As a little thank-you to the blogs that have sent RWN the most traffic, I decided to list the top referrers for RWN for the first 4 months of the year along with the amount of traffic they’ve sent. If you’re a blogger, this will help give you an idea of some of the best […]

The US soldiers who did this to Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison are disgraces to the uniform… “The photos (JDH: only some of which are shown above) showed U.S. troops smiling, posing, laughing or giving the thumbs-up sign as naked, male Iraqi prisoners were stacked in a pyramid or positioned to simulate sex acts […]

Rep. Jim McDermott, D-WA, explained yesterday that he had omitted the words “under God” while leading House colleagues in the Pledge of Allegiance because he had learned the Pledge before 1954 when the phrase was inserted by an act of Congress. Later, a spokesman confirmed that Mr. McDermott also often forgets about the 1964 Civil […]

Have you ever read something and had to actually go back and read it again, just because you can’t believe your eyes? Well today, I had that experience as I perused the Eye Weekly, a Canadian mag that I had admittedly never seen before, but that according to their advertising material (.pdf file), has 332,000 […]

Rush Limbaugh came up with the perfect analogy for the Kerry campaign today and it was a thing of beauty to behold… “… John Kerry’s, campaign. It’s like Chappaquiddick. It’s like a car sinking to the bottom of a river with a drunk behind the wheel and the Democratic Party as the passenger. That’s the […]

For those you who don’t know, I’m one of the judges in the IMAO T-Shirt Babe Contest. And what is that you ask? 20 hawkish women all competing to win one hundred dollars cash and a hundred dollar shopping spree at ThoseShirts.com by becoming the IMAO “T-Shirt Babe” . I’ve already made my 5 selections […]

Things are looking pretty dour for John Kerry right now, and everything he does seems to make it worse. First there is his attempt to hold two simultaneous but conflicting positions like being for and against the war, for and against funding the troops, etc. He won’t even need Bush for the Presidential debates; he […]

Geeze, ya just post on your blog that there is no glass ceiling in the blogosphere, that if you were stuck on a desert island, you’d rather be stuck there with attractive women, that there aren’t 35 political readable blogs written by women on the right side of the blogosphere, and that women have the […]

Unfortunately, I have a once a year business commitment that is going to keep me tied up for a good chunk of today and tomorrow. That means nothing but news links Tuesday and Wednesday — no posts. On the upside, I’m going to be posting an interview on Thursday and after this I should be […]

It’s not unusual to hear anti-Bush partisans carping that the President hasn’t attended the funerals of any of the soldiers killed in Afghanistan & Iraq. But, as most people realize, it’s not as simple for the President to attend a funeral as it is for the rest of us. If the President did show up […]

In his most vehement defense of the war in Iraq to date, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld told reporters today, “Iraq is not ‘Gigli.’” Mr. Rumsfeld made his remark just hours after Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass) compared Iraq and the ill-fated Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck vehicle from the well of the U.S. Senate. “Can […]

The first rule of the internet, the very first one, is “don’t believe everything you hear”. That seems simple enough doesn’t it?. After all, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that something you receive in an email, see on a message board, or read on a web page with pictures […]

(Soothing Spring melody playing in the background) Serious voice: “Are you sick and tired of the Marxist-Islamist Alliance? Have you seen enough of Ketchup Boy to make you want to put WASABI on your cheeseburger from now on? Would you like a politician that DOESN’T have his hand out?” — LOUD RECORD SCRATCHING — (Smackdown […]

I don’t think there are words in English language strong enough to convey my disgust with the left-wingers at Indy Media who are trashing Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinals safety who gave up a lucrative NFL contract to serve our country as a U.S. Army Ranger, after his death in Afghanistan yesterday. I think these […]

Not long ago, I made a page called Books For Soldiers the RWN website of the day. Here’s their pitch… “Books For Soldiers is a soldier support site that ships books, DVDs and supplies to deployed soldiers and soldiers in VA hospitals, via our large volunteer network. If you have old, but useable paperback books […]

Trump, bin Laden Top Madman’s Wish-list The French lawyer representing Saddam Hussein in his upcoming trial for crimes against humanity said today that the former dictator is entitled to a jury of his peers, which in his case means “a jury packed with world-class megalomaniacs.” The attorney, Jacques Verges, said that Saddam had already drawn […]

After doing the “If I Were Stuck On A Desert Island With Just 10 Bloggers…” post last week, I thought it might be fun to do “The 10 people I’d least like to be stuck on a desert island with”. I again decided to split things up, with 5 male & 5 female selections. After […]

Well, it looks like I’ve gotten Meryl Yourish all riled up again by mentioning that Moxie was a “hot Cali chick” and that Joyce from Transcended was “easy on the eyes” in my “If I Were Stuck On A Desert Island With Just 10 Bloggers…” post last week. Here’s the crux of what Meryl said […]

Yes, this is real background from the Kerry For President Website. Look at this pic and the infamous Kerry daisy pic and ask yourself if a 60 year old man who wears a flower zipper vest when he goes snowboarding and tries to impress a bunch of 18 year old kids by playing the guitar […]

As I was perusing the Democratic Underground today, I ran across an “intriguing” column that actually made the mainpage of DU. It’s by Bernard Weiner — Ph.D don’t ya know — and it’s called Shallow Throat to Dems: “Time to Go for the Jugular” . The piece is basically an advice column — a really […]

Although several hundred thousand abortion rights supporters are expected to march in Washington D.C. this coming Sunday, a spokesman for a major special interest group said its members would not attend the rally. The American Association of Aborted People (AAAP), a political inaction committee, said none of its 38 million members would participate in the […]

Thanks to Chuck Hagel’s latest irresponsible & thoughtless comments about reinstating the draft, lefties around the net are again unneccessarily freaking out about getting drafted. For example at the Democratic Underground, we have threads titled… — Could reinstatement of the draft spark a neo counter-culture? — The DRAFT: It’s easy to send kids to war […]

After bowing to pressure to release his Vietnam-era military records, Democrat presidential hopeful John Forbes Kerry today adamantly refused to release his U.S. Senate records. “It’s one thing to probe into a candidate’s military service and medical records,” said Mr. Kerry. “But frankly what I did, or did not do, in the privacy of the […]

Hey look! The Nazis over at the Vanguard News Network noticed I was making fun of them back in Feb and they’re not pleased… Vlad: Now is that Keystone or Dethicus who posted such hateful lunacy about VNN forum? That thread on rightwingnews1.wpenginepowered.com is a fine example of wretched spite and defamation that we can […]

America’s “good friend,” Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is warning us that, “Today there is hatred of the Americans like never before in the region….At the start some considered the Americans were helping them. There was no hatred of the Americans. After what has happened in Iraq, there is unprecedented hatred and the Americans know it….People […]
