I thought this was a funny skit…

Tomorrow on RWN, I’ll have projections for the House, Senate, how the states will break down in the presidential election, other people’s projections, and what to look for as the night progresses. I will also be doing a long, rolling live blog of the whole night. I wanted to wait until the last moment to […]

…..and I do know when I’ll be back again. I’m traveling to New York to do Election Coverage for the BBC. As usual, I’ll be liveblogging the Election, so that won’t change. If you have info you want to share, email me or put it in the comments. I’ll be doing my regular blogging, too, […]

While I prefer Bob Barr’s tax plan (cut ’em and the size of government too), I don’t think the difference between the Obama tax plan and the McCain tax plan can be better summarized than the following two paragraphs and the accompanying chart. [Full disclosure – the IRET is a pro-McCain group of economists, but […]

He’s used messianic-esque language throughout the campaign to spur his supporters on to “believe” yet here in the final hours of the campaign he and his higher-ups are breaking it to his followers gently that the “change” he wants to implement will take time: Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations […]

Palin Derangement Syndrome strikes England Townsfolk in England have delivered their explosive verdict on Sarah Palin, stuffing a giant effigy of the U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee with fireworks and blowing her up to raucous cheers. The unusual display was the climax of an annual bonfire celebration Saturday in the southern town of Battle, where […]

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU: In the name of the almighty environmental movement… Gateway Pundit provides a partial transcript: Let me sort of describe my overall policy. What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there. […]

This is the last of the Info-Me-Cials that were already published (the last two were on Facebook only until now). The theme: Big government, wealth redistribution, high taxes and union giveaways work great — just remember what they did for New York City! Ron Col — oh, never mind….

Lots of people have noticed that Barack Obama’s speeches don’t really say that much. He seems to be able to “inspire” a certain kind of person just by being Obama. It’s a visceral, emotional reaction, like the very best found in supporters of leaders of… let’s just say governmental systems not called “democracies”… some of […]

My brother passed along a great letter to the editor in the Chicago Tribune, and I thought it was worth sharing here: On my way to lunch recently, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama; I need the money.” I laughed. In a restaurant my server had on an “Obama […]

He’s going to try fleshing it out in real life. For the uninitiated, Directive 10-289 is ratified roughly halfway through Atlas Shrugged as an emergency measure. It locks the economy in place. As they learned the hard way in the subsequent pages, economy, like an education, is motion, not a status, position or level. To […]

You enter a comment on a blog, even on The Blog That Nobody Reads — it’s in the public domain, folks. And that can be a terrible risk if you say something embarrassing…or ingenious. No stone will be left unturned in the effort to destroy marriage or anything that leads up to it. —Shannon in […]

It’s not just law professors or even lawyers thinking about this. And it’s not entirely about Obama — after all, of all places he did teach at the University of Chicago, hardly a hotbed of lefty bomb-throwing on the the law faculty. But when you look at that posse around him and all those JD’s… […]

We’ve been here before, and then some. Now we’re back in multimedia! Well, one medium. Medium rare.

Until we started winning the Iraq war, Democrats couldn’t wait to lose it, and hard. Barack Obama was absolutely part of that. Whether you believe he was merely posturing for the nomination, or that he is that contemptuous of both America’s ability to protect its interests and its troops as well as our intelligence, his […]

I blogged on why Obama is not ready to be President a while ago. But here’s the sound and the splendor of it: There’s more from Ron Coleman at Likelihood of Success…

If John can’t do it, we can do it ourselves: Prepare and broadcast slick, powerful and deal-closing infomercials to close the deal for McCain. Time to step up…. Ron Coleman stepped up in his peculiar way this week on

This is must see video. At a Barack Obama rally, a ferklemped, and very enthusiastic Obama supporter shared her reasons she was supporting “THE ONE”: “I wont have to worry about putting gas in my car, I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage.. You know, If I help him, he’s gonna help me.” […]

From mainstream media commentators to General Colin Powell to rival John McCain – all give Barack Obama credit for “inspiring” people. My own fascination brought me to take my youngest brother to Obama’s rally during the heat of the Democratic Primary when Obama stopped in Dallas. We waited for several hours to watch Obama speak […]

(Crossed at Pirate’s Cove) By now, you probably heard Senator Barack H. Obama (using his middle initial is racist, BTW) say it was selfish to not pay higher taxes. We already knew it was unpatriotic to want to pay lower taxes, thanks to Senator Foot In Mouth. For those who missed it, here ya go […]

Pete Parisi of The Washington Times notes that Barack Obama is protected by “a defensive cordon provided by a news media so unabashedly in the tank for Mr. Obama that they need scuba gear.” And since they’re not asking questions, Pete does. For example: You and your vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, have vowed […]

After doing three rallies in Florida and one in North Carolina on Saturday, here is Sarah Palin’s Sunday schedule: 9 a.m. — Canton, Ohio 11:30 a.m. — Marietta, Ohio 2 p.m. — Columbus, Ohio 5 p.m. — Owensville, Ohio Google Map directions for any hard-core Sarah fans who want to try to cover the whole […]

My reasons for voting, not just for McCain, but also against Obama, are almost all premised upon two basic belief systems I hold: (1) As a general matter, that federal government is best which governs least; and (2) that country is safest which has a strong military and is willing to use it in its […]

I’m sure a lot of you saw this video. It’s no surprise that this video, according to Fox News, is the most popular election video on YouTube, garnering over 11 million views. Transcript: Dear Mr. Obama, Having spent twelve months in the Iraq theater, I can promise you this was not a mistake. I’ve witnessed […]

The new (November 3) issue of the National Review features an article called “Obama’s Core” by Michael Knox Beran. I’ve posted a key excerpt here, but try to grab it on the newsstand (it isn’t available at the NRO site unless you’re already a subscriber.) It has nothing to do with forged birth certificates and […]

Millions of dollars have been spent to make us think so, and it’s apparently working. All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major […]
