Since Rolling Stone put out their 500 greatest songs of all time, I thought it would be a good time to put out my own top 50 songs of all-time. Incidentally, I notice that there’s absolutely no overlap whatsoever between their top 50 and mine =D 50) Melt With You: Modern English 49) Wild Boys: […]

Although there was a good buzz around the film, I must admit that I wasn’t intending to go see “The Incredibles” until I read what Stuart Klawans had to say about the film in The Nation, “The reason, according to (Brad) Bird, is that the Parrs’ strange talents are rooted in normal family traits. Fathers […]

For a long while now, Democrats have been claiming, in some form or fashion, that poor and middle class voters are voting against their own economic self interests when they vote Republican. They may say voters are “not voting their pocketbooks” when they vote Republican, say that a vote for Bush by someone who’s poor […]

I thought you might like reading a couple of emails I’ve gotten from one William Cox, who’s quite perturbed at the whole “anti-Nazi” attitude he has found at RWN =D. I guess you really can’t please everybody, lol. Hope you enjoy the nutty emails as much as I did… From: william cox Sent: Wednesday, November […]

Ok, I’ll admit that this is a strange non sequitur of a post, likely prompted by all a combination of Comtrex, Tylenol, and the old Star Trek episodes that I’ve been watching on TiVo tonight, but have any of you ever noticed that the “Prime Directive,” the most important rule of the Star Trek series […]

The retail industry received another shake-up today as Sears Holding Corp. (NYSE: S), the parent company behind the recent merger of Sears and Kmart, announced the acquisition of embattled European cheesemaker France (NASDAQ: FROG). The buyout deal, estimated at $2.7 billion, will position Sears/Kmart/France as the world’s third largest retailer and 15th ranked military power. […]

Yes, here in America, if you’re so intensely stupid that you can’t even figure out that railroad tracks are built so that “choo-choos” can run on them, there may be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for you… “Patricia M. Frankhouser filed suit on Nov. 4 seeking damages in excess of […]

Ugh…I’m stuffed up, have a headache, a sore throat, and generally don’t feel all that well. In fact, I’ve already spent 4 hours trying to sleep it off without success since work. So unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to take the rest of the night off. I should be updating tomorrow — as […]

Just a day after news that Saddam Hussein bilked the United Nations out of more than $21.3 billion during the 13 years Iraq languished under U.N. sanctions, the chief Iranian nuclear negotiator pleaded with the Security Council to “slap us with sanctions like Saddam’s.” “We expect equal treatment,” said Hassan Rowhani, who recently told European […]

I’m going to be on a Las Vegas radio show called Subject To Discussion tonight at 11:30 PM EST. We’re going to be talking about a variety of subjects and I believe (although I’m not sure), that I’m going to be on for about 30 minutes. You should be able to listen to it live […]

There’s an undercurrent of chatter about the recount and count of provisional ballots in Ohio on both sides of the political spectrum. Some Conservatives are worried that somehow the Democrats will manage to pull it out of their hats and a lot of lefties are hoping against hope that Kerry is going to be able […]

Ah, these liberals! They never truly realize the power of the vast right wing conspiracy until its too late! For example, take “Sarah Wise,” a person who sent me an email yesterday… “From: Sarah Wise Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 8:17 PM Subject: (None) You are so retarded.” Tsk, tsk, tsk…sending a message like that […]

Overheard in a Fallujah “militant” stronghold, November 3 First Militant: “But what about the provisional vote? Can’t the tall infidel still wrest Ohio from the cowboy monkey?” Second Militant: “Alas, my brother, I fear the calculus redounds against him. Which reminds me: where did we put those Kevlar head scarves, do you remember…?” Overheard inside […]

Most conservatives, myself included, tend to be relatively optimistic by nature and so I thought it would be a good idea to post 10 things to help keep us from getting caught up in triumphalism after the great election we just had. Here we go… 1) On the one hand, George Bush defeated John Kerry […]

