To tell you the truth, the mainstream media’s faux outrage over not being alerted sooner about Dick Cheney mistaking one of his pals for quail has already gotten old. Here’s a long report from Time on the whole thing: “Cheney insisted on carrying out a strategy he had worked out with the ranch owner, Katharine […]

One of the fascinating things about polls is that relatively minor changes in the way that a question is phrased or coming at an issue from a slightly different angle can cause wild shifts in the results. For example, take a look at these results from a CNN / USA Today / Gallup poll of […]

Last month, it was revealed that Hamas hired a spin doctor to try to improve their image with Americans and Europeans. Well, if the latest Gallup Poll is on target, even if they could get their hands on the billion plus Arafat stole from the Palestinians and hire PR firms with it, it wouldn’t make […]

Hat tip to Michelle Malkin & Expose The Left for pointing out the bumper sticker.

It’s no surprise that Democrats, especially Liberals among them, have been exceptionally unhappy with President George W. Bush. Besides the obvious self-pity that they exude at every opportunity, and the ill-chosen flight from maturity in their choice of descriptions, there seems a genuine note of desperation. And that got me thinking. When 2009 rolls in, […]

Dick Cheney made an enormous, embarrassing mistake when he “peppered,” “blasted,” “shot,” however you want to put it, his pal Harry Whittington during a quail hunting trip. Whittington is lucky he wasn’t seriously injured in the accident and Cheney was right to apologize to him. However, the left side of the blogosphere seems to have […]

Dick Morris worked for the Clintons for a long time and therefore, knows them very well. That’s why it was sort of a surprise when he started running around claiming that Hillary was an unstoppable juggernaut and the only hope the GOP had was to run Condi Rice against her. Today, Morris has written a […]

The left’s obsessional hatred of Wal-Mart seems to be picking up steam. Now, there’s even a liberal anti-Wal-Mart documentary / political propaganda piece taking shots at Sam Walton’s baby: “A documentary on the perils of runaway capitalism that spotlights Wal-Mart screened at the Berlin Film Festival on Saturday, and interest among European distributors and television […]

Question: “Surely you HAVE to have some issues with the way the Iraq war has been managed / budgeted / generally executed, right? I mean, even if one agreed with the general idea of an invasion, why the rush to action? Why wasn’t more input outside of the general bush ‘circle of eight’ at least […]

Question: “Any suggestions for those of us who would eventually like to make a career out of blogging (ex: affiliate programs to join, partnerships with other bloggers, how to sell advertising effectively, the best methods & places to advertise a site etc…)?

Question: “Ann Coulter. I know you love her. But I’d be interested in hearing your take on her CPAC speech. http://www.northamericanpatriot.com It’s bound to be on Drudge by dinner ;)” — Wonder Woman Answer: By the way, the quote in question is: “R*ghead talks tough, r*ghead faces thunderous consequences.” I’ve always been a big supporter […]

Question: “Is there any one underlying reason that the Democrats are in a Kamikaze death spiral into irrelevance?” — n_obrain Answer: Here’s their problem in a nutshell: Liberals are much farther from the American mainstream than conservatives are. In fact, if the left ran on the sort of liberal agenda that people like Kos, Moore, […]

Question: “Why is it that when I put “rightwingnews” in Yahoo the top links are sites like Stormfront and your site is nowhere to be seen? It doesn’t do that on Google, and unless “rightwingnews1.wpenginepowered.com” is entered in Yahoo your site doesn’t even show up on the top of the results. I haven’t bookmarked the […]

Question: “Was Coretta Scott Kings funeral more or less political than Pat Tillman and Ronald Reagans respective funerals? Is it partisan to speak the truth?” — faithfull Answer: No comment on Pat Tillman’s funeral because I didn’t see it and have never even heard anyone suggest that it was “political” before. As to Reagan’s funeral, […]

Question: “In the face of the severe damage done to our intelligence gathering efforts by the wiretapping story, what, if any, reforms do you think would correct the problems and environment that led to this disastrous leak?

The lefty impeachment bandwagon seems to be picking up steam. Here’s a pic from another one of these liberal loon groups taken by Bryan Preston at CPAC: Let’s see: they chose a grab bag of dubious, highly partisan charges, none of which are supported by the facts, and claim that Bush should be impeached because […]

What is the lesson to be learned here? 1) Muslims threaten Europe with boycotts and violence and demand press regulations. 2) Europe begins the process of outlawing images deemed offensive to Muslims. Lesson: If you want Europe to adopt sharia (Islamic) law, simply threaten then. My guess is that next Muslims will demand an end […]

We discussed feminism, sexual harassment, the wage gap, women in the military, & women’s […]

A few years back in Zimbabwe, uber-genius dictator-for-life, Robert Mugabe, came up with a “brilliant” idea: persecuting all the white farmers in the country and stealing their land. Granted, these people were pretty much feeding the entire country, but hey, who needs food, right? Well, now that the country is in the middle of a […]
