I’m going to be taking a Labor Day vacation which means that the next update of RWN will be on Wednesday. As per usual when I go out of town, I’ve put up a few websites I like in the daily news section. If I’m not going to be here, maybe I can at least […]

This statue of Lenin sits in front of Goff’s, a “hamburger joint” in Dallas…. I can’t tell you how much I love this. Once Lenin was king commie, but now? Lenin is dead, his evil empire has been lost, & now his statue sits in front of a mere restaurant in the land of the […]

California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante today said he is considering renouncing ties to a so-called racist organization which persists in judging a person by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character. “I don’t know if can stay with a group that promotes racial division,” said Mr. Bustamante. “Their ideas have […]

Left-wingers are highly sensitive to charges that they’re not patriotic. Heck, you could hardly make it through a week back during the war in Iraq without two or three angry lefties “courageously” going on TV or doing interviews with major magazines about how their dissent was being squashed and their patriotism questioned by the right. […]

DES MOINES, IA – In a moment of “sweet, poetic irony,” Steve Haskins, former acquaintance of AT&T pitchman Carrot-Top, refused to accept a collect call from the comedian earlier today. Haskins, who befriended the grating, painfully unfunny man while attending Florida Atlantic University, received the call while preparing for a weekend getaway with his girlfriend. […]

After talking about some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s positions today, Neal Boortz said this about members of the GOP who won’t support Arnold because he’s pro-abortion… “You know these Republican die-hards though. (Arnold’s pro-abortion stand) is enough to send many Republicans screaming into the electoral wilderness. If there is anything some Republicans just can’t stand it’s […]

I went through my statistics and picked out the websites that have sent me the most “visits” so far this year. I thought it would be nice to send a little traffic back to the websites that have sent it to me so far this year, wanted RWN’s readers to check out some excellent web […]

If you liked this satire by Shamus Young, you can see more of his work at The Lemon.

Out of all the titans in American history — Presidents and generals, inventors and entrepreneurs, reformers and revolutionaries — have you ever wondered who the left thinks the best of the best were? Well, we here at RWN wondered about that too and that’s why we decided to email more than a 130 left-of-center bloggers […]

In Dr. Chuck Tryon’s English 1101 course at Georgia Tech, the students are doing something a little bit out of the ordinary to build their skills. They’re studying bloggers! Including these “famous bloggers”… “Once you’ve looked around for a while, you can find bloggers whose values either align with or contrast with your own beliefs. […]

The Cable News Network (CNN) said today that it would begin announcing daily casualty tallies related to America’s various tax-funded government-run operations. The idea came from the daily count many news organizations keep of American Casualties in Iraq. The following data will be included in CNN’s new ‘Casualties of the Great Society’: — murders and […]

Sawad, alias Sardjiyo, a terrorist who helped make the bomb that killed 202 people in Bali yesterday decided to thank the people who supported his cause. Why who could that be? Osama Bin Laden? Radical Islamists all over the world? Why no! He wanted to thank the anti-war protestors…. “I want to thank the Australian […]

Michael Van Winkle over at The Chicago Report disagrees with the rhetorical beating about the head and shoulders that I gave to Mohamed ElBaradei over his ridiculous comments about nuclear weapons. Here’s a sample of what Michael had to say… “If the mission of the War on Terror, with respect to nukes, is ever to […]

Most of you capitalist, Yankee, pigdogs who are reading RWN probably have some concerns about nuclear weapons. Maybe you’re concerned that the rabidly anti-American, anti-Israeli, Islamo-fascists in Iran will get nukes and launch them before their regime is pulled down in a bloody revolution. Then there’s that pumpkin-headed goon Kim Jung-Il who’s so crazy he […]

Following the publishing of a report stating that France does not consider Hamas or Islamic Jihad to be “terrorist” organizations, France is now openly soliciting new ideas which could further alienate and offend its neighbors and former allies. The statement, made just two days after Hamas assumed responsibility for killing twenty civilians on a bus […]

