Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… @anamariecox Okay this is a lesson I was slow in learning: If you hate dealing with FB friend requests, do not mention FB account on primetime cable. @DrewCurtis just saw a guy trying to haggle at Kroger. Worked out about as well as you’d […]

Back in October, I noted that the New York Times might be headed towards bankruptcy in the near future based on a post my pal Cara Ellison made back in August. “Cara correctly predicted that the New York Times would be downgraded to junk, but is she correct that the paper is destined to collapse? […]

A lot of people scoff at that old saying, “Money can’t buy you happiness.” Granted, poverty won’t buy you any happiness either, but money isn’t a cure all for people’s problems. The difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich just end up with a different set of problems. Poor Adolf Merckle […]

Isn’t this kind of ironic coming from people who give their children military training, brainwash them from birth to support terrorism, and celebrate children who blow themselves up as martyrs? “Fighting intensified on the northern outskirts of Gaza City yesterday as a Hamas leader warned that the Islamists would kill Jewish children anywhere in the […]

I threw a kind word Mitch McConnell’s way for slowing down the stimulus package, but now our fearless Senate Minority Leader, Losey McLosington, is signaling that the GOP will back the stimulus package. Two Things. #1) Controlling government spending and the growth of the government is at the core of what it means to be […]

The Huffington Post is America’s largest liberal blog and it’s considered to be so mainstream on the left that even Barack Obama posts there. That’s despite the fact that the blog regularly peddles extremism and conspiracy theories. However most of all, the HuffPo is well known for celebrating the deaths of conservatives. Just to give […]

“the people want to be happy and have good jobs. The evil warlords are enriching themselves by employing the most desperate and disturbed pirates to rape loot and pillage. the people continue to come to shop at the poison bazaar. The people know they are ingesting poison, but are aware of its brief initial euphoria, […]

From Fox, Former President George H.W. Bush said his son Jeb should run for president and blasted the New York Times for its “grossly unfair” criticism of another son, President George W. Bush. During an interview on “FOX News Sunday,” the nation’s 41st president said Jeb, the former governor of Florida, is “as qualified and […]

“And Israel’s vaunted intelligence services can’t tell their superiors what Obama will do, since few (if any) of the president-elect’s supporters know what he intends to do. In fact, the president-elect may not know himself. He’s a babe in the woods, and the woods are full of wolves.” — Ralph Peters Over at the Guardian, […]

Wow. You’ll just have to see it to believe it, Prison officers have been told not to refer to their charges as “inmates” because it might offend them. Ministers claim the age-old term is not appropriate if criminals are to be treated with “respect and dignity”. …Earlier this year prison inspectors at Bullingdon jail in […]

There’s a certain level of unreality we have in this country about the debt the government runs up. It’s almost as if people believe that the government can go as far in the red as it likes without there being any significant consequences. Somehow, it’ll just all work out. However, any taxpayers in California who […]

On Monday, I’ll be putting out a once a year list: the most annoying liberals of 2008. I’m hoping you can help me out by suggesting some libs who belong on the list. Keep in mind that this is a list for 2008 — so, when you suggest a liberal, make sure to explain what […]

I’ve got a new feature at RWN: homemade polling that only registered members at RWN can vote in. This system should be built out and working and this is the first public test. So, if you’re registered at RWN, go ahead vote in the poll. If you’re not registered, go ahead and register — it’ll […]

I received this in my email yesterday and thought it was funny enough to post,

I have 3 separate media relations people pitching me anti-card check articles. Card check is a terrible idea and it’s all good that there are people getting paid to pitch articles to bloggers (I’ve done it myself before), but at a certain point, it’s just like, buy a d*mn ad already.

20) China hosts the Olympics: The ChiComs held the Olympics and although most of the event has already gone down the memory hole, the massive opening ceremony, Michael Phelps winning eight gold medals, the filthy air, and the rampant Chinese cheating in gymnastics won’t soon be forgotten. 19) Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar: Had 130,000 people […]

I’m on the radio with Rob Port from Say Anything’s tonight at 8:20 PM EST. It’s on WZFG AM1100 in South Dakota and you can listen live here.

“Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance at all — thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno.” — Mickey Rourke on Sean Penn’s performance in ‘Milk’

I’m not sure whether to be more appalled that this anti-semitic sign was on display at a Pro-Palestinian protest in Manhattan or that someone who’s so stupid that he thinks you spell Jews — “juice” — is in our country. Please, please, please, let this idiot be some rich guy’s kid, here on vacation, who […]

5) Thought Of The Day: Too Big To Fail? The words “too big to fail” are often bandied about these days as an excuse to use billions more of our tax dollars to bail out yet another company. It seems to me that if a company is “too big to fail,” then perhaps it should […]

From Dale Franks at The QandO Blog, Since getting their behinds handed to them in the last two election cycles, people on the Right have been taking a long hard look at why they’ve turned into such losers. One of the areas of concern that have popped up as a result of this introspection has […]

Here are RWN’s top referrers for 2008. Feel free to go check a few of these blogs out. After all, it’s only fair to send them a little traffic back for helping out RWN so much. Also, as a point of comparison — and because I’m a statistics junky — you can see the comparable […]

So, is Harry Reid going to condone Democratic corruption by appointing Blago’s man, Roland Burris, or is he going to deny a black man a Senate seat because he’s a racist? It’s, “Why do you want to keep the Senate all white, Harry,” or, “You said you wouldn’t seat a tainted Blago Senate appointee. Why […]

Russian Igor Panarin’s theory about the break-up of the United States is being snickered at in the Wall Street Journal. For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument — that an economic and moral collapse […]
