Year: 2009

Not that anyone reading this would have been tempted to take Chairman Zero’s farcical Internet town hall meeting seriously anyway, but… …while the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president […]

This weekend, Sudhir Venkatesh editorializing in the New York Times wondered where the uprising is: Before blogs and radio call-in shows, people joined forces and turned to the streets as their most effective means of expression; a unified, angry crowd was often sufficient to win concessions from employers and governments. And so most rebellions of […]

Despite all the sanctimonious demands that we ban circuses, lab animals, and hamburgers, the militants at PETA are no friends of animals: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group […]

I wonder if this is what Obama meant by “sound science over politics?” A STEM cell therapy offering “natural” breast enlargement is to be made available to British women for the first time. The treatment could boost cup size while reducing stomach fat. It involves extracting stem cells from spare fat on the stomach or […]

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is Bush Derangement Syndrome…Bush Derangement Syndrome and appeasement of Islamic terrorists…Our two weapons are Bush Derangement Syndrome and appeasement of Islamic terrorists, and socialist dogma…. Our three weapons are Bush Derangement Syndrome, appeasement of Islamic terrorists, and socialist dogma, and an almost fanatical devotion to moonbats… […]

Australia’s Tom Quirk, an Oxford-trained research physicist, noted that carbon 14 molecules from nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and ’60s took some years to travel through the atmosphere between the northern and southern Hemispheres. Quirk further noted that about 95 percent of the CO2 from fossil fuels has been emitted in the Northern Hemisphere. […]

You may not have been aware of this, but on Saturday you were supposed to sit around in the dark for sixty minutes, starting at 8:30 PM, in order to celebrate “Earth Hour.” Now, you may be wondering: what exactly would that accomplish? I’m not entirely sure what the answer to that question is supposed […]

Barack Obama’s economic policies are several orders of magnitude more dangerous to this country’s economy than the mortgage crisis that he’s trying to fix.

After applying the lessons of Katrina, there’s only one conclusion we can reach: Obama obviously doesn’t care about white people.

….Okay, not really. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t even care all that much that Biden’s daughter may be doing as much blow as our President, Changey McCokehead, did in his early years (Or may still be doing for all we know. It would explain a lot). However, if Sarah Palin’s family is fair […]

In my email this week-end, How can I help? John, Honestly, what can I do to be a better American and fight for what I believe is a culture coup by the Obama misfits. This so called stimulus package is a total cover up for what I believe is a move by the Democrats to […]

Unfortunately, I had to drop the star rating system from RWN. Because of a technical problem we were unable to correct, the entire page had to be reloaded every time someone rated an article. However, we did manage to come up with a replacement. On every RWN post, you can now give it a thumbs […]

“Labor union bosses are on the verge of passing legislation called the Employee Free Choice Act and denying employees the right to cast their ballot in private in union organizing elections. Rather than holding a monitored workplace election using secret ballots as has been the case for decades, under this proposal the union would automatically […]

Folks, my last video I made was the #1 most viewed in the News and Politics section on YouTube. Please help me again by rating this 5 stars on YouTube. Warning, (censored profanity)

Garbage like this sure doesn’t come from the Conservative side of the political aisle: Waupun school fears ‘fellows’ in fight song sexist The principal at Waupun High School has had the school’s fight song rewritten because he feared its use of the word “fellow” could be construed as sexist. Principal Jeff Finstad says most people […]

I continue to be amazed that seemingly smart people are just suddenly figuring this out. “Blinders” doesn’t begin to describe what it must have taken to ignore Obama’s lack of experience and to hope the fact that he’d never displayed a scintilla of leadership in anything he’d ever done would somehow rectify itself prior to […]

The race between Jim Tedisco (R) and Scott Murphy (D) for the NY-20 seat (formerly held by Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate), has become – over the last couple of weeks – a “dead heat“: NEW YORK, March 27 — The only competitive House race in the nation […]

Moderates — including moderate conservatives who, I think, are even more “moderate” than yours truly — have had it with President Obama. Liberals, at first disappointed with what had encouraged those moderates, are really unhappy now. And surrenderists of all stripes in Congress? They don’t know what to do! Even the MSM is getting off […]

Call this one: On the Folly of Victimology In reflecting on the different standards that are applied to women like Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, versus persons of color such as the Obamas, I notice a consistent logical flaw in the way the big, amoebic, mythical “everybody” thinks. Like all logical flaws that are possible […]

Michael McGill is a sick individual. He’s been convicted of repeated sexual assaults against children, and has written letters begging to stay in prison so that he won’t harm anyone again. Yet, he’s still going to be released? A convicted sex offender due to be released Saturday from prison after serving 11 months warned in […]

Now, before I get going on the stories, let me say that I approve of green energy and working on alternative sources. I would like to see greener, less pollutant, cost-effective, and cheap alternatives to what we have now. Sources that are reusable like the sun, wind, hydro. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could […]

The latest questionable post on Feministing is not what I would have initially expected upon reading the first line, especially considering my experience with the man-haters of feminism. But when I dove deeper into the post, it started making more and more sense… at least, from a liberal standpoint. I think we need to stop […]

Our brilliant new Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made a pilgrimage to Mexico, where she visited the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. While there, she asked a really stupid question: During her recent visit to Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected stop at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe […]

In November of 2008 a charismatic and gifted politician with little or no executive experience was elevated to what is arguably the world’s most difficult and powerful position. Both historically and statistically speaking, Obama’s victory was remarkable: Since the Civil War, 49 men have won a major-party presidential nomination. Only three of these nominees were […]

Back in 1989, shortly after I moved to Washington, D.C., news broke that Barney Frank’s housemate (lover, in some accounts) Stephen Gobie was running a prostitution ring out of the Massachusetts Congressman’s Washington, D.C. home. Not just that, Frank used his congressional privilege to fix Gobie’s parking tickets and intervened on his behalf with Virginia […]

In commenting on an editorial in the Economist wondering where President Obama went wrong, the ever insightful Jennifer Rubin summarizes how this supposedly post-partisan leader has governed. His mode of governance — denigrate the opposition, engage in ad hominem attacks, refuse to compromise on substantive policy, disguise radical policy intentions with a haze of meaningless […]

With a special shout-out to David Brooks and the Crapweasel Coalition: Here’s a clue for the youngsters: If the New York Times ever offers to publish you, you’re doing something wrong. It is cowardly punks like David Brooks, and all their sorry crapweasel imitators, who make the Ransom Note Method such an effective weapon for […]

While we were having lunch today, my dear friend Don Quixote asked “Do you think Barack Obama is evil?” I hedged. “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask?” “I’m getting the feeling,” he answered, “that conservatives are starting to define Obama as being evil. At least, that’s the impression I get from the emails […]

Weeks after his news-making CPAC speech, and revelations that he’d been the target of a White House smear campaign, Rush Limbaugh continued to enjoy a through the roof ratings boost. Radio Equalizer crunches the numbers, adding this tidbit: “…implementation of the new, far more accurate electronic Portable People Meter (PPM) ratings system has benefited talk […]
