Year: 2009

After much thought, I decided to make a design change to Right Wing News. From this point on, you will be able to see all of the latest articles on RWN in a single glance in the “Latest Headlines” section at the top of the page. If you click on the article, it will take […]

I’m certainly not the biggest Madonna fan, nor do I necessarily think being around her is the best environment for a child growing up. She’s a spoiled, eccentric celebrity who once made a book of soft core porn. Like a lot of celebrities, now that she’s gotten older, she wants to give back and share […]

Yet another case where Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on people making less then $250k, or whatever the level that Joe Biden gaffe’d on is, could soon be broken? Sort of (more on that later) The use of company-issued mobile phones could trigger new federal income taxes on millions of Americans as a “fringe […]

They said, ‘Set aside the rule of law, let’s strip secured creditors, bondholders, of their rights. Take them away outside of the bankruptcy process and give them to the political cronies and the auto workers’ unions. It’s almost like looking at Putin’s Russia. You want to reward your political friends at the expense of the […]

Back on Wednesday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced the launch of a campaign to support free enterprise, being heavily concerned with what the Obama administration and the Democrats, but, mostly the Obama administration, is doing to the free enterprise system. It, unsurprisingly, what with the Compliant Obama Media and all, got very little press […]

Even the AMA thinks the Obama health plan stinks. Not that they have much leverage. With government run health care, they’ll be forced to participate or else. And if you haven’t seen this video yet, you need to watch it. Why should we trust the government to run health care? In the video you’ll a […]

Seriously. At least that’s what the macro model I built says. It has some very sophisticated algorithms. According to the model, the associated bandwidth cost for this post was enough to keep the blog hosting gang going and because of that, they kept making payments on all the computer equipment, power and rent/lease obligations they […]

Who would have thought that when totalitarianism conquered America, it would be ushered in not by advancing tanks or mushroom clouds, but by do-gooder bureaucratic absurdity like this: Throwing orange peels, coffee grounds and grease-stained pizza boxes in the trash will be against the law in San Francisco, and could even lead to a fine. […]

It would be hilarious, if only it were a joke. The leftist clowns to whom misguided voters have safeguarded our national security now want terrorists captured on foreign battlefields to be mirandized like the petty criminals liberals would have us believe they are. When 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was captured on March 1, 2003, […]

Perhaps because the Left spent the last few years obsessively talking about George Bush as if he were Hitler, the Left is desperate to anoint a new “leader” of the Republican Party so they’ll have someone to fixate on, Nearly half (47 percent) of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents surveyed in a USA Today/Gallup Poll failed […]

“I am shocked and saddened by today’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.” — Barack Obama, June 10, 2009 on the Holocaust Museum Shooting “Them Jews ain’t going to let (Obama) talk to me. I told […]

I’m not the sort of person who generally has anything to say about how someone dresses especially since I’m certainly not going to make anyone’s “best dressed” list myself. That being said, Michelle Obama consistently wears more butt-ugly outfits than any other famous woman in America. Now, I wouldn’t even bring this up except for […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 2nd quarter of 2009. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

When I made fun of President Obama’s Czar craze, libs on Twitter gave me a hard time saying that all presidents have Czars. Uh, not so much. No. Tabitha Hale has a great blog post about the czar differences. Go look at her list. She concludes: Let’s talk a little more about this. Know how […]

“If you allow yourself to be slapped around like a punk, whose fault is it that you’re treated like a punk?” Just some friendly family advice to conservatives tired of being disrespected by Republican “leaders” who try to curry favor with the liberal Moe Greens. Matt Lewis is not Fredo, and he’s not going to […]

Other then grasshoppers, is there anyone who really wants the government providing health insurance? As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan, which President Obama and many other Democrats see as an essential element of legislation to remake […]

How many people have read the book F.I.S.H.? If you haven’t, and you work in an office, a retail store, with lots of people, you really should, whether you are a supervisor or at the bottom of the food chain. Make your boss read it. Live it. Love it. It creates the atmosphere which sales […]

Who is to blame for today’s shooting at the Holocaust Museum? As Michelle Malkin and Donald Douglas observe, many are rushing to blame “right-wingers.” But you guys are blameless, because it’s all my fault. Why? Because I suck, that’s why. Dan Collins was the first to connect the dots of this theory. Not everyone gets […]

It comes from James Delingpole of the UK Telegraph: Modern China cares about as much about “anthropogenic global warming” as Chairman Mao did about providing his population with five-course steak dinners. AGW’s only use, as far as the Chinese are concerned, is as an ingenious device to suck up money and power from the gullible […]

Kevin Hassett at Bloomberg.com has figured out Obamanomics: President Barack Obama and his team have been having so much fun wielding dictatorial power while rescuing “failed” firms, that they have developed a scheme to gain the same power over every business. The plan is to enact policies that are so anticompetitive that every firm needs […]

When I first heard this tragic story of a mother and her daughter mowed down in broad daylight in Brewster, New York by a drunken maniac, I made the natural assumption regarding the driver’s immigration status. Now we have confirmation: A drunken driver struck and killed a mother and her young daughter as they were […]

Here’s the information about the shooter, James Von Brunn: James is a Gentleman I have great admiration for. From his biography: “James W. von Brunn holds a BachSci Journalism degree from a mid-Western university where he was president of SAE and played varsity football. During WWII he served as PT-Boat captain, Lt. USNR, receiving a […]

I didn’t want to do it, but in the spirit of lists and since everyone loves them, here’s the hottest guys on the right. There is no particular order. Really it’s all about what’s your type. Women are not as driven by looks as men. We all know this. They look at the whole person. […]

Of course, everyone remembers how the media ran with a silly comment from actress Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live, vis a vis “I can see Russia from my house!” It was goofy and light hearted, but, somehow, that almost became reality, as if Palin herself actually said it. Turn the page. Now we have […]

In a private e-mail exchange, one very shrewd financial analyst used the phrase “the current weirdness” to describe the economic moment we’re in. “[T]he overall story in the media is wrong, which isn’t unusual,” said my correspondent. The problem is that our situation is so unprecedented, even the most astute observers are somewhat mystified. What […]

Long have I maintained that the majority of the anthropogenic global warming craze is like some sort of political pet rock love. Let’s compare and contrast statements, shall we? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is widely regarded in the media as the ultimate authority on climate change. Created by two divisions of the […]

“Could Specter Face A Democratic Primary He Can’t Win? Oh Yeah… …The reality is that the liberal activist groups have a lot of reason to primary him — and if they find a credible challenger to do so, he’s highly likely to lose. Then, even if he doesn’t, Republicans will be howling to pay him […]

I’m from the school of thought that says those who went through an Al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan should either have their brains blown out or should spend the rest of their lives in a cell. For us to get our hands on these terrorists and then release them? It’s madness. ….Which brings us to […]

I’m not buying another car from Chryser or General Motors for the foreseeable future, despite the fact that I currently own a Dodge. There are good reasons for taking that position. At Chrysler, the UAW now owns more the 50% of the company and the sad fact is that union is run by people hostile […]
