Sometimes you run across an article that’s so astonishingly vapid and ill thought out, that you just can’t help but say something about it. I ran across just such an article today, not surprisingly, at The Huffington Post. It’s by some guy named Paul Abrams and it’s called, “Latest Right-Wing Junk Science on Global Warming: […]

This is nothing less than an act of war against the United States and there is little evidence that the Bush Administration is treating it with the seriousness that it deserves, “Iranian intelligence operatives have been training Iraqi fighters inside Iran on how to use and assemble deadly roadside bombs known as EFPs, the U.S. […]

Oh, Newt…. “In a Capitol Hill debate about global warming touted by its moderator as a “smackdown” between former House speaker Newt Gingrich and Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, Gingrich praised Kerry’s recently released book about environmentalism, acknowledged that global warming is real, and offered what amounted to an unexpected apology for his party’s […]

Here’s liberal blogger TBogg on Condi Rice, “Oh oh….looks like a pouty Brown Sugar is going to ask Daddy to buy her another pair of Ferragamos Or invade another country. Whatever.” So, is brown sugar an acceptable term for a black woman now? Is that like something that Rich Lowry can call Donna Brazile the […]

Despite all the hype we’ve heard about embryonic stem cells, so far, they’ve meant about as much to medical science as Paris Hilton has meant to chastity. Not a single disease or medical advance has ever come as a result of research with embryonic stem cells. On the other hand, adult stem cells have shown […]

“Old conventional wisdom: all the Palestinians’ problems are caused by the presence of Israeli occupiers. New conventional wisdom: all the Palestinans’ problems are caused by the absence of Israeli occupiers. When the Palestinians eventually get their own state, the new catch-all excuse will be “legacy of Israeli occupation.” And people will keep falling for it.” […]

Syracuse police say they have enough evidence to charge Benito Martinez with first-degree rape, but they have to find him. The suspect has been missing since the incident happened early Saturday morning. Police say he was renting a room in a house where other families were living, including the 11-year-old victim. Police say the 11-year-old […]

You know, one of the most bizarre arguments in favor of amnesty is the argument that turning tens of millions of poor, uneducated illegal aliens, many of whom don’t speak English, into citizens is going to be a huge boon for the economy. Are the poor people who are already citizens of the United States […]

I found this rant at the Democratic Underground so mesmerizingly irritating and thoughtless that I decided to post the whole thing for your amusement (Yes, it’s really that good). Enjoy! bluedawg12: Why are we white people so angry? Why are we white people so angry? For pete’s sake we need intensive daily psychotherapy. Was gammy’s […]

Let’s see…how would a liberal blogger spin this? Maybe…the Bush Family Evil Empire has apparently moved on from killing liberal Senators like Paul Wellstone to an easier target — the hapless, slow-moving manatee! “The Florida manatee, this state’s imperiled environmental icon, in 2006 suffered its most dismal year on record. Of a population of about […]

This week-end, I did another Conservatives with Attitude! Podcast show. The guests were Sister Toldjah and me and we discussed Nancy Pelosi’s trip to the Middle East, the Iran/Britain situation, the GOP ‘08 presidential race, Fred Thompson, 1st Qtr financial statements, and who’s hot and who’s not.” You can listen to it all here.

On the one hand, I think Don Imus is an obnoxious creep. In addition to that, he’s to the left-of-center, so watching his being publicly flayed alive in a slow news cycle because of comments about “nappy headed hos” and “jiggaboos” on his show is generally fun for me. On the other, I am sick […]

“Republicans actually support our troops. Democrats, however, have to tell people over and over again that they support the troops, because their actions say the opposite.” — Matt Margolis

Right Wing News emailed more than 240 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer 7 questions (Originally, it was 8. However, one question asked was about the Iranian hostage crisis and that became irrelevant once the hostages were released). The following 74 blogs responded, Aaron’s CC, Absinthe & Cookies, The American Princess, The Anchoress, Annika’s […]

Over at MyDD, Chris Bowers wrote a convoluted 1176 word piece trying to explain to his fellow liberals how he could be liberal and patriotic at the same time. In order to come up with a way that he can define himself as patriotic, he basically concludes that it’s OK for liberals to love America […]

Over at the New York Times, they’re flogging a utopian project: a blogger code of conduct, “The conversational free-for-all on the Internet known as the blogosphere can be a prickly and unpleasant place. Now, a few high-profile figures in high-tech are proposing a blogger code of conduct to clean up the quality of online discourse. […]

In the past, to inspire people to suggest new music that I might be interested in and just for entertainment’s sake, I’ve posted the music I was currently listening to on RWN. Now, thanks to wonders of modern technology, I can tell you which songs I listened to the most over the last three months. […]

Over at Fark, they’ve been photoshopping Easter Egg hunts gone bad. Here are my 3 favorite images plus an honorable mention, Honorable Mention 3rd Place 2nd Place 1st Place

“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.” – Ronald Reagan “And that prince who bases his power entirely on…words, finding himself completely without other preparations, comes to ruin…” — Niccolo Machiavelli After the horrors of WWI, people became so adverse to war that, in 1928, nations […]

Duncan Hunter had a blogger teleconference this afternoon at 3:00. Since I consult for Duncan through TCV Media, I didn’t write the conference up. However, since I suggested it and suggested making the related video that was also released today, I thought I should at least post Duncan’s video pitch to conservatives on the internet. […]

This excerpt, from the Smirking Chimp Blog, is from a guy who has obviously been reading, way, way, way too much of Noam Chomsky’s unhinged theories, “Increasingly, United States foreign and domestic policies are determined by a relative handful of cynical bourgeois, some of whom are not even US Americans. Their malevolence is exceeded only […]

Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Syria has really backfired on her. Not only does her trip make her look soft on terrorism, she’s actually getting compliments from terrorists. Additionally, pictures of her wearing a hijab have been everywhere, are drawing almost universally negative comments, and will probably be brought up here and there for years to […]
