As a general rule, calling the left “oversensitive” about race is like calling the sun “hot,” but as Barack’s numbers have started to soften over the last few weeks, the Left has started to go around the bend. As a matter of fact, they can’t even see the bend at this point. You’ve seen all […]

Last night, a relatively non-political friend of mine asked me what was happening with the election. Here’s what I told her, edited slightly to clean it up. Anon: What’s up? I saw some of your recent posts, John :) …I was curious as to how you think the election is going. John Hawkins: It’s a […]

I wanted to give a special thanks to my co-bloggers at RWN who helped out last week, Dr. Melissa Clouthier Katie Favazza Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Gina Cobb Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success Sister Toldjah William Teach from Pirate’s Cove Michael Illions from Polipundit MCQ from QandO Moonbattery

The New York Times is running a poor, poor, pitiful me story about an illegal immigrant who, happily, was deported by a hospital that was sued in return for doing a good deed, Eight years ago, (Luis Alberto) Jimenez, now 35, an illegal immigrant working as a gardener in Stuart, Fla., suffered devastating injuries in […]

Liberals tend to live in cloud-cuckoo land, where the average conservative is an evil, Nazi-loving David Duke who’s hellbent on sticking them in a camp so that we can turn the US into a theocracy. Meanwhile, back in the real world, there’s very, very little evidence to support these assertions. So, the way liberals get […]

Via Hot Air, here’s what David Gergen had to say about John McCain’s latest outstanding ad, David Gergen: McCain’s “Moses” ad is code for calling Obama “uppity” In which the single dumbest, most paranoid racial charge of the campaign is recycled on national television by a former presidential advisor and current Harvard professor. I said […]

Previously on RWN, I put together a couple of articles that featured interviews with conservative women on dating (Part 1, Part 2). The articles were a big hit and I had several people ask me when I was going to do a follow-up with conservative men. Although I did want to do a follow-up, given […]

“I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” — Harry Truman The most incompetent Speaker of the House in American history, Nancy Pelosi, packed up her 22% approval rating and went on vacation with the rest of the Democratic Party in tow. Meanwhile, the plucky Republicans stayed on […]

This may be the single, most snarky video in the history of presidential politics and I love it, McCain will undoubtedly receive a lot of criticism for this video, much of which will come from the Right. It’s not presidential, it has too much attitude, yada, yada, yada. Let me tell you why this video […]

One of the canards that the open borders and amnesty crowd has pushed the hardest is that the only way to get rid of the illegal immigrants in the US is to hunt all 12 million of them down individually and deport them. Since this is impossible, they argue that we might as well not […]

Yesterday, the fine folks over at Americans for Prosperity alerted me to the fact that the election issue of all election issues has been dumped into the GOP’s lap. You see, on October 1st, 2008, “the existing bans on Outer Continental Shelf drilling and oil shale leasing expire — unless Congress specifically votes to extend […]

Yesterday, I put up what I considered to be the 10 best looking women from the yearly Hill’s 50 Most Beautiful 2008 list and let RWN’s readers vote on their faves. Here are the big winners. Honorable Mention: Rana Abtar — 11% of the vote 3rd Place: Erica Price — 12% of the vote 2nd […]

This is the now infamous “Celebrity” ad… …and this is Lindsey Graham’s explanation of the ad. Incidentally, this may be the only semi-brilliant thing I’ve ever heard Lindsey Graham say, “The whole (Celebrity) ad is about the idea of fame without portfolio. Paris Hilton is famous for being famous. She draws a crowd for no […]

In an election cycle where Republicans are reviled and the GOP candidate, John McCain, seems to inspire less excitement than a Droopy marathon on the Cartoon Network, it’s hard for some people to understand how the race is still close. After all, Barack Obama is drawing record crowds and generating the sort of wild-eyed loyalty […]

Unsurprisingly, although Barack Obama is supposed to be a man who can promote racial reconciliation, his supporters are trying to use his race to insulate him from valid criticism again. Here is a typically silly post from Bill Press at the HuffPo about John McCain’s excellent new ad, which happily is getting lots of free […]