Just for the heck of it, here are my 31 favorite editorial columnists in order. 31) George Will 30) Larry Elder 29) Michael Ledeen 28) Peggy Noonan 27) Johnathan Last 26) Daniel Pipes 25) Charles Krauthammer 24) Rich Lowry 23) Jackie Mason & Raoul Felder 22) John Leo 21) David Limbaugh 20) Heather Mac Donald […]

There are a lot of people in America, mainly on the left, who have a great love of international institutions, coalitions, and who crave approval from the rest of the world for every action our nation takes. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with cooperating with other nations or taking help from countries […]

The United States will send 22 million troops to Iraq this year to ensure the safety of every Iraqi and every structure in the country. Dubbed ‘Operation Buddy System’ by Pentagon planners, the idea is to pair each Iraqi citizen with a battlefield-equipped soldier or Marine. “Since we disturbed the peace by overthrowing Saddam Hussein,” […]

I wasn’t particularly pleased when I originally heard that Dick Lugar was going to become the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I say that because I knew the day would come when he’d make a boneheaded proposal like this one… “As violence escalates in the Middle East, the chairman of the Senate Foreign […]

If you needed any evidence that France doesn’t see the war on terrorism as America does, you need look no further than this… “France voices objections to placing Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the European Union’s list of terror organizations, ynet reported Monday. Diplomatic advisor to President Chirac, Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, is quoted to have said […]

A few things… — RWN appreciates our advertisers at American Realpolitik, Right Wing Stuff, D-42, Zogby Blog, Electric Venom, Ravenwood’s Universe, The Catholic Samurai, & Ghost Of A Flea. If you enjoy reading RWN, why not take a look at some of our advertisers…unless you’re a commie who hates advertising and profit & the whole […]

Right Wing News emailed more than a 125 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of who they considered to be the “worst figures of the 20th century”. Representatives from 39 blogs responded. All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-20 selections. Rank was determined simply by the number of votes […]

I found Bob Herbert’s editorial in the New York Times yesterday to be particularly grating for a number of reasons. His ridiculous comparisons to Vietnam & his complete inability to grasp the basics of the situation (among other things) make me wonder how he could even hold a job as an editorial writer for the […]

The United Nations today began distribution of mandatory prescriptions of Ritalin for all Iraqis. A spokesman said the U.N. hopes to reduce the incidence of violence through use of the medication, which is often prescribed for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among American school boys. “Iraqis cannot be held responsible for their misbehavior,” said the […]

I should have already put this up. A comparison between the left and the right on the greatest figures of the twentieth century along with my own selections. My selections were Kemal Atatürk, David Ben-Gurion, Vinton Cerf, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Dwight Eisenhower, Alexander Fleming, Henry Ford, Sigmund Freud, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates, Douglas MaCarthur, […]

Here some of my favorite quotes from some of the best baseball, basketball, and football coaches of all-time. Hope you enjoy them. (Cont)

The reparations lawsuits are of course completely ridiculous. But, you want to know what would make them even sillier? Imagine if white people were suing blacks because their ancestors carried away some farming tools when they were freed from slavery. Well, here’s something that’s just as laughable as that… “Egyptians may sue Jews over the […]

Jeff Taylor from Hit & Run writes…. “If you haven’t at least encountered the Sobig virus in your inbox you must not get much email. Estimates are that 75% of all mail could be Sobig or a Sobig-caused error message. Time to retool the system. The only possible solution is sender-pays email. Right now we […]

I’m sure most of you are aware of the tragic and senseless bombing of the UN compound in Iraq on Tuesday. So who is Kofi Annan now slamming for this terrorist attack? Saddam Hussein and the thugs who are following him? Al-Qaeda? Perhaps Hizbollah or the Palestinian terrorist groups who have sent men into Iraq? […]

You know, I like Michael Fumento’s work, so much so that I actually interviewed him. Because I enjoy his writing, think he does important work, and since he was nice enough to do an interview with me, I’m naturally quite hesitant to rip into him. However, his latest comments about bloggers and the blogosphere are […]
