Bloggers should pay a lot of attention to this story because if Google were to go down in flames, we can expect to be the next target on the list: “A group of newspaper, magazine and book publishers is accusing Google and other aggregators of online news stories of unfairly exploiting their content. They are […]

European editors of various newspapers and magazines began to publish the 12 cartoons of Muhammed (shown here) in a gesture of support for the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten. The cartoons, all or in part, were published in France by the newspaper France Soir; in Germany, the conservative Die Welt printed one image on its front […]

Tom Elia at The New Editor links to a story in the Detroit News that notes some union hypocrisy. Imagine that. Unions are hiring homeless people to picket non-unionized employers for not paying employees more and not providing more health benefits. But, guess what? In Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta and elsewhere in the country, union organizers […]

In order to achieve victory in Iraq, we need to replace Saddam Hussein with a democratic government capable of handling its own internal security. That’s why the progress of the Iraqi military is so important. As Bush has said many times, “As Iraqis stand up, we will stand down.” Well, there’s interesting news on that […]

Interesting thought I just had…. Five years ago, RWN had just been created and had something like 300 readers. A year ago, I was blogging, but was also still doing tech support for a living. Yesterday I spoke to 6 Senators, was mentioned in Time magazine, and I now blog for a living. And I’m […]

“President George W. Bush vowed on Wednesday the United States would defend Israel militarily if needed against Iran and denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for “menacing talk” against Israel. …”I am concerned about a person that, one, tries to rewrite the history of the Holocaust, and two, has made it clear that his intentions are […]

You know that horrible feeling you get way down in your gut when you hear the Star Spangled Banner? Oh, you don’t? Well, then I guess you must not be a liberal who frequents the forums of the Democratic Underground: in_cog_ni_to: Has this ever happened to you? The Star Spangled Banner use to bring tears […]

After the cloture vote on Alito, I was still watching C-Span when Senator Jim DeMint came on and gave one heck of a great speech. Unfortunately, it wasn’t available online, so I called DeMint’s office and they emailed a copy of his remarks out to me. It would be great if more Senators were willing […]

Right Wing News got a mention in a Time article about Rudi Giuliani’s chances of taking the GOP nomination in 2008: The conservative blog, RightWingNews reported last week that while Condoleezza Rice was the top choice of 230 conservative bloggers for the Republican nomination, Giuliani came in second, beating out U.S. Senator George Allen and […]

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 now tell you which songs I listened to the most over the last month. […]

— Alito in his fancy new robe. You gotta love it… — Actual comment to my buddy Nanogirl earlier tonight: “oh great — cindy sheehan will be there tonight. Gawd, I bet she makes a scene.” And so she did. The early word from K-Lo is: “She apparently was in the gallery and unfolder a […]

Earlier tonight, I was fortunate enough to get in on a rolling conference with 5 different Republican Senators sponsored by the Senate Republican Conference. Moreover, probably because the subject line of the email gave the impression that the event was in Washington, there were only a handful of other bloggers on there. The general idea […]

58-42. We win. They lose. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to be! *** Update #1 *** See? I told you so… “Now, let’s imagine that Bush asks Harriet Miers to fall on the sword because of conservative opposition. After that, he gives a press conference, tells everyone that Harriet would have been fantastic, but unfortunately […]

Today, I was invited to a teleconference with Senator Tom Coburn, the biggest deficit hawk in the Senate. Coburn is getting ready to go to war on earmarks (Think pork) and he wanted to make sure that the right side of the blogosphere had his back and would be on the look-out for wasteful spending […]

After discovering the existence of (and yes, this is a real children’s book) Why Mommy is a Democrat… …I asked RWN’s readers to come up with some lines that they wouldn’t be surprised to see in the book. Here are the top 10 they came up with: “Mommy, how come you take half my paper […]

The Kossacks are not taking Alito’s imminent confirmation very well. Here’s a quote from one of the “Recommended Diaries” at the Daily Kos last night by a Maryscott OConnor. It’s so over-the-top it’s funny… “…I don’t know what to DO with this list (of Democrats who voted for Cloture), not yet — but I know […]

Despite what they say at election time, much of the left is deeply hostile towards the military. They don’t like what soldiers do for a living, they don’t like that they tend to be conservative, and they’re not particularly happy that members of the military are held in such high esteem by most of the […]

My condolences go out to the friends and family of Coretta Scott King. I was sorry to hear that she passed away.

Over at the Smirking Chimp, I ran across an ad for a book that was so eye catching, so compelling, that I just had to check it out. That’s right, folks, the Democrats finally have an answer for Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed! and it’s called Why Mommy is a Democrat: Here’s […]

The latest John Leo column focuses on the hot new craze on the left side of the blogosphere: ranting about how conservative the mainstream media is =D. From Leo: “Liberals wage many battles, but have you heard which one is the major struggle now? Brace yourselves: It’s the campaign “against the established media and its […]

You’ll never guess which page linked RWN. No, really — guess! Believe it or not, the Democratic Underground blind linked RWN’s The Best Quotes From Ann Coulter’s ‘Slander’ as part of an effort to slag Ann Coulter in their latest Top 10 Conservative Idiots. Can you imagine the moonbats at that website coming here? It […]

I’ve just started reading a media copy of Judge Charles Pickering’s Supreme Chaos (His book was advertised on RWN and I’m working on getting an interview with him) and there was a quote in it from Nan Aron, the president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, an influential liberal activist group. Here’s what Nan had […]

“Mr. Armey, a former economics professor, vividly recalls the House leadership meeting in late 2001 that prompted his decision to retire.
