As I was reading a snide editorial in the WAPO about Bush’s decision to cut nations that aren’t helping us in Iraq out of the prime Iraqi contracts, I ran across a couple of paragraphs that I thought were worth responding too because they’re echoed common themes we’re hearing regularly from the left. From the […]

The more exposure to the press that the “anti-war” movement gets, the more of its dark underbelly gets exposed. In this case, Davids Medienkritik alerts us to one of the new projects of the “German Peace Movement”; taking up donations to support the “resistance” in Iraq…. …The German TV news program “Panorama” uncovered some of […]

Apparently the Bush administration is focusing on Howard Dean as being the challenge in the 2004 election, so I think I should to. Instead of just using my parody skills to forward my own agenda, I thought I might try and find some real news about Howard Dean. Ends up I found out through an […]

I decided to head over to the Democratic Underground to see what team DU thought about the events of the day, when a picture of a burning flag caught my eye. It went along with an editorial entitled, “Of Bonfires, Flags, and America the Beautiful” by Max Black. This being the DU, I immediately started […]

These sort of wild claims about global warming are so pathetic that they don’t even qualify as “junk science” in my opinion… “U.N.: 150,000 deaths tied to warmer world As negotiators on a global warming pact ran into new obstacles Thursday, a U.N. agency estimated that 150,000 deaths in 2000 were tied to warmer temperatures […]

When you have perhaps the most diehard Democratic partisan on the planet, James Carville, saying this about the man who’s probably going to be his party’s nominee, you have to think the Democrats are going to be in a lot of trouble in 2004… “I told Steve McMahon, the media guy for Dean, who was […]

Here’s what I wrote about the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill back in June 20th, 2002 while I was slamming the idea of charging broadcasters a fee/tax to pay for free air time for politicians (by the way, these old blogger posts were never archived on the current page just in case you’re were to […]

A new study released by the Institute for Responsible Entertainment revealed today that today’s “hyper violent” video games cause teens to spend hours in a limp, slack-jawed state of simulated mayhem. Dr. Colin Jenkins, who performed the study said, “It is truly alarming… these kids spend hours playing what ammounts to a murder simulator, while […]

The majority of politicians from both the GOP and the Democratic Party are completely out of step with the American people on the illegal immigration issue. Take Tom Ridge for example. Ridge, “…told a Miami audience Tuesday that the country should legalize millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country. “The bottom line is, as […]

Our fairweather friends who were shut out of the prime contracts in Iraq have started complaining about how we’re going to spend OUR MONEY. How dare we reward nations like Poland and Australia that risked their blood and treasure to support us while penalizing nations like France and Germany that did everything they could think […]

Gabriel Ash is a columnist whose work has appeared on an eclectic melange of leftist and Islamic websites. For example, he is regularly published in the Yellow Times and has also had his work used by Common Dreams & Counterpunch. But on the other hand, his columns have also appeared at Al Jazeerah & Jihad […]

Anti-Semitism in Europe? No way, nope, couldn’t be. They just loathe the Israelis, not Jews…isn’t that basically what we keep hearing? Christmas sales of Adolf Hitler wine have reached a record high thanks to publicity generated by attempts to ban it in both Brussels and Berlin. Wine-grower Alessandro Lunardelli started selling the bottles of Hitler […]

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 […]

— This makes such perfect sense that you know it’ll outrage the anti-war left… “Citing national security reasons, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has ruled that prime contracts to rebuild Iraq will exclude firms from nations such as France and Germany that opposed the U.S. war. In a policy document released on Tuesday, Wolfowitz […]

Someone bring George Bush over the monitor and email Karl Rove, because I’m about to say three words, yes, just three words that will make George Bush almost unbeatable in 2004. Those three words are….”Balanced Budget Amendment”. Now I know some of you may be saying to yourself, “What will proposing a Balanced Budget Amendment […]

Democratic leadership candidate Joseph Lieberman has admitted, after much rumour and innuendo, that he is part Muppet. “My mother left the Children’s Workshop when she was a teenager to try and make it in the human world. There she met my father and they fell in love.” Lieberman says he has been secretive in the […]

I wish I could say that I was surprised by all the attention that the utterly pointless Geneva Accords have been getting, but there’s absolutely no reed too thin for people to grasp at when it comes to making peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But people are just fooling themselves again. Let me […]

If you’re looking for a Christmas stocking stuffer, why not pick up one of G. Gordon Liddy’s “Stacked & Packed” calenders? You can support one of RWN’s advertisers & the G-Man while checking out a bunch of hot women handling firearms. What’s not to love?

I gotta admit that this topic is off the beaten path for RWN, but my curiosity about a phrase Bugs Bunny regularly uses got the best of me. It all started when I aped Bugs Bunny and said, “what a maroon” in reference to Congressman James Moran in The 2nd Annual Twenty Most Annoying Liberals […]

Being passionate about winning the war on terrorism is a good thing. This is the most important conflict our country has been in since WW2 and failing to get the job done could literally cost millions of American lives. However, that doesn’t mean everyone who doesn’t see it our way is a traitor who must […]

A youth-oriented lobbyist group will use a photograph of today’s Medicare reform law signing ceremony to raise money for efforts to overturn the most expensive elements of the $400 billion entitlement expansion. A spokesman for the American Association of Far-From-Retired Persons (AAFFRP) said the picture (shown below) illustrates how “old people feel about spending our […]

Once again this year, Right Wing News has put together a list of the most annoying people on the left. Oh and when I say “annoying,” I mean REALLY ANNOYING. We’re talking about fingers on a chalk board, crying babies in a movie theater, the neighbor’s dog barking at 3 AM, levels of pure left-wing […]

In a shocking new story broken by the the Australian, reporters confirm that Rodney King, the victim of 1992’s brutal police beating in Los Angeles, was actually killed in that event. “The police beating also recalled memories of the killing of Rodney King in 1992. Los Angeles erupted in violence after four white officers were […]

At a certain point, you have to start questioning whether people who are this colossally lacking in common sense are competent enough to run a school. Just read this story and you’ll know what I mean… “A student expelled from Parkway High for a year for having Advil, an over-the-counter pain reliever, will not be […]

If you want to know why Howard Dean would be such a horrible candidate for the Dems in 2004, look no further than the reaction of his campaign manager to a campaign ad run by the Club for Growth (which you can read or watch here). I really love this ad because it talks about […]

Los Angeles officials have asked that computer manufacturers, suppliers and contractors to stop using the terms “master” and “slave” on computer equipment, saying such terms are unacceptable and offensive.

This story is such an obvious abuse of power and it’s so antithetical to everything our country stands for that it’s hard to believe that it’s actually happening in the United States… “(Norfolk’s Redevelopment and Housing Authority) recently sent Thomas and Stella Musick a letter saying it would like to “buy” their Ocean View house. […]

Two things. First off, last month was RWN’s best month ever traffic wise. I pulled 148,931 daily uniques & 288,796 impressions. That’s particularly impressive since I spent an entire week on vacation in November. Just as a point of comparison, I pulled roughly around 130,000 impressions in November of 2002. Secondly, I have a lot […]

In every contest — well, unless it’s one devised by liberals — there have to be winners and losers. Of course, that also applies to the The 2003 Warblogger Awards. While there’s no way to mention every deserving blog, I thought it would be worthwhile to list what I consider to be the 25 best […]
