Mysterious Wooden Structure Causing Pre-Olympic Jitters Olympic security officials in Athens, Greece conceded today that they had failed to notice a giant wooden horse that had been wheeled to within meters of the Olympic stadium sometime late last week. The sudden appearance of the gigantic horse, which was said to measure over one hundred cubits […]

If there were such a thing as the “chutzpah Olympics”, these Germans would finish just behind the Egyptian dean who wanted to sue the Jews for stealing gold during their exodus from Egypt. You’re going to think this is satire, but it’s a real story from the Washington Times… “In what might seem an act […]

Washington, DC – Aides to presidential candidate John Kerry today dismissed as “obscene libel” and “preposterous lies” a new book that questions Kerry’s service during the Vietnam War. Written by a group of veterans who served with Kerry during his 4-month tour, “Misfit For Duty: John F. Kerry’s Christmas Turkey” claims that Kerry embellished his […]

For more than 30 years, it looks as if John Kerry has been doing this… For example, here’s John Kerry talking about Cambodian Christmas back in 1986, “Mr. President, I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge […]

I’ve got a huge surprise for you later today that will absolutely blow you away or I got really behind and won’t be able to update until oh…say 5 PM EST…I forget which. I’m not sure what happened exactly…I mean I was watching “Kill Bill 2”, checking through some old WW2 propaganda posters, updating ads, […]

Yesterday, in an attempt to answer a question posed by George Bush, John Kerry affirmed that he would have voted to give George Bush the authority to go to war in Iraq “even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found.” Of course, that long overdue answer to a very […]

In the olden days, the ruler of a nation was decided by who was strongest and could best kill his enemies. Political discourse consisted merely of battle cries. An October surprise consisted of ninjas jumping down from rafters. And everyone was happy. Now, eventually this became more civilized, leading to the contest for American President […]

One of the most common refrains about Bush that you’ll hear from liberals is that W. is “stupid”, an “idiot”, a “moron”, & of course, how could we ever forget “dumb”? But we must remember that liberals said exactly the same thing about Reagan and Quayle and will likely try to claim that either the […]

I was pleased to get an opportunity to interview Michael Barone, a man who knows about as much about the ins-and-outs of elections and political history as anyone walking the planet, via email. Mr. Barone writes a regular column for U.S. News & World Report & is a political contributor for Fox News. Furthermore, he […]

Sadly, “(r)etired Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and now an adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, has been hospitalized in Washington state after a severe stroke, Pentagon officials said Monday.” Now most people, whatever their political persuasion might be, would be sorry to hear that Mr. Shalikashvili […]

One of the first names that comes to mind, perhaps THE first name that comes to mind, when you talk about liberals in the United State Senate, is Teddy Kennedy. And largely because of that liberalism — although leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to die certainly doesn’t help — Ted Kennedy would be defeated as badly […]

After the John Kerry campaign trotted out the lawyers (big surprise there) in an attempt to shut-up the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, they’ve fired back at Kerry with a devastating attack on his record in Vietnam. Here are a few of the key charges the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have made against John […]

Oh great. A nutjob, racist, crank named James Hart managed to get himself on the ballot in Tennessee’s 8th District. He’s running in a district that has been gerrymandered to make sure a Democrat is going to win, so apparently the Party didn’t realize he was a young Robert Byrd until it was too late […]

Is this the sort of “decisive leadership” in the war on terrorism that we can look forward to if John Kerry gets in the White House? “John Kerry must be frustrated in his campaign if he is armchair-quarterbacking based on cues from Michael Moore,” Giuliani said. “John Kerry is an indecisive candidate who has demonstrated […]

This has nothing to do with conservatism, but it’s really funny…. Lol… *** This graphic was created by Nick15 for a Fark photoshop thread called “The customer is always right, but usually an idiot. Photoshop the signs or notices companies wish they could post for their customers“. ***

Despite the fact that John Kerry has made his four months in Vietnam the centerpiece of his entire campaign, the mainstream media has given him a complete free pass on his time spent in Vietnam. Perhaps more importantly, the media has allowed John Kerry to gloss over his days after the war, when his disgraceful […]

Found at Yahoo… “Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry runs past a woman as he heads toward a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter, at a Vietnam memorial as he stopped to greet supporters along route 61…” Hat tip to Henry Hanks from Croooow Blog for finding this one.

Folks — and I kid you not — I now stand accused of being part of a bizarro-world, racist, t-shirt conspiracy. It all started with this shirt, modeled by Glenn Reynolds from Instapundit. I, along with Glenn Reynolds and Frank J. from IMAO, all endorsed the shirt (The company selling the shirts, Those Shirts, is […]

To preempt the release of a new book questioning John Forbes Kerry’s account of his service in Vietnam, the Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign announced it had received the endorsement of yet another military veterans group. Viet Cong Veterans for Kerry (VCVFK), an ad hoc group of North Vietnamese soldiers who served in the early 1970s, said […]

— It’s hard for me to believe that a company like Subway would be dumb enough to do something like this… “Picture this: a gigantic cheeseburger (with tomatoes and lettuce) slamming into two high-rise buildings, as cartoon characters run from the flaming ruins. It’s clearly a takeoff on the 9/11 terror attacks on the World […]

Ah…there’s nothing like knowing that most of your readers aren’t going to agree with you even before you even start writing a post. But what the heck, I’ve never let it stop me before… “A Central Florida woman was fired from her job after eating “unclean” meat and violating a reported company policy that pork […]

If you were asked to name America’s most prominent advocate of gun control, who would it be? If there was a poll of RWN’s readers, I suspect that Mr. “Bowling For Columbine” himself, Michael Moore, would probably be chosen as the foremost enemy of the 2nd Amendment. And that is why I found this quote […]

I know there are a lot of bloggers out there who are wondering, “What in the world do I have to do to build traffic? Do I have to work for Nick Denton? Presents — do I have to give Glenn Reynolds presents? Do I have to be a well known writer like Andrew Sullivan […]

— This guy, Wesley Bono, has a unique take on the 1st Amendment… “A farmer who acknowledged spreading 3 tons of manure along the route of a gay rights parade pleaded innocent Monday, saying he was exercising his constitutional right to free speech.” Here’s a hint for farmer Bono, the First Amendment doesn’t say anything […]

A few decades ago in the US, bigots wanted to separate Americans by race because they didn’t think white people should have to be around blacks. But today, we have politically correct nebbeches at the University of Colorado at Boulder trying to split Americans by race because they’re afraid of what will happen if black […]

Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today announced that he has retained attorney, and running mate, John Edwards to file suit against the Democrat National Committee (DNC) over injuries related to an alleged “post-convention bounce.” “We had received certain assurances from top DNC officials that this celebration of my client’s nomination would result in a […]

Writer Michael Mandelbaum has produced a column called, “Why America hates (soccer)“. Mandelbaum speculates that Americans dislike “footie” because… — Baseball, basketball, & football are already popular here — it’s so similar to BASKETBALL (that’s simply a bizarre argument) — the games end in draws too often. Of course, this ignores the “elephant in the […]

Who gave the Democrats a national convention? Well, before their crazy ideas can spread too far, I sent my crack research team to find all they can about the dreaded Crat’s of Dem. FUN FACTS ABOUT DEMOCRATS * Democrats chose the donkey as their symbol because the Democrat base smells as bad as one and […]
