A few things I wanted to mention that I didn’t think merited their own posts… — My 5 least favorite Republicans/Libertarians/conservatives: Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Justin Rainmondo, Pat Buchanan, & Paul Craig Roberts. — I think the internet and the blogosphere is going to make it much tougher for a candidate to campaign on the […]

Because Howard Dean has been the frontrunner, he has drawn most of the attention away from the other candidates. I believe that has helped the Dems #2 candidate, Wesley Clark, quite a bit because he’s every bit as controversial and deserving of scorn as Dean is. So, I took it upon myself to put together […]

NGLOCOKTAN, SUBTERRAIN VOLGATH – Broadcast marketing analysts at Xanthro, Inc. reported an overnight ratings bonanza for the widely anticipated landing of the Exploration Rover Spirit, dispatched from Earth only two and one half maxi-Kline solar revolutions ago. The Rover, which was detected inbound for the Upper Reaches Northern Division early in its journey, landed safely […]

John Kerry has been surging in Iowa. In fact, he has moved so far, so fast, that he’s now in a statistical tie with Howard Dean & Dick Gephardt for the lead (Dean 24%, Kerry & Gephardt 21%, & a 4.5% margin of error). Some people may believe that Kerry’s campaign took off because of […]

Democratic Underground poster ThomWV explains his strategy for the 2004 election — lie, lie, lie!!! ThomWV: “I live in West Virginia. At least in this rural area I am certain that the major perception causing so very many of these good Democrats to have voted for the chimp in 2000 was that ‘Gore wants to […]

I received an email from 15 year high school student named Sam Burke who is a bit perplexed about how to counter the arguments of moonbats he runs into in high school. He describes some of the things they debate and then goes on to say, So by now we’re insulting each other’s parties, pointing […]

If you believe — as I do — that a lot of Democrats oppose things Bush does for no other reason than because Bush is the one proposing them, I think you’ll find these poll numbers to be quite revealing… “President Bush’s plan to build a space station on the moon and eventually send astronauts […]

What should we remember on Martin Luther King Day? In his “I Have a Dream” speech Dr. King said: “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This statement […]

“Today marks President Dean’s first one hundred days in office, and it certainly has been an interesting time,” Wolf Blitzer commented. “And to think that no one thought he could win the presidency against George W. Bush with the economy so strong and the War on Terror doing so well,” Paula Zahn remarked. “It has […]

There are three myths about illegal immigration that I’ve seen repeated numerous times of late during debate of Bush’s disastrous new immigration reform policy. Even some of the people who are against Bush’s reform have been accepting these myths as fact and I thought it was about time somebody set the record straight…so naturally, I […]

We all know that a lot of illegal aliens get paid off the books and therefore don’t pay income tax. It’s also a given that many illegals are leeches who use our social services, schools, and hospitals without paying for them. But folks, even I had no idea of how much crime was being committed […]

I’m not going to spend too much time talking about Paul O’Neill’s latest accusations against the Bush administration, because quite frankly, I consider them to be little more than sour grapes from a crybaby whose big ego couldn’t take the indignity of being fired. But, I did want to address a couple of claims that […]

Here are some of my favorite quotes by and about Howard Dean so far. They go from outrageous to contradictory, grating to bizarre. I think when you look at them as a whole, you’ll find they paint an unflattering picture… Foreign Policy “The Soviet Union is supplying much of the equipment that Iran, I believe, […]

“…Susan Block, a California sex therapist who hosts a syndicated radio show and HBO’s “Radio Sex TV,” wrote an April 15 column titled “The Rape of Iraq” for the antiwar Web site Counterpunch (www.counterpunch.org). …The column used rather elaborate metaphorical language to compare the conquest of Baghdad to rape. …On Oct. 22, Yeni Safak, an […]

I sometimes hear the question, “Why are you a Democrat?” and frankly, I have to laugh. Laugh and laugh, because perhaps this person may tire of my laughing, and he will eventually wander off. Sometimes I ponder seriously when I hear this question, because I’ll look around and around and there’s nobody there asking the […]

I just wanted to let all of you know that like Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh, I have a birthday coming up on Monday. So Richard Mellon Scaife, if you’re out there and were just waiting for an opportune time to give me $60,000 so I can go full time on RWN for a couple […]

When I heard that Wesley Clark said this… “If I’d been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time.” …I chalked it up to mere arrogance. But, after this… “Asked whether the current administration is doing enough to keep the country secure, Clark said he would increase homeland security efforts. He added: […]

A personal phone call from Al Gore inspired Elecia Battle to come clean and drop her claim to the $162 million Mega Million jackpot which she previously claimed to have won. “Mr. Gore called and just told me I should give it up,” Mrs. Battle said. “Even though I deserved the $162 million, and in […]

I haven’t done an edition of ACPOTI (Anyone can post on the internet) in quite a while. But, how could I ignore someone ranting about death machines in broken english? If you’re entertained by reading really kooky web scribblings — and I am — this sort of thing is just too good to pass up… […]

As the U.S. slowly draws a conclusion to the Gulf War, Americans gaze in reflection at these periods of war. To help us remember these tales of victory, the White House has teamed up with George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic to produce Gulf War I and II on DVD. This two DVD set is […]

Because this is an important issue, I want to spend a little more time elaborating on what’s wrong with Bush’s immigration reform and why I think it’s such a bad idea. 1) Even if Bush’s reform doesn’t give illegal aliens amnesty, it still rewards them for breaking our laws. I say that because the illegals […]

Over at About’s Political Humor, RWN came up short in the reader voting for the “Most Entertaining Right-Wing News & Commentary” category. However About.com also made their selection and YES, they chose RWN over The Drudge Report, WSJ’s Best OF The Web Today, Free Republic, & Newsmax. Mucho thanks to Daniel Kurtzman who runs the […]

Bill Doty from Broken Newz told me he found this pic on Free Republic. I thought it was pretty amusing and as far as I could tell after taking a closer look at it in PhotoImpact (the graphics program I use), it looks like the picture is genuine…

I just want to comment on a few of the things that jumped out at me as I read the text of Bush’s speech about the horrendous new immigration legislation he is going to propose. To begin with, this line just chaps me… “As a nation that values immigration and depends on immigration, we should […]

Here are a few comments from the “Helping Out The Paranoid Lefties Who Think The Right Is Evil” thread that I wanted to address… “John, I agree with most of your points, except I am for doing away with Social Security. Why should I be forced to pay into a Ponzi scheme?” — Crusader “I […]

Wondering what those lovable kooks at the Democratic Underground are talking about today? Well, apparently more than a few of them thinks Bush is going to pull a classic “El Presidente” move. Ya know, cheat as much as possible, hope that you win, but declare yourself dictator if you lose. Here are a few select […]

I’m not going to beat around the bush here; I am an ultra-conservative, radical, right-winger who is far to the right of George Bush. I favored the war in Iraq, I’m for term limits, a Balanced Budget Amendment, and a flat tax. I am implacably opposed to gay marriage, strongly approve of the war on […]

Some people seem to believe that Bush is Hitler, and I think that is wrong. Seems to me it’s time for an enlightening essay. Why Bush Is Probably Not Hitler by Frank J. While it is very hard if not impossible to prove a negative, i.e. Bush not being Hitler, I will do my best […]

A report by a team of sociologists has found that Jason Alexander, a complete unknown just seven days ago, has started a whole new wave in wedding trends — everyone will be married to Britney Spears for 15 minutes. Upon hearing news of the report, men throughout the planet canceled what they were doing and […]
