Year: 2008

Retired game show host Bob Barker has decreed that all cats and dogs in Chicago must be spayed at the age of 6 months to prevent them from reproducing. Barked Barker: Overpopulation is one of the most tragic animal problems that we have in our country […] the only answer is legislation. But even in […]

“The 5:20 TBA turned out to be (Obama’s) adoration session with lawmakers in the Cannon Caucus Room, where even committee chairmen arrived early, as if for the State of the Union. Capitol Police cleared the halls — just as they do for the actual president. The Secret Service hustled him in through a side door […]

In England, they now have a store stocking make-up for men, “In an increasingly metrosexual world, perhaps it was just a matter of time. But yesterday a high street store announced that it would start stocking makeup designed just for men. ‘Guy-liner’ and ‘Manscara’ to enhance the eyes of the male in your life, will […]

The economy looks bad and will likely get much worse, primarily for a single reason: power-drunk liberal bureaucrats are both exploiting and being exploited by the environmental movement, thereby strangling the freedom that makes our way of life possible. Walter Williams explains: For several decades, environmentalists have managed to get Congress to keep most of […]

We’ve been through this before: Barack Obama said Friday that persuading NATO allies to contribute more troops to Afghanistan could lead to U.S. troop cuts and help improve the U.S. economy, with reduced military expenditure being diverted into tax cuts to help middle class families. As you see more and more specifics from this guy […]

The first question that popped into my head while reading about Obama’s the notion of reparations: Will Obama receive 50% reparations since hes 50% black? But wait just one little minute….. His dad isn’t an American citizen and Obama’s family were never slaves–well, not American slaves. Slavery was and is alive and well in many […]

Ouch. When TMZ.com is posting anything about a politician, you know there’s going to be trouble. Click here to see a slideshow of photos that feature Sen. John Kerry and a group of drunk girls, at least some of which are likely underage. (The girls were said to be sophomores and juniors in college.) The […]

Since the National Enquirer caught the Silky Pony at a hotel room with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, the media landscape has been surreal. Even though Fox News has spoken with a security guard who has confirmed that Edwards was there, this huge story has been largely ignored by most of the mainstream press. In some […]

I pointed out, yesterday, the latest in redistributionist schemes being cooked up ala “global warming”. Dale Franks notes that the belief in a Democratic win seems to be bringing these sorts of ideas and potential claims to the fore as they line up for their hopeful piece of the pie. If you don’t think that […]

Even before yesterday, Ted Stevens was generally considered by most conservatives to be too corrupt, too out of it, and too much of an appropriator to be an effective senator. But now, it has gotten even worse, Veteran Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens was charged on Tuesday with concealing more than $250,000 worth of gifts, […]

At 4:00 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

“A number of influential people in Russia, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam say the planet is now entering a 30-year cooling period, the second half of a normal cycle driven by cyclical changes in the sun’s output and currents in the Pacific Ocean. Their theory leaves true believers in carbon catastrophe livid. To judge by […]

“When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically after being told not to do so. During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama. …Obama, who acknowledged […]

One of the things I point out regularly is government intrusion when and where it is unwarranted, unwanted and certainly unneeded. Obviously it is a target rich environment, but one that constantly teaches a valuable lesson about where governments at all levels seemingly end up. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast, and it is […]

You know those light poles in England that line the streets? The old iron ones that survived the Luftwaffe and would probably survive a loaded cement truck driving into them, yeah those? Word to the wise: Don’t walk at full speed into them head first. Yeah, I did that on the bonny streets of London […]

No one stands in the way of politically correct totalitarianism — not even the formidable Mr. T, who has been silenced in his attempt to help sell Snickers bars by intolerant homosexuals: An advert featuring the A-team actor Mr T has been pulled after complaints in the US that it is offensive to homosexual men.[… […]

The netroots is, as we speak, happily exploiting the murders committed by Jim Adkisson, the nutjob who walked into a Unitarian church and started blasting away at innocent people enjoying a play. Apparently, the guy was a conservative and was motivated by hatred of liberals. That’s pretty ironic if you think about it. After all, […]

Today, I was reminded of one of the greatest fight scenes of all-time: the corridor brawl from the eccentric revenge flick, “OldBoy.” After finding the battle on YouTube, I thought I’d share since most of you probably haven’t seen it before. Enjoy!

I remember reading about how Saddam and his two insane sons would torture professional soccer players when they lost. Aside from the sheer horror described by the people who endured the abuse, it struck me as supremely stupid to expect players to perform their best when they cowered in fear. Communist leadership in Eastern block […]

Democrats have found the perfect symbol for their convention: a windmill that doesn’t work: The eastern Colorado wind turbine tapped for the Democratic National Convention’s carbon-offset program has one problem: It doesn’t generate any electricity. Convention organizers are now being questioned for their eagerness to market those credits to delegates. The DNC has contracted with […]

Much was made of the fact that Nancy Pelosi was the first female Speaker of the House. However, little has been said about the fact that under the “first female Speaker of the House,” the approval rating of Congress has dropped to the lowest level in recorded history. In other words, the first female Speaker […]

I’m considering picking up a cell phone and I want to get a little advice. Here’s my situation: I do need a standard phone line because my local company forces me to get one to have DSL. Moreover, I need a clear line to do interviews and teleconferences over. So, it probably wouldn’t make sense […]

Back in 2004, when the Democrats were running a candidate who had served in Vietnam against George Bush, who had only served in the National Guard, we were endlessly told how important it was to have a President who had actually served in the military — and, no, serving in the National Guard didn’t count […]

My co-blogger Melissa Clouthier and I disagreed about who’s more romantic, men or women. So, we decided to debate the topic on IM and let RWN’s readers vote on it. What follows is an edited transcript of our discussion and at the end, a poll. Dr. Melissa Clouthier: I believe men are more romantic about […]
