Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought a main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Amazon… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, but he […]

On Friday, I got together with David Frum for a phone interview. For those of you unfamiliar with David Frum, he was once a speechwriter for President Bush, is a Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, writes for National Review, and has a new book out that he co-authored with Richard Perle entitled, “An […]

Here’s my brief analysis of who Bush’s toughest opponent would be out of the 4 remaining viable Democratic candidates… #4) Howard Dean: Dean is a tailor made opponent for George Bush. He’s gaffe prone, has already famously gotten off on the wrong foot with the South, is stridently anti-war, wants to revoke all of Bush’s […]

Once again, it’s time to post some of RWN’s hate mail for your amusement. The first piece of hate mail I received was sent because Right Wing News is so neutral, impartial, so, so….fair and balanced, I posted a column called “Five Things Other Conservative Websites Do That Annoy Me“. Unfortunately, that didn’t sit well […]

The American Mars Rover, which NASA said was out of touch with Earth for more than 24 hours, was discovered this afternoon on board the campaign bus of Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean. NASA mission control today praised the team of scientists and engineers who located the errant Rover. “We used the classic technique for […]

I bet you’re just dying to hear more obnoxious and wild speculation about Bush’s REAL motivation for going to war in Iraq? What…you’re not? Too bad, cause Katherine Van Wormer from Counterpunch has a half-baked piece of conjecture that I’m going to share with you anyway =D, “…Why did Bush have this thing about Saddam? […]

Maureen Dowd, who is quite possibly the 2nd least talented columnist in America just behind Mark Morford, had this to say in response to the part of the SOTU where President Bush listed our allies in Iraq, “You wonder how many votes (Bush) scared off with that testosterone festival: the taunting message, the self-righteous geographic […]

If Dean loses in New Hampshire next week, don’t be surprised to see this… Vote Dean in New Hampshire! Do it for the kittens! Thanks to Bike Crazy for the image & IMAO for pointing me there.

I was pleased to get an opportunity to do an email interview with someone of Thomas Sowell’s stature. Sowell, who is a former Marine, is a well known economics professor who has written numerous books (including “Basic Economics” & “The Vision of the Anointed”) and is syndicated in more than 150 newspapers. Because of time […]

As millions of Americans watch the New England Patriots take on the Carolina Panthers, every minute of the game will be scrutinized, from all angles and with action replays. But, amid the cheers of victory and cries of disappointment, you won’t hear a whisper of complaint from fans about the players’ multi-million dollar salaries–$3.8 million […]

I’m sure you’ve noticed RWN’s text ads on the left hand side of the page in the support section. So far, I haven’t made much of an effort to promote them, but as of today, that’s going to change. In order to induce people to buy these text ads on RWN, for February only, I […]

I have to laugh when I hear left-wingers claiming that Bush is some sort of radical who’s going to “undo the New Deal”. Bush is a big spending, government expanding, RINO on the domestic side. Jonah Goldberg elaborates, “For more than a year, we’ve heard one leftist after another complain that President Bush is the […]

If you want to see the very concerns conservatives have had about the international criminal court unfolding before your eyes, then you need look no further than a Reuters article called “UK cluster bombs may be war crime“. It starts off like so, “British use of cluster bombs in the Iraq war could count as […]

Here are a few thoughts on Bush’s State of the Union Address… — This was an important line, “Our greatest responsibility is the active defense of the American people. Twenty-eight months have passed since September 11th, 2001 — over two years without an attack on American soil — and it is tempting to believe that […]

Apparently, this email has been floating around the net because a friend of mine sent it to me yesterday… You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and […]

I would be remiss in my duties as a blogger if I didn’t weigh in on the topic du jour, Howard Dean’s disappointing 3rd place finish in Iowa. In my opinion, Dean nosedived in Iowa because, 1) He go so far out ahead of the pack after the Gore endorsement that the other Democratic candidates […]

With the characteristic charm that earned him the love and respect of roughly 18 percent of Iowa Democrats, presidential candidate Howard Dean bid the state farewell as he stepped onto his private jet tonight. “Shut up, you gun-toting, God-fearing homophobes,” Mr. Dean said to a cheering crowd of Iowa Democrats. “Your caucus is a meaningless […]

Bill Gates, one time CEO of Microsoft Corporation (MSN) and one of the wealthiest men in the world, announced today that a recent research scheme backfired, rendering him penniless and his company destroyed. Two weeks ago, Gates made the following offer to the world: “For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will […]

Marc Miyake from Amaravati: Abode Of Amritas alerted me to the existence of a Yahoo group with over 4000 members called “amputee-by-choice“. Now, I know that right now you’re probably thinking, “Hawkins, please, please, please, tell me there aren’t a bunch of sickos out there who want to chop off their own bodyparts”. Sorry folks, […]

How often have we heard stories like this? “A 17-year-old boy who said voices told him to kill was charged with stabbing his father to death and slashing his younger brother with a butcher knife Sunday, authorities said. Jordan Michael Carter, of Edinboro, was arrested and charged with homicide, attempted homicide and aggravated assault. …Jordan […]

You can really tell that Wesley Clark is Bill Clinton’s boy by watching him handle his big flip-flop on the war. Incredibly, Clark is still claiming, “I was against the war then, I’m against the war now. It was a strategic mistake for America.” Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Clark was […]

A Democrat in California’s state assembly said she has 24 co-sponsors for a bill she described as “fresh, outside the box thinking” to deal with that state’s $15 billion budget deficit. “The basic idea is pretty radical for Democrats,” said Assemblywoman Wilma Chan, “The bill calls for raising taxes on high-income earners to pay for […]

I am a big fan of David Horowitz’s work. Not only have I interviewed him, but I can honestly say that his book “Radical Son,” was one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever read. So with that in mind, I decided to pour through his columns from last year so I could compile a […]

Something Awful is a brilliant & hillarious humor website (although be forewarned, it’s also very crude & obscene). One of the features SA does daily is called the “Awful Link of the Day”. In some ways, it’s similar to ACPOTI (Anyone Can Post On The Internet), except SA tends to cover a lot of bizarre […]

Do you believe Bush was behind 9/11, had Paul Wellstone murdered, and suspect that W. is going to throw all the liberals in deathcamps one day? If so, you’re a member of the “tinfoil hat crowd”! But, while your head may be covered with a glorious, aluminum, stetson that will keep out the mind control […]

After hearing about that mother who found it more important to become a “martyr” than take care of her children, I realized that I never appreciated my own mom enough. So, I’ve written her a poem: Thank You Mom For Not Blowing Yourself Up By Frank J. Mom, you’ve always been there for me, Whether […]

Do you want to know why we have such a huge budget deficit and why it has proven impossible over the long-term to keep spending under control? It’s because of good ideas. Make no mistake about it, given the depth of the AIDS crisis in Africa, spending 15 billion dollars to help fight AIDS over […]

I received an email RWN reader David Bernstein which said, “I’m just curious, do you have a reason for liking Bush, or do you just like Bush because he’s a republican. If you do have a reason for liking (him), what (is it)?” Well David, I will admit that George W. Bush sure isn’t another […]

Former Senator and Ambassador Carol Moseley-Braun will abandon her White House bid so she can help Howard Dean find qualified African-Americans for his presidential cabinet, according to an unnamed party official. “I know that I can’t win this race,” said Ms. Braun. “And I also know that in 12 years as governor of Vermont, Howard, […]
