— Since I was a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs,” I was looking forward to seeing “The Village” this week-end. So was it another world beating “Signs” or a good, but not great movie like “Unbreakable”? Well, unfortunately, while the movie wasn’t a stinker, it was kind of slow and I had basically […]

Bush strategist Matthew Dowd predicted Kerry would get a 15 point bounce from the convention. Terry McAuliffe predicted an 8-10 point bounce. But, at the last RWN blogger symposium, we didn’t expect to see Kerry get that sort of bump… “John Hawkins: So Matthew Dowd with the Bush campaign predicted Kerry will get a 15 […]

I recently finished Thomas Sowell’s magnificent book, “The Vision of the Anointed” and I’d give it my highest recommendation. After you take a look at these quotes that I prepared, go out, buy the book, and read it ASAP. It will have a really help you understand how liberals think…(Cont)

Many conservatives, myself included, would probably be accused of anti-intellectualism because we, like William F. Buckley, “would rather be governed by the first 300 names in the Boston telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard University”. However, I believe the term “anti-intellectualism” is a misnomer. Conservatives aren’t hostile to intellectuals per se, many of […]

Players Chug Beer at References to Military Service Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry’s acceptance speech at the Democratic national convention last night inspired Democrats nationwide and a popular drinking game, with revelers taking pulls from their beers every time Mr. Kerry referred to his military service. Donny Timlin, a frequent patron at the T.G.I. […]

A running theme that a lot of liberals love to hit on is how stupid most of the American people are compared to left-wingers. Yes, many of the same intellectual powerhouses who believe we invaded Afghanistan for oil, went to Iraq so “Bush could git revenge fur his daddy”, and think Communism could work if […]

As I turned off Adam Sandler’s “50 First Dates” and turned to John Kerry blabbing about “trees being cathedrals”, his dad, and his “pride in freedom”….I pondered the reported 55 minute length of Kerry’s speech and was tempted to go back to the movie. But, I plodded on and did my duty as a blogger […]

Here’s an excerpt from a column in Esquire, “The Case for George W. Bush,” which was written by Tom Junod who comes across at least as someone who leans to the left & doesn’t like W very much, but just can’t help asking the obvious question, “What if he’s right and we’re wrong”… “Still, I […]

Hat tip to the king of all blogging photoshoppers, Allah from Allah Is In The House for creating this one.

President George Bush today threatened to destroy the Democrat party with “endless waves of exploding Republican martyrs in order to cleanse the earth of the poisonous evil of liberalism.” The statement from the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign confirmed what Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-MA, told delegates last night at the Democrat convention in Boston: “The only […]

Since John Kerry — or as I think of him, Senator Flip-Flop, is going to be introducing himself to the American people at the Democratic National Convention this week, I thought it would be a great time to let people know what John Kerry is really like….And he sure isn’t the centrist, tax cutting, hawk […]

“Is Sullivan pulling a slow-motion David Brock move?” — Michelle Malkin reader Sky King on July 26th Today on July 28th, here’s Andrew Sullivan’s new masthead via Spoons… Gee, either the fundraising drive is going really, really, badly or Sully took a look at what conservatives around the blogosphere have been saying about him since […]

Michael Moore and Bill O’Reilly had a conversation/interview/confrontation, whatever you want to call it, and Moore kept pounding away at O’Reilly with a question he really seemed unable to answer effectively. Here’s a snippet of the conversation that’ll allow you to get the gist of it… “Michael Moore: So you would sacrifice your child to […]

In an effort to halt his decline in the polls, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee John Forbes Kerry has been dropped from the speaker list at the Democrat National Convention. “We can’t afford to let 30 million Americans actually see and hear John Kerry speak on primetime television,” said an unnamed DNC official. “His recent increase […]

Right Wing News emailed more than a 175 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of who they considered to be “History’s Biggest Impact Players”. Representatives from 37 blogs responded… All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-20 selections. Rank was determined simply by the number of votes received. Furthermore, the […]

The nation’s sleepless, in dire need of rest, are converging upon Boston for the Democratic National Convention, according to the Beantown Travel & Tourism Agency. “We’ve heard rumors about how John Kerry speeches are popular among insomniacs,” said the BTTA spokesman Marty Rossi. Rossi observed that people “wearing ratty bathrobes” and “shuffling about the streets […]

Thanks to Greyhawk from the The Mudville Gazette for alerting me that Kim Komando gave RWN a nice Blogads related plug today. Man, I wish I could have heard what she said about me…

Here we are, almost 4 years out from Al Gore’s defeat at the hands of George Bush in the 2000 election, and the Democrats are still claiming W. stole the election. Listening to Gore ramble on about it last night was almost pathetic in a way — sort of like watching White Snake or Poison, […]

Above the Democratic National Convention floated the Halliburton Dirigible of Evil. “Don’t you think ‘Zeppelin of Evil’ would sound eviler?” Bush queried. “I didn’t name it,” Cheney responded. Rumsfeld glared down at Boston. “All our enemies in one place – seems like the time for a tactical strike to wipe them out once and for […]

Tomorrow, I’ll be releasing a new blogger poll on “History’s Biggest Impact Players”. The plan was to put it out yesterday, then today, but I am slammed with work related duties that will probably keep me behind the 8-ball all week. Again, if you’re a blogger who participated…sorry, but you’ll have to wait another day […]

I really, honestly, truly, did not want to tear into Andrew Sullivan. He was nice enough to do an interview with me, he has linked me 2 or 3 times (I’ve linked him many times as well), and truth be told, I don’t like the idea of slamming other conservative bloggers. Not that I won’t […]

Looking for the perfect gift for your pregnant liberal friend who’s planning to use abortion as belated birth control? Just give this shirt to your friend and then you can drive her to the abortion clinic in style! Sure, your friend may be about to have her own baby’s brains sucked out, but, at least […]

Blackfive tells me that he saw RWN’s banner mentioned in a story about blogs on CNN Saturday. Did anyone else catch that? If so, can you fill me in the details for me?

I love how every security measure that comes down the pike reminds hysterical left-wingers of the 3rd Reich or Orwell’s “1984”…well, if Republicans are suggesting it. On the other hand, here’s “an area designated for organized protests” at the Democratic National Convention… I guess the people who want to exercise their First Amendment Rights at […]

Hi, I’m John Edwards, the presumptive Democratic nominee for vice president. There has been a lot of talk from the other side recently about my lack of experience. Well, it’s time to counter that with some hard facts. Below are just some of the amazing things I have managed to accomplish. This’ll show ’em. – […]

Andrew Sullivan whose hatred of religious conservatives is only matched by his love of using “Jesse Jacksonesque” tactics (“Everyone who disagrees with my agenda is a bigot”) to bash his detractors, is furious over a bill passed in the House that’s intended to reign in judicial activism as it related to gay marriage. Here’s what […]

Former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Shelby, is contradicting the 9/11 commission and adding a new twist to a monster story that the mainstream press has long ignored: Clinton turning down Sudan’s offer to hand over Osama Bin Laden in 1996…. “I’m privy to some information on this,” Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told […]