I think a lot of what people call “lack of planning” in Iraq is really just “lack of perspective”. What we’re doing there is worthwhile, but it’s not easy or simple. No matter how you slice it, it’s bloody, dangerous, and dirty work….just like it was in Germany after after WW2… “Try Germany 1946, in […]

A lot of people, particularly on the left, have been ripping the marines over this story. Me? I think the marine did the right thing. Here are the details… “The incident played out as the Marines 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, came to the unidentified Fallujah mosque Saturday. Sites was embedded with the unit. A day […]

World Diplomacy Rerouted to Calling Center in Bangalore President George W. Bush seized the opportunity presented by Colin Powell’s resignation as Secretary of State to outsource the State Department to India, the White House confirmed today. With budget deficits spiraling out of control, the president saw a chance for significant cost-savings by having all of […]

So I’m browsing Little Miss Attilla earlier today and I run across my fave response yet to the liberal crybaby page, Sorry Everybody, that I mentioned yesterday….. Now that is my kind of woman and she even has RWN linked. Ya gotta love it…

(*** For this post, I’m going to cover a variety of different topics in three sentences or less ***) — Regrettably, I’m starting to get the feeling that Arlen Specter is going to be confirmed as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. While I’m not particularly happy about that, I do take comfort in the fact […]

President George Bush today added to his “record of fundamentalist bigotry” by replacing his departing secretary of state, who is black, with National Security Advisor Condaleezza Rice, the daughter of a minister who has admitted to praying to God up to 10 times per day, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. “It’s another step […]

If you haven’t seen the Sorry Everybody website, you should definitely check it out. It’s full of crybaby lefties apologizing to the world for Bush’s victory and sanctimonious foreigners accepting their apologies. It seems to irritate most people, but I find it to be hilarious! Just check out these pics from the page and you’ll […]

“I’m not sure where we went wrong,” says Ellen McCormack, nervously fondling the recycled paper cup holding her organic Kona soy latte. “It seems like only yesterday Rain was a carefree little boy at the Montessori school, playing non-competitive musical chairs with the other children and his care facilitators.” “But now…” she pauses, staring out […]

John Kerry was a terrible candidate who did everything wrong, a real Michael Dukakis version 2.0. In fact, Kerry ran such a poor campaign that I think we in the GOP should examine the Kerry campaign and try to learn from it, so we don’t make the same mistakes. With that in mind, here are […]

I hope everyone enjoyed all the posts. I’ll be doing another Q&A Friday in 3-4 weeks. See you on Monday & have a nice week-end!

Question: “Given that a Balanced Budget Amendment was #1 on your priority list for the Republican Congress’s domestic agenda, what programs you would support cutting in order to get the budget balanced? We are talking about $350-$400 Billion worth of cuts (and that # excludes off-budget spending for the War On Terror)to make this happen. […]

Question: “I’ve been reading and posting here for quite a while and here is something I was wondering John – that many of us probably would like answered – though I trust your views completely because mine are similar but I was wondering – Who are you? What is your job in real life (what […]

Question: “Putting any ideology aside, do you honestly believe that Roe v. Wade will ever be overturned?” — Schroman2002 Answer: My opinion on Roe v. Wade mirrors that of Robert Bork who says that, “Roe v. Wade…was a radical deformation of the Constitution. The Constitution has nothing to say about abortion, leaving it, like most […]

Question: “Can you give me one really good reason why Americans should not be allowed to buy prescription drugs from other countries?” — Schroman2002 Answer: One “really good reason”? Sure! It’s all about backdoor price controls. Let me explain…. Let’s say an American drug company makes drug x and it costs $45 a bottle to […]

Question: “Do you think it is possible that a pro-choice republican candidate could win the presidency in 2008?” — wisconsinite Answer: Theoretically, yes. Practically, it would be much harder to pull off because in order to satisfy the majority of the party which is pro-life, the candidate would have to promise not to move backwards […]
