A Messaging Idea For The Republicans In Congress

Last night, I was talking with a buddy of mine who’s a Senate aide and I gave him a suggestion that I think would do the GOP a lot of good. Over the course of the next year or so, they should have every senator cut a handful of short, casual videos about conservative principles. […]

Is The Sky Really Falling?

When you’re a doctor, you see lots of patients. You also talk to other doctors who see lots of patients. And a very interesting thing is happening among both sets of people that I thought I’d share with you. I’m curious about your opinion. Many people are setting aside six months cash, on hand, out […]

Detente Between Dogs And Cats

So, I take Patton and the Affenpinscher (Sam) I am dogsitting outside this morning and as they are tooling around the back yard, a cat wanders over. Patton, who loves nothing better than chasing cats or circling them and nipping at their tails as they try to tear his face off, wasn’t that close to […]

The RWN Reader Comment Of The Day: Moderate Muslims

“I think it is true that the majority of Muslims are ‘moderate’ in the sense of not supporting violence against their neighbors and taking no steps to support terrorism aboard and generally disapproving of it. But you are right that this raises a paradox, because just as you suggest, if in fact the majority is […]

Republic Windows and Doors (update)

This particular case is emblematic of how asinine our situation has become, but typical, I think, of our future. Republic Windows and Doors lays off 250 people last week and closes its doors. They get 3 days notice and they end up not getting already-earned vacation time and severance pay. Why? Because Republic Windows and […]

Traits The RNC Chair Should Possess

Unless Republicans truly have become Democrats where failure is rewarded, the current Republican National Committee Chairman must move along. The Republicans need new blood. Preferably, they need new, younger blood. Quickly now. Who is the current RNC chairman? Now, who is the DNC chairman? That’s right Howard “The Scream” Dean. Hey, at least you know […]

Hollyweird’s Latest Che Hagiography

You have to weep for the future, if people are learning about the past from Tinseltown. The latest crime against truth is called Che, a hagiography that warps history to make communist executioner Che Guevara into a hero. “I’d like to dedicate this to the man himself, Che Guevara!” announced Benicio del Toro this May, […]

Merkel: No Sacrificing Jobs to Global Warming Farce

Until recently, the USA’s foot-dragging was about the only thing stopping the Western World from jumping off a cliff over the increasingly preposterous global warming hoax. But with the last grownups scheduled to leave Washington next month, Europeans have been forced to drop the sanctimonious posturing and defend sanity. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been keen […]

So, If Islam Is A “Religion Of Peace”…

…then why is this going on at its holiest site?

The Fact That Blagojevich Is Crooked Isn’t What Surprises Me…

Has talk radio jumped the shark?

Genghis at AOSHQ rips into leading conservative talk-radio hosts, whom he accuses of being “entrenched in power and way too comfortable for their own good.” Apparently, he’s got no problem with Laura Ingraham or Mark Levin, since their names don’t make his list. Of the six hosts Genghis names, I don’t get to hear Glenn […]

Media Bias? What Planet Are You From?

Everyone knows the media isn’t biased. And if it was, it would be biased toward the right, right? President-elect Barack Obama received 68% positive evaluations on the network evening news shows during the general election. His treatment was twice as favorable as John McCain’s 33% positive and Sarah Palin’s 34% positive evaluations. Whoa, whoa, what […]

God Airbrushed From Capitol Visitor Center

The new $621 million capitol Visitor Center does more than spare Harry Reid from having to smell the unwashed masses. It also advances the campaign to replace meaningful religion with worship of the State: Among the critics [of the Visitor Center] were Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican who several weeks ago noticed that […]

Men In Pointy Toed Shoes

Being in the fashion center of the universe (well outside of Paris), I observed a couple things: New York women wore scant make-up and hauteur in equal measure. And they wonder why they are single? Ladies, if you’re over 30, you need a little help. Black continues to be THE color in New York. Anyone […]

The HuffPo Blog Post Of The Day: Replace Capitalism With Loving One Another, Man!

Over at the HuffPo, a hippie-dippy writer named Stephen Mo Hanan punched up a post called “Why Save Capitalism?” In case you’re wondering, yes, this is the typical short-sighted, tie-died, socialistic, Commie-symp wail-fest against capitalism, Now I’m not stupid enough to forget that capitalism is also a system that has allowed a substantial though relatively […]
