Year: 2008

Last night on my radio show (which you should definitely listen to right now), I said that McCain should turn the bailout into an opportunity to play to his strength: fiscal conservatism. I suggested that he… #1) Call for a freeze on federal spending, which is something Obama says he won’t do. So, hit him […]

First off, I have no complaints about Brokaw as a moderator — besides his incessant carping about the candidates going overtime. He has continued a surprising trend: pretty good moderators for all the debates. Unfortunately, this debate was very similar to the first debate. On foreign policy, McCain sounds much more confident, knowledgable, and compelling […]

Well, I’m tired of this whole election season because it started two years ago. Tired. Of. It. I need booze, but I’m afraid if I drink one drop I’ll keel over. Don’t worry, hearing the lies being spouted will get the adrenalin going. Here’s the guys also liveblogging: My favorite (besides me, of course) Ann […]

Listen to tonight’s Right Wing News Radio show. It’s 30 minutes of me, talking about the debate, how McCain should change his strategy, the political landscape, racism, the Pickens plan, and more. Don’t miss it!

Since Obama hasn’t yet undergone the technical requirement of getting elected, his demented acolytes can still get in trouble for crossing every imaginable line to brainwash on his behalf. Remember this video? An update: A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from […]

In a ringing endorsement of our leadership in Congress, RWN’s readers found them to be inferior to random people from the phone book by a 6-to-1 margin. Would you like to replace every member of Congress with a randomly selected person from the phone book of the same political party? Yes: 86% (616) No: 14% […]

During the Palin-Biden debate, I remember thinking about how Palin talked about the economy–telling people that everyone will have to take responsibility and change behavior and that it will be tough for a while but that things will get better because Americans are resilient. Is there any more that someone can promise? Eliminating capital gains […]

Bit by bit, the slime from Obama’s Chicago days seeps to the surface, despite the media’s lack of interest: As a state senator, Democrat Barack Obama awarded $75,000 in government grants to a Chicago social service organization led by a rabbi who is also his wife’s cousin, records show. In 1999, Obama arranged for $50,000 […]

When you’re watching the debate tonight, make sure to head on over to RWN to catch Dr. Melissa Clouthier’s liveblogging.

One of the most amusing things about the Clinton-Obama primary season was watching Bill-n-Hill’s outrage at the upstart Obama besting them at their own say-anything game. And, like the Clinton’s of yore, it worked for Obama. Obama played dirty and any hit back was protested with pained charges of racism. Obama is doing the same […]

Here are the latest battleground state poll numbers for McCain. I don’t want to depress you, but the stats are extremely grim given the amount of time we have left before the election, That’s right. Obama is up in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, and Virginia — among others. You may be wondering how many […]

One happy side effect of the Obama campaign is that it’s going to destroy the effectiveness of the Left’s “That’s racist” attack forever. As the phrase is used more and more, in increasingly ridiculous ways, people are becoming numb to it — and if people are indifferent to being called racist, because it’s so overused, […]

For years, conservatives have been talking about the potential consequences of out-of-control spending — and guess what? The consequences are here. The markets are plunging, we’re probably already in a recession, and we may be genuinely headed towards a financial crisis of global proportions. And this crisis? It isn’t merely another turn of the wheel […]

The Heritage Foundation’s “Morning Bell” points me to something Sebastian Mallaby said today in the WaPo: [B]laming deregulation for the financial mess is misguided. But it is dangerous, too, because one of the big challenges for the next president will be to defend markets against the inevitable backlash that follows this crisis. Even before finance […]

The media’s attempt to install an unqualified ultra-left radical in the White House has entered the Twilight Zone with the alarmingly powerful AP’s attempt to smear as racist anyone who objects to Obama’s close association with anti-American terrorists. Obama is a protégé of unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, who introduced him to the Chicago […]

The New York Times reports the cutback in consumer spending: When the final tally is in, consumer spending for the quarter just ended will almost certainly shrink, the first quarterly decline in nearly two decades. Many economists, who began the third quarter expecting modest growth, now believe the cutbacks are so severe that the overall […]

Al Gore tells lies about the climate as fast as they can be debunked. Now he wants us to believe that nonexistent global warming is causing more powerful tornadoes and floods. Proclaims the Goracle: Yes, we’ve always had tornadoes in Iowa and in Tennessee. But they’re coming more frequently and they’re stronger. Via Watts Up […]

Found via Slashdot, Matt Lasar reports: The United States Senate has unanimously passed a bill that requires the Federal Communications Commission to explore what “advanced blocking technologies” are available to parents to help filter out “indecent or objectionable programming.” The “Child Safe Viewing Act” (S. 602) was sponsored by Senator Mark Pryor, Democrat of Arkansas. […]

Currently, there are 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 2 Independents who caucus with the Dems in the Senate. That means the Dems need 9 more seats to get to 60, which would allow them to shut down any Republican filibuster attempts at will. At the moment, the situation is particularly precarious for the GOP. McCain […]

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Tom McClintock. He’s the only candidate endorsed both by Tom Tancredo’s Team America PAC and the Club for Growth, so, as you’d imagine — this is a guy you can trust on illegal immigration and on issues of […]

Last night on instant messenger, a female friend of mine sent me a link to a new book that Jessica Valenti over at Feministing is coming out with. Yes, believe it or not, this apparently isn’t some sort of off-the-wall parody — it’s a real book, After sending me the link, my friend’s comment was, […]

This week-end I caught David Zucker’s An American Carol. The general idea behind it is a Michael Moore stand-in wants to ban the 4th of July — and 3 ghosts, General Patton (yes, that General Patton), George Washington, and the Angel of Death try to straighten him out. The general idea behind the movie is […]

Per Rasmussen polling, Only half (49%) believe that the current Congress is better than individuals selected at random from the phone book. Thirty-three percent (33%) believe a randomly selected group of Americans could do a better job and 19% are not sure So, with that in mind, let’s see what RWN’s readers think. Would you […]

I just watched this opening from the movie Idiocracy and it seemed frighteningly plausible. Be forewarned, there’s some bad language in this, but take a look at it, and think about the demographic trends in the world today. It’s like the Peter Principle applied to the human race…

Here are the top 20 songs on my MP3 list right now. To be honest, I haven’t found a lot of great, new stuff to listen to over the last few months. Take a look at my list and suggest some new songs for me… 50 Cent: Hate It or Love It AC/DC: Thunderstruck Evanescence: […]

Slate Magazine is diagramming Sarah Palin’s sentences, and concludes — surprise! — she’s a doofus. Scanning this article (it is not worth more than a scan), what is remarkable is that despite being one of the best all-around destinations on the Internet for good, insightful writing, when it comes to politics Slate remains utterly unselfconscious […]

Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit. And God bless Sarah Palin, that girl knows how to throw a rock. Misquoting Albright: Yelp! Fact Check: Yelp! Analysis: Yelp! Yelp! Yelp! With some “racism” sprinkled on top. And class, you do remember […]
