Year: 2007

Investor’s Business Daily seems to think that the man who skipped the debate last night, Fred Dalton Thompson, is already out of it before he’s even gotten started, “Wlady Pleszczynski, editorial director for the conservative American Spectator magazine, says the long, slow rollout of Thompson’s campaign has backfired. “So far this year he’s been a […]

Yesterday, RWN’s readers were given an opportunity to propose questions to be asked to Fred Thompson. This morning, I went through all of them and here are the five that I picked out to be forwarded over to Fred’s campaign, “Senator, in light of the conservative orthodoxy of small government, are there any programs that […]

After compiling this list, I couldn’t help but notice that several of the episodes that made it had an unusually anti-conservative bent to them (for South Park anyway). I’m not sure if that’s because I liked them less since I’m so conservative or because Parker and Stone aren’t as good at ripping on the right […]

Here’s a message from the Fred Thompson campaign to the audience at RWN, On Thursday, Fred Thompson will be kicking off his campaign for the presidency in Des Moines, IA, touring through the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina before visiting Florida and returning to Lawrenceburg, TN for a homecoming celebration.

Larry Craig is apparently thinking twice about turning in his resignation at the end of this month. Oh joy! Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening. “It’s not such a foregone […]

Via Drudge, here’s a 1968 pic of Hillary, Wow! They should take every pic of her from waist level looking up. PS: C’mon, I know it’s Hillary, but you have to give the devil her due. PS #2: Also see, It’s Time To Take A Stand On An Important Issue: Chelsea Clinton Is Hot.

Dean Barnett wrote a piece for the Weekly Standard entitled, “The Lopsided Netroots: Why there’s no conservative Kos.” Dean’s a smart guy, but I can’t say that I necessarily agree with his conclusions about why the left side of the blogosphere is bigger than the right side. From his perspective, it’s all about how the […]

Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, who is not gay, today announced that he had reconsidered his decision to leave the Senate following his reconsideration of his guilty plea to disorderly conduct charges related to his arrest in a men’s room in the Minneapolis Airport. In a poignant memo to Senate colleagues, Sen. Craig said simply: […]

I’ve seen ads for Jody Foster’s latest movie, The Brave One, and thought it looked pretty good. Not go-see-it-in-the-theater good, but add it to my Netflix queue and watch it on video when it comes out good. My impression from watching the commercials was that it was basically a Death Wish copycat, but starring Jody […]

At first, I thought this story that I ran across via Polipundit, might be some sort of satire. Ya know, maybe it was a conservative doing the BlameBush thing or a liberal trying to be funny — and admittedly, it’s tough to tell sometimes with libs. The professional liberal comedians may be funny, but the […]

This story would seem to be indicative of how far away some people have gotten from their most basic survival instincts, “Residents upset over plans to kill bear The Department of Fish and Wildlife has set up traps for a bear that attacked a bicyclist on Sunday, and officials say the bear will likely be […]

“A measure of hypocrisy is necessary to a functioning society. It’s quite possible, on the one hand, to be opposed to the legalization of prostitution yet, on the other, to pull your hat down over your brow every other Tuesday and sneak off to the cat house on the other side of town. Your inability […]

The nanny state will get that much bigger under a President Edwards. He would require everyone to get preventative checkups. Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday that his universal health care proposal would require that Americans go to the doctor for preventive care. “It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody […]

Well, it’s fast approaching Miller Time and the Reich and Lefty halves of the blatherosphere are still bringing to the Larry Craig debate a degree of philosophical and rhetorical flexibility that would do justice to the most ardent devotee of the Kama Sutra. But there’s a fair amount of soul searching going on too. Josh […]

Does anyone imagine the founders or the Constitution ratifiers intended the babies of people who’d entered and remained in the country illegally to become Americans simply because they were born on American soil? Of course not. The illegal “immigration” problem must be attacked on all fronts. States and locals are doing their part. Now it’s […]

Cross-posted from the Sister Toldjah blog. In light of the Larry Craig scandal and the schadenfreude the far left has been expressing over his downfall, Jonah Goldberg has a must-read piece up today in which he writes about the left and how they have no room to talk about hypocrisy as it relates to moralizing: […]

Something desperate, that is: Saying the coming weeks will be “one of the last opportunities” to alter the course of the war, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said he is now willing to compromise with Republicans to find ways to limit troop deployments in Iraq. Reid acknowledged that his previous firm demand for […]

Lately, apathy has set in to the Democratic legions. Edwards is pulling ahead in some polls, presumably because his week-long silence has allowed Hillary and Obama’s incessant insult-flinging to take center stage, reminding the left side of the spectrum that their palette of potential candidates is nearly as disappointing as the Right’s. Currently, their only […]

If so, you might want to buy a copy Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case, by journalist Stuart Taylor and blogger/professor KC Johnson.

Two years after Katrina, everywhere you turn, there are people carping, whining, and kvetching. Just why hasn’t the pity party for the citizens of New Orleans run out of booze and chips yet? It’s not as if hurricanes are a once a millennium event in the United States. In fact, residents of Florida have so […]
