy Paradox’ finally caught up with ‘leaning towards Rudy’ Conservatives, finally making them say ‘screw Rudy’ and vote for someone else? As you know, but others might not, that have been noted and preaching-as-practiced Conservatives (Sean Hannity a glaring example) banking […]

I’m putting together the most obnoxious quotes of 2007. If you have some suggestions for quotations that deserve to make the list, let me know in the comment section.

Today is Q&A Friday #81 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.

Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated and given that Pakistan is a chaotic, backwards, unstable country, inhabited by way too many Islamic extremists, this probably isn’t likely to help the situation. On the other hand, everyone is speculating wildly about the consequences of this and it’s very difficult to say at this point how this will […]

Poor Will Smith. He got in trouble for some comments he made about Adolph Hitler that were taken out of context, Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a “good” person. The I Am Legend star, 39, is determined to see the best in people, and […]

I finally decided to go ahead and buy a laptop because I need one to be able to go to conventions and travel for business. After conferring with a buddy of mine who does tech support for a living and sells computers on the side, I decided to get a Dell laptop from Wal-Mart that […]

Gag! With the New England Patriots now one win away from finishing the regular season undefeated, Sen. John Kerry is stepping up his campaign to get the final game broadcast on national television. The contest Saturday with the New York Giants is to air locally in Boston and New York. But outside those markets it […]

The race has continued to evolve throughout the Christmas season, although it’s a bit hard to get a good reading on things because of the dearth of polling over the last few days. That being said, here’s how things appear to be shaping up, * Fred Thompson’s (5% chance to win) numbers have been tanking […]

Here are RWN’s top referrers for 2007. Feel free to go check a few of these blogs out. After all, it’s only fair to send them a little traffic back for helping out RWN so much. Also, as a point of comparison — and because I’m a statistics junky — you can see the comparable […]

Or has it never ended? Rhetorical questions. Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer, best typified by this particular quote: JESSICA YELLIN: [Iowa voters] really take this process as a legitimate experience and feel entitled to ask “how are you going to fix my life?” Oh government will “fix” it in such a way […]

Want to see the above ad played in Iowa? Fred would too, but needs your help. Rick Moran is leading the way for bloggers to help Fred Thompson in Iowa. Dear Friends, I am writing to ask for your help. All of us know the long odds faced by Fred Thompson in his efforts to […]
