(Last night, I was chatting with my buddy Cassy Fiano about actress Keira Knightley saying that she wants to give up showbiz and become an “insignificant speck”. Cassy gave me permission to put the edited transcript up on RWN.) Cassy Fiano: Keira Knightley is also saying she wants to quit acting so she can become […]

Not only was Spider-Man my favorite comic as a kid, the first two Spider-Man movies were amongst my top 50 favorite movies of all-time. So, I am very partial to the movies, but I think the third installment of the series was definitely a few cuts below the flicks that came before. There were three […]

From Rasmussen, America’s most accurate polling agency, “Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure. Republicans reject that view and, by […]

Animal rights wackos are trying to get a chimp declared to be a human being in Austrian courts, “In some ways, Hiasl is like any other Viennese: He indulges a weakness for pastry, likes to paint and enjoys chilling out watching TV. But he doesn’t care for coffee, and he isn’t actually a person–at least […]

I’ve never been much of a “joiner,” so I’ve always been slow to get involved in online petitions or groups. But, I figure if I’m going to be openly telling big name conservatives that they should be raising money for the GOP, I better do a little more myself to push the movement. With that […]

There’s a headline over at Drudge that says, “CNN’S DOBBS ON ’60 MINUTES’: U.S. COULD DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS.” Here’s the quote, “Dobbs is against amnesty programs for illegal immigrants and the president’s guest worker proposal, so Stahl wonders whether Dobbs thinks the government could deport all illegal immigrants. “I’ve never called for their deportation,”says Dobbs.

Last week, people seemed to really enjoy reading about 10 Differences between Conservatives And Liberals. So, this week, I thought it might be a good idea to point out 10 more issues about which conservatives are right and liberals are wrong. 10) Conservatives believe that the United Nations is a corrupt, anti-American, anti-Semitic talking shop […]

— I’m going to be “sort of” living blogging the debate. I say “sort of,” because if the GOP debate is as dull as the Democrat debate, there aren’t going to be that many comments made that really catch my ear. But, I will be watching and every so often, I’ll chime in with something. […]

I don’t care if the Iraqis want to carp a little, but the Iraqi parliament better think twice about taking a two month long vacation this summer, “Iraqi lawmakers said Thursday they might consider shortening — or canceling completely — their planned two-month summer break to continue working on crucial issues facing the country. But […]

Granted, the guy who put this together is completely insane (I think it’s the same guy Danny Bonaduce yelled at), but I admire his technique. You go up to a bunch of attractive women on the beach, ask them to say something nutty (half of them probably don’t even know what they’re saying), and string […]

I will be watching the debate tonight and posting comments while it’s going on, but given the length of it, I am going to be sparing with my commentary (So, I will update the post, just not every couple of minutes). So, if you’re on the net tonight and watching the debate, feel free to […]

ABC says it’s treading lightly in dealing with the phone numbers it received in the DC Madam case, Washingtonians eagerly — and, some nervously — await Friday night’s “20/20” special on ABC, when reporter Brian Ross and his investigative team present what they’ve unearthed about Deborah Jeane Palfrey (aka the “D.C. Madam”) and her clients. […]

The Democrats are absolutely determined to lose the war in Iraq for political reasons and if that means trashing and lying about David Petraeus because he actually wants to win, well so be it. Take a look at the lie John Murtha told about Petraeus on the Chris Matthews show, “Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) this […]

The online GOP Straw Polls had more than 12,000 votes cast this month from all around the blogosphere. Here’s how the candidate acceptability numbers (the percentage of people who say the candidate is acceptable, minus the number who say the candidate is unacceptable) broke out.

The Obama campaign has managed to turn its MySpace page, which had a staggering 160k+ users (next best was Hillary with 42k) into a screw up big enough to make the Drudge Report. Long story short, A guy named Joe Anthony started the Obama MySpace page and it was doing so well, Obama’s people just […]

Back in November of last year, I, along with many other conservatives, questioned the wisdom of putting a part-timer like Mel Martinez in charge of the RNC. Here’s what I wrote back then, “Then there’s the RNC, where Ken Mehlman, who was an excellent RNC Chairman, is being replaced by sitting Senator Mel Martinez and […]

Duke Cunningham and William Jefferson are rank amateurs compared to Diane Feinstein, who funneled millions of dollars worth of government contracts to her own husband’s companies. “California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) chairs the Senate Rules Committee, but she’s also a Cardinal. She is currently chairwoman of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies subcommittee, but until […]