Here’s an email I received this morning, From: dave OHannaghan subject: Thanks Hawkins you sad American Dum F@ck. Please don’t ever stop writing your sub retarded articles! They are f@cking hilarious! Time, I think, to place one of those guns you seem to love against your temple and rid us of your drooling ignorance you […]

The yearly Hill’s 50 Most Beautiful 2008 list is now out and as per usual, I think the rankings are a little off. So, in order to determine who the most beautiful woman on the Hill really is (Who cares about the guys, right?), I have decided to put together a poll for RWN’s readers. […]

“If we pulled completely out of Iraq, say in early 2008, you’d start seeing a slow, but steadily rising trickle of liberal bloggers and activists calling for us to leave Afghanistan, too. Then, after the 2008 election, you’d start seeing small, but significant numbers of Democratic politicians demanding that we end the “occupation” of Afghanistan. […]

“For those few Americans without an Internet connection and to whom I have not faxed the National Enquirer stories: Evidence is accumulating that John Edwards is right — there really are “two Americas.” There’s one where men cheat on their cancer-stricken wives and one where men do not cheat on their cancer-stricken wives.” — Ann […]

“The 5:20 TBA turned out to be (Obama’s) adoration session with lawmakers in the Cannon Caucus Room, where even committee chairmen arrived early, as if for the State of the Union. Capitol Police cleared the halls — just as they do for the actual president. The Secret Service hustled him in through a side door […]

In England, they now have a store stocking make-up for men, “In an increasingly metrosexual world, perhaps it was just a matter of time. But yesterday a high street store announced that it would start stocking makeup designed just for men. ‘Guy-liner’ and ‘Manscara’ to enhance the eyes of the male in your life, will […]

Since the National Enquirer caught the Silky Pony at a hotel room with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, the media landscape has been surreal. Even though Fox News has spoken with a security guard who has confirmed that Edwards was there, this huge story has been largely ignored by most of the mainstream press. In some […]

Even before yesterday, Ted Stevens was generally considered by most conservatives to be too corrupt, too out of it, and too much of an appropriator to be an effective senator. But now, it has gotten even worse, Veteran Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens was charged on Tuesday with concealing more than $250,000 worth of gifts, […]

“A number of influential people in Russia, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam say the planet is now entering a 30-year cooling period, the second half of a normal cycle driven by cyclical changes in the sun’s output and currents in the Pacific Ocean. Their theory leaves true believers in carbon catastrophe livid. To judge by […]

“When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically after being told not to do so. During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama. …Obama, who acknowledged […]

The netroots is, as we speak, happily exploiting the murders committed by Jim Adkisson, the nutjob who walked into a Unitarian church and started blasting away at innocent people enjoying a play. Apparently, the guy was a conservative and was motivated by hatred of liberals. That’s pretty ironic if you think about it. After all, […]

Today, I was reminded of one of the greatest fight scenes of all-time: the corridor brawl from the eccentric revenge flick, “OldBoy.” After finding the battle on YouTube, I thought I’d share since most of you probably haven’t seen it before. Enjoy!

Much was made of the fact that Nancy Pelosi was the first female Speaker of the House. However, little has been said about the fact that under the “first female Speaker of the House,” the approval rating of Congress has dropped to the lowest level in recorded history. In other words, the first female Speaker […]

Back in 2004, when the Democrats were running a candidate who had served in Vietnam against George Bush, who had only served in the National Guard, we were endlessly told how important it was to have a President who had actually served in the military — and, no, serving in the National Guard didn’t count […]

My co-blogger Melissa Clouthier and I disagreed about who’s more romantic, men or women. So, we decided to debate the topic on IM and let RWN’s readers vote on it. What follows is an edited transcript of our discussion and at the end, a poll. Dr. Melissa Clouthier: I believe men are more romantic about […]
