Jaz McKay sent me such a great email about the type of guns that newbie shooters should use that I asked him to allow me to post it on RWN. After retooling the email just a bit, Jaz gave me the go-ahead. Enjoy! Recently John was writing about handguns for first timers. As an official, […]

Steve Boriss on the Associated Press: Marshall Field III, grandson of the founder of the department store of the same name, also challenged the AP monopoly with mixed results.

If you don’t believe there is a media bias, then you must live without electricity and printed paper. Even Men’s Fitness joins the media Obasm. I’m laughing as I write this. The press swoons like Elvis fans from the 50s. What a bunch of little girls. Is it Hannah Montana? No, it’s Barack Obama! Touch […]

A little reminder: “A Veteran – whether active duty, retired, National Guard, or Reservist….is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a check payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life”. – Author Unknown ________ Cross-posted at QandO.

In the midst of this embarrassing, wrongheaded preemptive media eulogizing of Edward Kennedy, at least spare a thought for the woman he killed.

If you’re packing extra pounds, I hope you’re pleased with yourself for what you’ve done to the flourishing but officially threatened polar bears.

Everyone knows about John McCain’s brave and honorable military service in Vietnam. A lot of people know that he comes from a long line of military officers. According to Senator Harkin, (D-IA), this is a bad thing. Not just bad, but potentially dangerous: Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s family background as the son and grandson […]

They just endorsed Barack Obama, leaving a lot of Hillary supporters and NARAL supporters furious. They’re already feeling the backlash: With the clock running down on a long-fought primary, NARAL Pro-Choice America leaders sent state affiliates reeling this week by endorsing Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. It was seen as a gratuitous slap in the […]

But, you know, remembering different cities in fifty-seven states is a tough job. So we shouldn’t judge him too harshly for forgetting what city he’s in. The Democratic frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama of another state, Illinois, had an enthusiastic double-barreled stump introduction from two local luminaries, former Sens. Tom Daschle and George McGovern, who was […]

Question: “Is there any legitimacy to McCain’s belief that “cap and trade” is a market based solution to global warming?” — RWNReader2 Answer: First of all, setting aside the fact that there has been very little global warming in the last century, that there is no global warming occurring right now, that there probably will […]

Question: “Given the recent increase in food prices, is this a good time to end farm subsidies in the US?” — President_Friedman Answer: Any time would be a good time to end farm subsidies and tariffs on imported food.

Question: “John McCain came out with a plan to have most of the troops out of Iraq by Jan 2013, according to the LA Times. He plans on having Democrats work in his administration; his plans include amnesty, according to an AP story out today. So, my question is, why should we vote for a […]

Question: “Your post about Novak and Jimmy Carter made me think of this. It seems to be that “Bush Lied” has become so commonly used that it is assumed to be true by most people. Could you provide a list of all the people who would have also been lying if Bush did, in fact, […]

Yesterday, I had a poll up that read, Do you think John McCain’s political views could best be described as those of a relatively typical… Here are the results: Conservative Republican? 94: 11% Moderate Democrat? 741 responses: 89% If you’re wondering why conservative Republicans are a bit depressed going into 2008, I think that has […]

I just got off of another teleconference with John McCain. Here are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. McCain’s Opening Statement I gave a speech this morning about how I would want America to look after my first term in office in 2013. I want people to see what I want to do. By […]

Take a look at this excerpt from a story about Norfolk State University and tell me who has the best interests of these college students at heart: the professor who was fired for flunking too many of them or the administrators who want them to be given passing grades despite the fact that they’re not […]
