New RWN Video: I Am Sarah Palin

I wrote the script for this 55 second video that features Michelle Malkin, Pamela Gellar from Atlas Shrugs, Wendy Sullivan from Girl On The Right, Freeman Hunt, and Skye from Midnight Blue. An extra hat tip goes to SarahK from mountaineer musings, who first suggested this idea to me — and Michelle Malkin, who has […]

 

Palin’s “First Gaffe” Not A Gaffe At All

Over at the Huffington Post, they’re breathlessly reporting that Sarah Palin made her first gaffe. Here’s the spin, Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer […]

 





Obama Vs. Palin — On The Basketball Court?

How bad is Sarah Palin getting into Obama’s head when he has been reduced to this? ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Reports: The rivalry between the Democratic and Republican tickets for president could shift from the ballot box to the hardwood if Barack Obama has his way. In an exclusive interview airing this morning on “This […]

“Hurricane” Hanna Was A Dud In My Area

Tropical storm Hanna blew through my neck of the woods last night and happily, it turned out that it hit like John Edwards. There were some small and medium sized branches down and a neighbor’s picket fence blew over, but there didn’t seem to be any major damage. At the moment, it has stopped raining, […]

 

Hello, Hanna!

Unhappily, I’m right in the path of Hanna and it’s moving ever closer to my location as we speak. On the one hand, it is just a tropical storm and since I am not a liberal from New Orleans, I always have some basic hurricane supplies ready to go. I’ve got soup, plenty of bottled […]

 

Oprah Vs Sarah

If I were a celebrity, I would never get publicly involved in a political race. Know why? Because the wider your appeal is to the public, the more popular you are and, therefore, the more money you make — and when you start getting involved in partisan politics, you alienate half the population. That brings […]

Palin 1. The Mainstream Media 0.

The mainstream media has spent a full week throwing everything they have at Sarah Palin. They’ve hurled sexist insults at her, attacked her family, smeared her with lies and half-truths, and were even speculating that she hadn’t been vetted and would be dropped from the ticket. If you listened to the New York Times, MSNBC, […]

 


A Review Of The GOP Convention: Day 4

After a rousing Night 3 of the convention, Night 4 didn’t look to have the most promising array of speakers. Let’s see: Mike Huckabee, Linda Lingle, Rudy Guiliani, and Sarah Palin vs. Lindsey Graham, Tom Ridge, Cindy McCain, and John McCain. That’s not exactly the crew of speakers, besides McCain, that you want to end […]

 

Liberal Obliviousness Watch: If Palin Is An “Off-The-Wall” Pick, Then What Is Obama?

From Fred Kaplan at Slate, “At times like these, I’m relieved that I don’t cover elections. There’s bum DNA in my heart, and the agita might send me keeling over. How else to react to the sight of sophisticated people saying, with impressively straight faces, that Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president–even president–because […]

 











If McCain Wins, There Will Be A Race War?

It’s hard not to notice that even though Barack Obama initially claimed to be a post-racial candidate, his supporters obviously see his race as the primary selling point of his candidacy. Setting aside the fact that had it not been for black voters voting for him just because he’s black, he could have never received […]
